About Me

"When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely in your thoughts advanced to the state of science, whatever the matter may be."
Sir William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) 1883

	Italian option You might consider the Alta Via 1 or 2 in the Dolomites region of Italy.

	Re: Scotland, northern England The midges are worst in the West of Scotland, because that is the wettest part. There are much fewer midges in the East, so you might consider the Cairngorms area for example. See also http://www....	In Pre-Trip Planning » Scotland, northern England May 05, 5:01am
	Re: Multifuel jet size Aparently the Optimus 111 mentioned by James had the option of a 0.51mm jet for using with alcohol. I have an 8R but only a gasoline jet.	In GEAR » a multi fuel alcohol stove? May 01, 3:20pm

	Coleman Exponent Non-stick Cook Kit At first glance this looks like just another anodised aluminium cook set, but on closer inspection you will find that these pots have a real standout feature. There is a spiral groove machined or stam...	In Cookware - Other March 29, 12:43pm
