Backpacking Trolls

Lick of Paint

As the blog is coming up on its fourth birthday; I thought a lick of digital paint was in order.

So here it is the freshly painted londonbackpacker.

There will probably be a few tweaks over the next few days; so be careful as the paint may still be wet.

Just some harmless fun

Sheep

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Been on a foraging trip; looking for fuel for the honey.

Happy Halloween

Not much happening tonight; so playing with some new software.

Wild Camping

You either love it or hate it

With all the rain and flooding we have had in the last month, the conditions are perfect for mosquitoes and we are in for a plague of the wee beasties.

But help is at hand; the way to beat these beasties is to eat MARMITE.

It seems as holidaymakers in Norfolk are the first to be attacked.

Best get down to the supermarket and stock up; nothing like a bit of panic buying.

It will be interesting to see if marmite sales are up over the next few weeks.

Alternatively take Vitamin B.

It must be a slow news day on Fleet Street (I know most of the papers aren't on Fleet street anymore).

Tick, mozzies and now...

Albino plastic ducks.

It seems as though the SW coast of England is about to be invaded by albino plastic ducks.

Full story here.

This could turn into another Branscombe beach., especially if the prices for items are to believed.

Maybe I should leave my rubber ducky in the Sun for a few weeks and see how much I can get for it.
