Hello folks Im Tony I live and work in central scotland.
Used to spend a lot of time out doors but not done a great deal in recent years except go to bike rallys and go camping in places with pools.
But now feeling the call getting myself some kit reading a few books and trying to remember how to tie a knot.
Not a walker and have no real wish to spend days treking from here to there. just like the peace and quite, and a good fire.
Not been on any courses but it sounds like good fun.
Need to find out about places to go access etc.
anyway hello! :wave:
Hi mate,
Welcome to the camp.
You'll find all sort on here from the armchair bushcrafter to nutters that climb mouintains and stuff ;)
Doesn't matter what you do out there, just that you do get out there.:wave:
And just rememebr, there are no daft questions. Only daft sods! :rolmao:

Hi Tony
There is always room for another Scot here at our virtual fireside.
If you do not want to walk to far it sounds like you should get your self a nice open canoe and explore some of the Lochs. Easy way to travel and no kit on your back.
Welcome again.

Hi there,
You'll find allsorts here so should fit in. (even I do).
Welcome Tony, know the feeling well. Keep looking out of the window at work and wishing I was surrounded by trees. Spent the last hour trying to explain to someone at work why I'd rather wake up, unzip the tent, take in the countryside and get a brew going than sleep in a hotel.... she still doesn't get it.
:wave: Welcome aboard, good to have you here.

Welcome Aboard mate! :wave:
Hi Tony,
There's a growing ban of Scots on bcuk.......we'll be upsides with the Welsh mob soon :-)
Fortunately the natives are friendly, and full of good ideas.
Enjoy.

Welcome Tony,
if I wasn't Dutch I would be proud to be a Scotsman!

Go on, confess it, it's the kilt and the big swords isn't it? :-)
Actually there's a long history of trade between the Dutch and Scots, lots of our words are very similar too.

And that too, ofcourse. I've played the bagpipes for about 5 years in the oldest pipeband of the mainland!
A ban on scots! Brilliant idea!! :rolmao:
:oops: Trust you to spot that! :-)
Freudian slip? well no, slip of the moggie with muddy paws :roll: all over my keyboard when I'm trying to work:?: d*** nuisance. Someone told me that there are vegetarian cat foods available....revenge, revenge :twisted:
