Good morrow to all, from Great Britain

[Redwall]

Yes I do have bad teeth and a funny accent but I still love sleeping in my hammock!

I got a hammock a few years ago and have spent several nights in the Cornish woodland with it. Been on a bit of a dry spell recently, lacking anyone to go with and not particularly enjoying solo trips. However with summer coming I've roped in a few friends and got myself a DD Frontline Hammock (the old one split whilst I was in it), ready to hit the Forest of Dean next week and hang from as many trees as I can this summer!

It's always interesting to read how other people are hanging and tarping so I look forward to sponging all of your info and maybe even contributing something useful myself (I'll let you lot be the judge of that though).

A little bit about me, I'm a 21 year old student, studying Mechanical Engineering at UWE, Bristol. I'm also part of the Officer Training Corps and hope to go on to join the Army on completetion of my degree in 2012.

Thanks all for the welcome!

Yeah I have read the books but that's not where my name came from, that's a long and ultimately boring story.

Already been picking some stuff up, been making plans for a DIY hammock stand already. I've got a few days next week in the woods, going to get some pictures and share my setup with everyone.
