Hello everyone

[Aliwren]

Hi everyone , having viewed the site for afew days I am stepping forward to say hello to you all.

I am very interested in bushcraft though also little knowledge at present and somewhat awe inspired by the amount of experience on this site. I have recently moved to Bedford from the New Forest, which yes I am missing a huge amount but bills to pay! Any advice on 'getting started' is most welcome and I look forward to learning so many new skills over the coming years.

Hello again!

Hi Aliwren and welcome tp BCUK

A warm welcome Aliwren.

Getting started is obviously a personal taste. For me the idea of fire by primitive means is not only where I started but pretty well where I still am!

What do you think grabs you most at the moment?

Hello Aliwren and welcome.

Thanks for the warm welcome - abit more about myself. I was in the scout movement for over 12 years and generally got hooked on the outdoors in the Peak Distict. Really enjoyed weekends building own shelters and cooking on campfires. Last year was lucky enough to go on a walk in the woods with Mr Mears which opened my eyes to the whole idea of bushcraft, booked for a weekend course later this year but I am seriously tempted with a week long one, it seems such a vast subject. Are there any meets etc near the bedford area?
