New girl from East Sussex

[MandaPanda]

Hi there like-minded souls!

I'm Amanda (42) from near Brighton and in April I decided to take a career break from work to "rediscover myself" or some such midlife crisis thing!
I know I have probably paid over the odds but I have just treated myself to a Woodlore Fundamental Bushcraft course (to get me back into this) and whilst browsing the internet found your community.
Wow!
I really think you guys and gals will inspire me and help me rediscover the things I enjoyed doing as a child / teenager.
(I was in the Brownies, Guides, Rangers, Red Cross and really enjoyed camping, hiking and did my DoE.)
It would be nice to chat and meet up with some like-minded folk, have a few laughs and learn some new skills.

Hello and welcome to the forum Amanda

You'll enjoy your Fundamental course... it's hard going but worth every penny you paid for it

Speaking purely as a very satisfied customer of Woodlore

Welcome Amanda, I'm sure you'll get what you pay for from a woodlore course - have often been tempted myself

you'll get plenty of info from here but doing is always better

Hi, Amanda - *waves*- I'm new here myself, so it sounds a bit odd I guess, but welcome
Loving the Ramones t-shirt, by the way...

Welcome to the forum. You've chosen well with the fundamental, mentally rather than physically challenging, and really worth while. There were four ladies on the course when I did it a few years ago, one of whom was probably the best student there.
