Greetings from Wet Wales

[cave_dweller]

Hello All,

Having been a lurker for a while, I figured it was time to join in the fun!

In honesty, I'm almost completely clueless with regards to bushcraft, but I'm keen and willing (a dangerous combination!). Hopefully my stupid questions will at least provide a little light entertainment.

Regards,
Glenn.

I was told when I joined the site, there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers. Ask away. I'm sure like me you'll soon be made most welcome.

Hello Glenn, welcome to the forum. Don't worry about asking any question you want, that's what it is all about.

Hi Glenn, and welcome. I lurked for ages too. Joining in was a great decision. You'll learn loads on here.

I'm a man of Gwent, so we might meet up sooner or later at a meet or two.

Hi there and welcome!

 

[cave_dweller]

Thanks for the warm welcome all!

I'm learning a lot already. To be honest I'm still miffed at missing the Bushmoot earlier in the year, but I'm determined to get there next time around - it's less than 10 miles away, so there's no excuse really!

This place is very motivating - I've decided that this weekend's project is going to be a hobo stove (if the kids will leave me alone for long enough...)

We're practically neighbours. I worked in Llandow until a couple of years ago.

I live on the other side of the A48, near Llansannor. Since Llansannor seems to be more a concept than a place, it's probably easier to say "near Llanharry"!

Llansannor is a lovely part of the vale,some great woods round there that need exploring.
not sure if they're private or have Public access,will have to get the local Os map out and have a look.
I might know you or defo know the company you worked for i deliver up at Llandow every day

Cheers
Scott

Hello mate, I'm from just over them there hills originally, cwmbran . But am know living in Chelmsford Essex.

I am aiming to get back to the motherland in the next few weeks for a wild weekend. I know a great spot as you come over the top of the forest drive (near to the new mountainbike tracks) as you drop on the Cwmbran side, near the old quarry, in the the pine forest, great spot.

Is it possible to wild camp any where inside the forest drive area or are they pretty strict with that???
