Hi all,
I've been lurking for a week or just under and thought it only polite to drop a hello to all. So, hello all o/
I live on the east coast of Kent, I'm 32 and more recently been getting out & about in the countryside with a new hobby that some of you may know about - Geocaching. This is taking me further afield, sometimes into the dark depths of woods and I found this website whilst looking for hobo stoves.
As per usual when I get an idea in my head I do things in the wrong order, I have constructed my stove and successfully lit it up. Now all I need to do is track down a billy to slip inside it! Ohwell, I will learn one of these days.
I expect like many of you, I got my taste for the outdoors at a young age, I was a Cub, then a Scout and then a Venture Scout. In addition, all my family holidays until the age of 16 were in the form of camping under canvas and were all in the UK, unfortunately we never made it to Ireland which was on my list of places to go.
There are a few things that I would like to have a go at, like to see if I'm any good at and maybe pass on what little knowledge I do have.
I do hope I haven't waffled too much on my first post, hope I can contribute something in worthwhile in the future and thanks again to you all for making this forum so interesting. \o/
Phil.
