Hi, I'm Mike. I've been lurking here a while, I like the forum, its a nice vibe so I'm saying Hello.

I've been walking more and more recently and started taking food and drink, Got myself a backpack and a poncho. My walks have developed into lowland day hikes, though I'm determined to spend 2 or 3 days out soon, hiking to ancient hill fort sites.

I'm located in south Shropshire so there are plenty of good spots to go, I am learning about bushcraft and camp fires and always leave no trace and strive to remain undetected wherever I go. I try to stick to public footpaths but the woods are so tempting. I am always on the lookout for hawks, deer, wild boar, sheep kills, interesting insects and plants I know a few local farmers that I will be asking for permission to use their woods, I also have a friend who lives in a Yurt all summer and am learning off him a lot as he is well into nature and self sufficiency.

Some pics from my walks during the last couple of weeks...

Hope that's OK

Practicing cooking....
