I've been steadily putting together a little site to play with over the last week as i'm a complete novice to the craft. I'm hoping to put in a good few hours tomorrow finishing it off and then maybe cooking something on the fire, if i can actually get one going this time hah.

I'd be more than grateful for some company, conversation and maybe a couple of pointers. So people with patience would be highly desirable. I have a very basic kit, even more basic understanding of the craft but a huge appetite to learn and improve. So this could be the opportunity for one of you to have your own pupil or even future partner in crime. Also just to point out, that due to the items i actually possess, the "meet" will have to be a one day only affair and not overnight. Just figured i should mention it so people were aware :)

Here's the thread detailing my progress and journey so far, if you wanted to learn a little about me and my ability before you decide to tag along...

There might even be a little bit of whiskey in it to keep warm ;)

Hopefully hear from a few of you soon.

Shame I'm busy, otherwise I would love to pop along. Being a "noob" as well, it would be fun to meet with fellow bushers :)

Would've quite happily come along to join you, but Leeds is bit far for me (I don't drive). If ever you fancy a trip down the M1 I'll quite happily trade a little knowledge for a drop of whiskey :)

Whiskey is worth knowledge any time of the year to me Shaggystu so i'm not surprised that peaked an interest haha

Hi Mike. Would have much preferred to be out rather than working today. :cool:

I'm in North Leeds so maybe next time. Looks like a good spot you have found.

I've a few skills I'd be glad to teach you and I'm sure I can find some bits of bushcraft kit you can give a home too. If it's stuff I've made it will give me a chance to practice making more.

Hope you you had a good day out
