A big hi to all

[ArkAngel]

Hi to everyone on Bushcraft UK

I've been trailing round the forums for a while so i've finally plucked up the courage and joined you all!

My name is Martin and i live in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. I am fortunate enough to live in a lovely little cottage with my wife Sarah. The cottage is part of the Rudding estate for anyone who knows the area.

I love all types of outdoor activites (as long as they aren't too taxing!) and have been a life long fan of what now seems to be called Bushcraft been introduced to it by my grandfather when i was young and he had a large farm.

As he is the only 'commercial' and easily available source of information i am a massive fan of Ray Mears and must of contributed heavily to his new Land Rover from purchases from his website I was one of the lucky ones to get a wood handled Wilkinson sword woodlore knife before they went out of production, and it IS used as a tool and not a show piece.

Keep up the good work, i'll see you all in the forums soon.

Hi cookie
Yeah i know the squinting cat well it is just round the corner from where i used to work (Beckwith Knowle).
As for i teach you learn...it depends what you want to know! haha
i hardly class myself as a competant bushcrafter, i get by and can do the simple stuff.
I hope to go to some of these "moots" if they have them reasonably close to me, perhaps we could go to one of those?
I'm on holiday next week so i may pop in and say hi...do you work every day around lunchtime?
