Time to get BACK out

[andybysea]

Having been stuck mainly indoors for the last month, due to me doing my back in today was time to get back out and about.

I headed firstly to the main tourist bay, there was a large boat sitting in the bay,

and on closer inspection it was a UK border patrol boat, and it looked like the guys on the back were doing some repairs on the r.i.b on the back of it(cant see with my poop camera, had to use my bino's)

from here i headed off to a more secluded spot, heading first for a small loch,

, i passed the old boat house,

and then followed the path that leads to the coast,

soon i arrived at the cliff edge,looking in the direction of Edinburgh,North Berwick,and Fife.

time to head down to my fav brew up spot,

once down i took a few scenic shots,

and then a blatant self portrait,

then it was time to set up the honey stove and get a brew on,

once the kettle had boiled it was time for a bacon chop and black pudding,

ready in no time at all,

on to the white sliced hmmm butty time.

once id finished, took another couple of shots whilst having a walk around,

then it was time for the few miles home, was good to stretch the old legs,and should be out again soon.

They are designed to not look out of place at the dining table, bit of a French tradition well thats the general gist i got from researching on the web.

[RonW]

Great scenery, great weather, black pudding and bacon.... Sounds like a day well spent!

Is that a Norwegian backpack, btw?

 

[andybysea]

Yep Ron its the Norwegian pack,but as you can see from pic's ive used some Brit 58 pattern webbing,and some Brit GS bergen straps to make better shoulder straps than the leather ones that it came with,these can be pulled tight or loosened real easy,instead of having to use the buckles on the leather ones.

 

[Aragorn]

that looks really neat andy, would you have some better close up pics of the alterations.

 

[andybysea]

Aragorn, i will take some pics and put them up, you used to be able to buy(were i got mine from) the gs bergen straps for 99p from Dragon supplies, and ive got loads of 58patt bits n pieces.

 

[Aragorn]
