    Welcome to the forum mate. I'm in Stalybridge. PJMCBear's - I used to live in Hyde, ma & pa still do. I have yet to attend a Moot, don't know what has stopped me really...maybe it's that everone seems to have a vast amount of knowledge compared to me! Would you recommend attending one?

    The League Against Ration Packs

    I can second what Mick has said r.e the 'Look What We Found' range. Very tasty indeed and i managed to pick up a few from the good food show a few months back for around £2 each.

    Nanock Jacket

    Picked up my jacket from the sorting office today...must say i'm really impressed with this jacket. Have worn it around the house for a bit and went for a short walk to see how warm it kept me as it's pretty cold outside. It worked a treat and is very windproof also. Have 'modded' it a bit...

    Heads Up: Ray Mears in Country Walking

    Just thought i'd give you all a heads up on the December issue of Country Walking i've just picked up. It has a 4 page article with Ray and he's talking about what makes him tick and "getting to know nature intimately." I haven't yet read the article but anything by the man is usually a...
