Hey All
« on: 00:31:13, 19/09/08 »
Hi all,

I have stumbled across this site and thought I'd join.

Not done any walking for years which I am shamed to admit. As I said I stumbled across the site. A power cut this evening saw me reach for my ever trusty 16 year old Coleman Dual Fuel stove. While i was boiling water to make the family a cup of tea I found myself drifting down memory lane. Remembering my stove was the bee's knees when I bought it I wondered what the new great thing is now.

So when the power came back I googled and came across you guys here. A quick scan saw me chuckleing on a few posts so i thought I'd join. My other hobbies are photography and diving I figured getting back into walking could help both.

Welcome,

They are a good bunch here, plenty of knowledge about.

The new thing in stoves is a little like this, all about efficiency (with a thin veil of burn less gas save the planet marketing!  ;D)

Welcome to the forum, I'm new here myself and only recently back into my boots after a few years away.  I'm a lapsed diver too, two pregnancies saw to that.  Nice to see you here!

Memories indeed, although after being told by my parents to be careful I reminded them that I first had this sove when i was 14/15. As I was lighting it I was thinking i never had polyester trousers on then lol.

The plan is to get fit and get back into walking

Try it the other way round, get back in to walking and get fit.
