A voice from the past.

Hi all.

I stumbled across this site and forum by accident and can’t believe how useful it’s going to be.

In my work I study, recreate and teach about the lives of ancient peoples. Iron-age, Roman, Saxon and Viking. This involves many skills that you might consider under the title of “Bushcraft”

In my spare time I indulge my other passion which is landscape photography and this takes me out into the wild and under canvas (or just the stars) on many occasions.

I grew up around the hills and dales of Westmorland and now live in Lancashire.

I’m sure I’m going to learn a great deal from you all but I hope I can put something back in too.

Welcome Wayland !!
I'm sure you will enjoy yourself here and I'm sure that your contributions will be valuable. Your web-link looks pretty interesting already.

Cheers,

Martin

Huge welcome to you mate, it's great to have you. Let me know where in Lancashire you are as there's a few of us up here and we try to get together every now and then!

IT looks like you've got stuck in so I'll skip my usual get stuck in speal!!

Thanks for joining


PS....You've got some fantastic photos on your site

 

[Snufkin]

welcome Wayland

 

[Wayland]

Tony: Thanks for the welcome. I recon there's no point getting involved in something if you're afraid of getting your feet wet. Sort of like life really.

I'm based in Shaw, just North of Oldham so, geographicaly, I only just qualify as a Lancashire lad, (I'm not too sure about the "lad" bit these days either )

Being handy for the M62 it's useful for getting around though.

Glad you like the photo's, bit of a labour of love I suppose but it's a damn good excuse to get out in a mixture of conditions.

Hi wayland

come on in and make yourself at home

Welcome Wayland - the photograph of Castlerigg stone circle reminded me of my first visit there about 10 years ago.... it was late evening and the atmosphere on that occasion was beyond description...very special and it hasn't been repeated on subsequent visits. Enjoy your time here, we do....

 

[EdS]

Welcome.

Thought your personal details said somewher in the tenth century - that first photo looks like modern Oldham -(ducks back behind the boarder).

 

[Wayland]

EdS: watch it mate or I'll set that dog on you.

 

[EdS]

If the dog is any good at catching mice or squirels he can come round any time.

 

[Wayland]

She's pretty good at ratting and chasing weasles of all things.

Hello, Wayland.

As a (former) "Dying History" Viking re-enactor from just down the road (Stalybridge), welcome.

The re-enactment/bushcraft crossover is quite striking (and unsurprising, I suppose) and noticable to me from the living history stuff I'd done in amongst skirmishes ;-)

There seems to be some crossover in the axe fetish department, too...

Jim.
