Google Cardboard Virtual Reality <$20:
This is simply the most amazing thing I have seen in a long while. Turn your mobile phone into a VR headset. Download 360 degree films from Youtube.

Let There be Light: Great New Head Torch
Black Diamond Spot 200 Lumens Head Torch: This is a great new head torch.

Steve’s Mulligatawny:
Again, not a hiking meal but a family favourite. It may sound like a curious blend of flavors (it is not actually an Indian recipe -as you would think) but quite delicious nonetheless. Your taste might dictate a little more curry perhaps but these ingredients keep my family happy. Enjoy: Ingredients: 2 tablespoons oil
Cauliflower Rice
Della’s Chilli Con Carne with Cauliflower Rice for tea last night. We will be eating a lot more of this instead of real rice. You can also make fried rice. Blitz cauli florets in food processor (very) briefly until it resembles rice. Toss in a fry pan in a small quantity of olive oil approx

Pedometer App:
Much cheaper than a ‘Fitbit’, etc. Look on Google Play. There is any number of them free. I am using Walklogger. Your data might look something like this (if you spent Sunday and Monday in bed – copied this image from Google).

Steve’s Pasta E Fagioli:
Della was off being crafty again, leaving me a temporary widower – so I had to shift for myself. I made THIS excellent soup.
