A voice from the past.

Yes, it's interesting, I’ve actually been interested in Bushcraft even longer than I’ve been into living history.

Growing up around the hills was the start of it. I didn’t know there was a name for it until I found a book called Bushcraft by Richard Graves in the late 70s.

I suppose living history appealed to me for the same sort of reasons. It was always the ancient technology and skills side that caught my interest rather than the usual "Vikings will be attacking a 3pm" stuff.

Ditto, both counts. My inspirational book was Anthony Greenbank - "Survival for Young People" - again, late 70's

Loved the bits of LH that I did (mosly camping in a home-made Viking tent, cooking and a bit of metalwork/bodging...

...though it *was* fun attacking at 3PM

Welcome aboard, anyhow.

Welcome, and good to see a landscape photographer here - I used to be passionate about photographing the land in Monochrome, and this has just been rekindled with the switch to digital...

Look forward to seeing some photo's on the album page.

Tony, you mentioned that some of the locals like to get together every now and again. Anything happening soon?
