Easy done, real life gets in the way sometimes. I had a few trips and when I got there I didn't have motivation to stay.
Had a wee break and now out for the next few nights and so far loving it.

I get that myself from time to time Steve, it's hard to keep an interest sometimes as life gets in the way. Hope to see you about the forums again. You still on the same number? Ends in 22?

ATB mate :)

Hi Wulf,

Life does get in the way a lot. I didn't come here for a couple of years as I too had lost interest and when I became ill and couldn't get out I couldn't bare the thought of being even online amongst others who could go out. Then I popped on one night and gradually got (happily) pulled in by the gravity of kindness, support and interest of the wonderful people on here.

I'm getting out a bit more these days and I can go on loads of vicarious trips through the excellent reports and photos that members here post up. No-one minded negatively that I'd disappeared - in fact they were just happy I'd come back.

Have a wee time away if that's what you need, but don't be scared to return.

ATB with whatever you do,
GB.

I know what you mean. I have had a few hill outings over the past ten years, but not twice or three times a month like before the kids. Especially after my best friend and hillwalking companion died.

Now they join us I have found my love for hillwalking much more again.

I hope you find your enjoyment of whatever it is mate, whenever is good for you.

It comes and goes Steve, I think most of us have breaks when we get a bit fed up

Something will spark your interest again one day, and you know BCUK will be the same if you decide to pop in. Forums tend to go round in circles, the same subjects crop up as new members join which can get tiresome sometimes.

It sounds like you need a night out under the stars next to a fire

a bit of reverse psycology,

can I have your stuff ?

If your a bit snowed under its probably best for a rest. Or if your a house in a bed type of guy try more luxurious car camping(if you don't already)

I have several big passions in my life but the my longest love has always been fishing but I have found myself drifting in and out sometimes for long periods without even giving it a thought, even now, living in one of the great (trout lake fly & game) fishing meccas in the world....... bah, whatever it's still there when I need it like a loyal mistress!

same goes for the other things......... but its all good, my shootings on fire now without the pesky fishing!

Don't force it, it might come back, it might not but a dude needs something to do to get him out the house...... have a stab at something new. Not golf though, there is no need for that!:lmao:

You're 46 and you work in construction, therefore I feel its ok to talk to you thus:

Youre a yorkshireman, now stop blody whining and get out there. :beerchug:

[Well thats what I'd be told anyway.....:rolleyes:]

its just a phase man, you'll soon be back in the saddle.

Same thing happens with cycling clubs, mountaineering rambling groups, etc., Enjoy a wee break and you will come back full of enthusiasm after a wee while. Rake out your knife and axe and have a play around with a small fire in the back garden, Time yourself , building a fire and boiling a litre of water ,then try another method and see if you can beat your previous time. Once the Bushman's Telly gets to you, I am sure that the old passions will come back. Hope we hear again from you soon best regards, dare I say get well soon. Sorry I am being Cheeky, but mean well.
