He's been on Facebook............ maybe the 'F-Book Addiction' has taken over and he forgot about stirring things up here? Lol

[Ben Casey]

[Martin]

Hey Ben, glad you're ok, was a bit worried as we hadn't seen you for quite a while.

[Ben Casey]

I thought I would be safe on FB for a bit but I found out that some normal people over there want things like relationships :) The real world isnt half scarry LOL

Cheers mate has to be good I bet has Adam been on recently?

[Metal mug]

BUMP. Where's Ben?

[bigzee]

For future reference: if I "go quiet" for a while, it's probably because we've got behind with internet payments - so don't fret Martin. It's reassuring to know you're thinking of us though mate.

Hi guys I'm still alive I just dont seem to have got on here much lately :( I was in France last weekend for an Old Army reunion that was nice :) But there doesnt seem to be much up here in the North in the bush craft sense :( I did ask around but got nowhere and time has sort of over took me :) Anyway I'm still alive not kicking very much though at the min :) And I will have to get my act together to get back on here more often :) My main plan at the min will be to hit the Footsteps of Discovery next year and I'm planning to hit Africa in Jan so they are my defos for the min :) I hope you are all OK :)

[Tony1948]

Ben, are you anywhere near Chopwell Woods? They do quite a bit of bushcraft stuff, courses and the like and i believe the main bushcraft officionado? is ex forces as well so i'm sure you will get on with him. The "Friends of Chopwell woods" are always looking for new volunteers etc to help out at their woodland centre. Why not give them a bell and see if you can get more involved there?
