Greetings from Hampshire

Hello All,
I’m 26 and living up on the Hampshire South Downs, surrounded by a certain deserted medieval village (there’s your clue!).

Have lived on a farm all my life, and now that I work here too, have a growing interest in bushcraft.

Enjoy shooting, making things from scratch, I am a stickler for quality tools & gear with the old motto ‘‘that’ll do’, isn’t good enough’. I have been getting into woodcarving & using axes for the last year to feed my ever growing woodpile.

I like to think my household is fairly self sufficient, no central heating – just 8 tons of logs fed through the woodburner each year! The missus grows the veg.

On another side of things, I’m becoming increasingly interested in the ‘cowboy style’ of stock management, having spent time in Wyoming. We run 300+ head of cattle, would like to start working horses with them, have already learnt to use bullwhips, so if anyone rides&works quarterhorses in the area, let me know.

Regards, Anthony.

Howdy Anthony,

Lomers Village by any chance? If so I was a near neighbour until a few months back.

Either way, welcome aboard

What he said :)

We used to walk around Lomers regularly - looped up through Betty Mundy's, up across Lomers, back through the permissive on the Preshaw, across St. Clairs to to the back of the golf course and on to the Hampshire Bowman. One of my favourite walks that.

Used to see Bushwacker Bob or Louis in the Bowman now and again.

You live in a gorgeous spot mate.

Thanks, and I'm glad to hear your using our permissive routes, I painted some new signs for them over the summer.
