    Hello and welcome. I'm from Manchester, but there are a couple of people from your area in the Greater Manchester Bushcraft Group. We have a meet planned at the end of the month if you are interested. Look at the thread "July Giants Seat Meet" in England North.

    Hi and welcome.

    As you are a registered Viking can I ask, what kind of axe do you have?

    Not Preston, but E Lancashire so not that far.

    As others have said, keep an eye on the Meets section of the forum...there are some really nice folk that attend them.

    Hi Tetley, its nice to talk to someone local, i spend a lot of time up Tockholes wood but it would be nice to spend time with other people with the same interest, my partner isn't really into it and my friends are too girly and wussy lol.
