In reply to Tall Clare:
Retiree
Volunteer Health Walk leader
Amateur historian on the Zulu and Boer Wars, and two World Wars, doing occasional battlefield guiding on Western Front and South Africa, and researching the war service of deceased ancestors.
Currently working on family tree and history for my children and grandchildren so that it is not lost when I die, and have uncovered some interesting things I didn't know before. Eg a newspaper report of how my paternal grandfather was caught poaching and was fined 15/- ( about £72.50 in today's money) by the magistrates in 1900.
Volunteer footpath checker/reporter for Rambers - signposting in disrepair/vandalised, overgrown footpaths falling into disuse, unofficial diversions and closures, aggressive dogs, aggresive bulls (rare) and horses - (ponies can be little sods!) in fields with footpaths crossing them etc etc. Currently engaged in updating sections of the Sussex Border Path Guide.
