Re: Outdoor skills
I've always been a city boy but as I've got older I'm always drawn to the woods either riding or dog walking so the idea of adventure just really appeals and the use of a bike as a tool to carry stuff and take me places is great

Most of my pals are similar,some more skills than others but it's vaguely exciting learning to cope outside ,read maps ...
