new Dartmoor-er saying hello

[.XII.]

greetings all,

i'm Alex, another long-time lurker who's finally taken the plunge and signed up. my main interests are walking, local history, as well as all things sharp and shiney (so i've been on British-blades for a while already).

but the urge to get out there is just too strong to ignore anymore, so i thought that if i'm gonna spend more time out and about then i'd better sign up and start repayin y'all for the knowledge and ideas i've picked up over the years....

You might want to check out a couple of threads:

These prove two things: 1. There's plenty of action in your area. 2. The people that go to these events are madder than a box of frogs! Which is nice!

There's a couple of people who come from your neck of the woods so there could be an opportunity for car-share - if that helps.

Hi Solway.

Spelling excused - bad spelling and punctuation is pretty much the norm here.

If you fancy either of those Dartmoor meets, I'm going to be going, so, if you wanna ride shotgun let me know.

BTW: Welcome to the forum.
