Hey guys,
Finally decided it was time to post a newbie post! Anywho, I'm from West Kent (bordering Sussex), and wondering where people go out and about in this area? Currently in a gap year, and in the intermediate 'nothing to do' stage and want to get out locally. After having vaguely tottering around these forums, I see there's quite a few knife makers and woodcarvers and I'm keen to try my hand at both. Bearing in mind that being a gap year student and having just paid for 4 Reading tickets and my next trip abroad I am broke! So basic starting gear and advice would be very welcome.
Cheers, Jonny
Edit: Just realised I put absolutely nil about my past experience! Erm, was in the cadets (as pathetic as it is...), spent a month trekking in Zambia and 3months working with the Sarawak Forestry Commission in Malaysia, where I spent a couple of weeks at a time in the jungles of the Bario highlands. I think that's about it...
