Hi all,
I have joined this forum as I will shortly be embarking upon my first major backpacking trip through the Dales, Lake District, North Wales, Ireland - Kerry & Cork, Brecon Beacons, Exmoor and Land's end.

I hope I can learn a little something from some of you and in return share my knowledge of all things camp craft & survival.

I'm 24 years old. I'm pagan and i work in and around East London as a boiler technician, driving door to door fixing central heating systems. I grew up in the country and aim to one day again (just as soon as i make my million in the city! lol)

anyway, hope to get to know you all and stuff

Blessed be
Paul.

maybe we should start a pagan walkers poll to see how many there are on this forum?

i've found that a lot of 'us' can be quite secretive about their faith & believes & its quite understandable when you think of the negative preconceptions that the average ignoramus has of Paganism & indeed Pagans.

I don't go around blowing my goats horn & waving a green flag proclaiming my believes, but nor do i try to hide them. I feel that if people have a problem with what 'we' believe then they probably don't know much about them & indeed 'us'.
I suggest education before opinion, no knowledge then

By all means, do start a poll Phaty (can i call you Phaty ) but maybe as an open question i.e "How does your faith work for you?" or something. Just a suggestion, either way i would take part

Paul
