Day Trip To Mam Tor in Peak District 2020

In England, with the Corona virus lockdown relaxes, we decided to go for a hike in Peak District last weekend. After doing some research, came across the Mam Tor circular walk.

We started the journey on a Sunday morning and after 1 hour drive from home, we came to the Mam Tor National Trust Car Park. Here you can park the vehicle safely and pay for it though "pay by phone" app, which was very easy and convenient.

We started our journey from the Mam Tor National Trust Car Park towards the hills of Mam Tor under the cloudy sky. 
Following are some photos I took while we were there,

On the way back to the car park we took a short cut went bit of off road and came across "Winnats Pass" a hill pass and a limestone gorge in the Peak District. Following are some amazing photos of "Winnats Pass" I took,

Sri Lankan Egg roti / Biththara roti with easy recipe


In these covid lockdown days me & my wife decided to make some Sri Lankan street food that we missed a lot. 
Sri Lankan Egg roti also know as Biththara roti is popular street dish which is hard to come by as lot of restaurants are still closed. We used M.R kitchen YouTube channel Egg roti /Biththara roti recipe to make them, below are photos of the yummy outcome.

M.R kitchen YouTube channel Egg roti /Biththara roti recipe was easy to make and taste was exactly taste like the one you find in the restaurants. We also experimented few of them by adding grated cheese, which make the recipe to another level.

So rather than waiting for the restaurant to be open give it try on this quick recipe of Sri Lankan Egg roti / Biththara roti. 


Enjoy!
