    Default The wife calls me Never Grills

    Hi,
    I'm Dave from Selkirk here's my story.

    After being hospitalized at Christmas with Pneumonia the doctor has ordered me get out and get some fresh air, reduce my stress levels and lose some weight, not being much in to sport I thought about going back to what I enjoyed in my youth which was hill walking, camping and messing about in the woods. So I got myself some boots and some water proofs and headed for the hills after a couple of weeks I thought to myself why did I ever give this up. So that why I’m here to meet new friends learn new skills and get to grips with Mother Nature.

    Cheers
    Dave

    Good on you dave. You've come to the right place.
