Nice thread bump

Met a guy from BB (Dougster/Rich) to go shooting who lived local to me (well to let him have a play with my custom rifle more than anything) we got on he invited me along to a meet, met a group of really nice guys which i'm happy to now call friends. They were all members here so joined initally to say thanks for a great weekend.

I blame my belly :D

I'd just taken up HFT at the time and was on AirgunBBS. Saw the Ray Mears voyageur program one night. Asked on AirgunBBS if anyone could tell me the ingredients in his bannock (the one with the rum n flies :yuck: ) and someone pointed me here.

.and then came BritishBlades... and then Magikelly started SOTP... my wallet's not been the same since :lmao:

edit: oops! - looks like I've already posted in this thread once :banghead:

I was browsing different bushcraft sites and linked to this site out of curiosity.
A very happy find indeed.

It was Eric Methvens fault! He made me do it! I just wanted to sit and watch the big lads playing, but he said I had to join, or he'd put worms in my wellies!


Okay:rolleyes:, He told me about BCUK, back in April 2007 and said it was a really good site, full of interesting stuff as well as some really nice, interesting folk and it would be right up my "via" "street" or "strada" so I joined and he was right:)

Thanks Eric;)

A friend recommended QDanT's superb travelogues. In the process of finding them I found quite a bit of other stuff I found interesting.

Far far from it. Many members here are members there.

Ah ok, I just assumed it would be like one of those annoying american gun forums..everyone showing off their rediculous 'EDC' .. is there many active members? compared to here.

BCUK kept turning up in search results and I eventually twigged that joining would save me the step of going via Google :)
