Title: Hello from Larne
Post by: billy backpack on July 29, 2009

Hi All, have been viewing the forum for some time now and have eventually got round to registering.
My outdoor interests are mainly walking, camping and kayaking, however, well up for all related activities.
Have a 10 year old son who is mad keen to meet others of a similar age with similar interests.
Looking forward to interacting via this forum and perhaps attending an outing.
Andrew

Thanks for making me feel welcome, sounds like Co Antrim is well represented here and it shouldn't be too hard to get organised for some outings.

Hah my 10 year old takes a while to get started, say most of the journey.

Seems to like to gurn and moan, complains about everything, then all of a sudden all changes he's off can't slow him down, wants to race you to the top.

The 12 year old is into football and fairly fit so he just walks on ahead.

But they do enjoy it. ;D
