Hello one and all.
New to the forum so just wanted to say hello and introduce myself.
Not sure if this is the place to do it but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
As I say new to the forum but have lived and worked in the outdoors my whole life. Originally as a serviceman. Then as a bushcraft and now in my later years as a hill walker. Myself and my wife recently completed the Longtown big black mountain challenge with no training and great results and this has really fuelled my interest in such challenges. Over the years I (we) have spent a lot of time in the hills, living on top of dartmoor that's a given, but also in Wales particularly.
Probably not as up to speed on events and gear etc hence my signing up as I plan to tap the fountain of knowledge here.
My new 'big interest' is fastpacking, as this involved 3 things I love. Hiking and running, travelling light and self sufficiency... I described it to a friend as bushcraft in its purest form (think Daniel day Lewis at the start of last of the mohicans)... But I digress.
Anyway just wanted to say hi in advance and apologies for any stupid questions before I ask them.
Cheers
Gary
