• Midlands
• Always enjoyed hiking and camping, want to learn what I'm doing properly rather than just winging it (although I suppose winging it and figuring out your own solutions is part of the fun, I still want to get better at doing things by-the-book so I can expand further in my outdoors activities - particularly observing wildlife and covering longer/more challenging distances/terrain). Also just figured this would be a good place to find out about destinations and activities I've never heard of.
• Yes, just the aforementioned - hiking/hillwalking/Grade 1/2 scrambling and camping. Trying to learn to identify different birds but since I can't yet, I can't exactly claim to birdwatch
• All sorts of things - anything to do with bushcraft and wilderness survival is of interest to me
• Pretty much anything as I'm trying to get more knowledge in all fields of outdoorsmanship.

Welcome to the forum Boycie

Bear in mind, it's over 15 years since many of us saw the 'introduce yourself' topics

Welcome to the forum. I started bird watching in the garden. I got a small collins gem book of birds for about 2 quid There are many species that visit. I put a feeder out every now and again (just in winter) . Word soon gets round and I get to see all sorts. .
