Well it seems as though there are many of my friends (?) already here, so who am I? I am 'Oppy aka Peter, a renowned quaffer of red biddy and all round eejit, but kinda cute with it. 70 years old, married (sorry girls) to the lovely Sue and the proud owner of a 1997 Lunar Roadstar and a permanent thorn in caravanannies side

Welcome Peter... yes there are many people here from across many forums - it's always the same suspects! Good choice of profile pic. That was me and ZeeZee at Coniston Water in 2011. I think it was -20 that night. One of the coldest nights in the UK in recent times. Look forward to seeing you around or on one of our meet ups

Hi, Thanks for the welcome, yes It was a surprise to see the numbers of miscreants from the wildside popping up on here, but it was a pleasant one.
Ah yes, the profile pic. I did try several times to upload one of my own, but to no avail, too big apparently!! We are off to Spain, Portugal and France for 2 or 3 months on the 26th, so my postings probably won't start until the spring

Not just the wildside, there seem to be an ever increasing number of forums and groups on Facebook etc As for avatars, there are number of sites which will resize your pic on upload, and then give you a link for it to use in the uploaded/linked part of the avatar et up. Here's one I use quite a bit: postimage.org/

Welcome Oppy, shame you're not going to the Bugsworth meet. I was going to buy you a glass of wine, I think!
