    Hallo old chap...from UK

    Joined the forum last week, and my hammocks arrived today. I'll be short testing them at the weekend, with a 'used in anger' S24O at some point next week. I can't believe it's taken me over forty years to plan some 'hang time'. I spent two years in NC a while back, and can't wait to get back stateside to try the hanging there.
    Summer will be spent in Charleston, SC with a trip down to the Keys thrown in.
    No doubt a whole lot warmer than old Blighty!

    I live in the north of England, and spend my working life teaching: Climbing, navigation, exped skills (basically I get paid to do all the stuff I'd be doing if I didn't have a job).

    I look forward to learning lots, expanding my skill set.

    Welcome - Welcome !!!

    Love my trips to the UK - Have been all around your fair nation. Though, if I may say so, the Cotswold area suits me fine!!

    I'ave spend a fair bit of time in NC too... considering that is where I am from. But I'ave grown fond of the Western states now.

    Sounds like you have the PERFECT job! Few can say such a thing.

    My biggest challenge these days is tying off to Redwood trees .... they are MASSIVE... even the small ones

    Again, Welcome, and Happy hanging!!!!

    Hello and welcome, Antone. Pretty new here myself but great to see a growing UK hammocking community. The people here are second to none for sharing their experiences and know-how of hammocking.

    Welcome!

    Love that part of the country. I have in-laws in Hutton-Cranswick (near Driffield in the East Riding of Yorkshire), and my wife will be there for a visit at the end of this month. I couldn't come this year (too much to do).

    In the meantime, Charleston is about two hours from here, and there are a few others of us down in that immediate area. Hope you enjoy!
    I used to be a somebody, now I just camp.
