This is an extended version of the monthly introductory
posting intended to aid newcomers to the newsgroup uk.rec.walking
- a Usenet forum for the discussion of topics related primarily to
walking in the British Isles. Information about walking abroad is
sometimes requested or proffered.
It is probably a good idea to lurk (read the postings)
for a couple of weeks so that you get a feel for the ambience of the
newsgroup before posting yourself. Most posters are very friendly
and you will soon spot the regulars. When you have a query, go ahead
and post it - you will almost certainly receive a helpful answer.
For general netiquette queries it is worth subscribing to (and reading!)
news.announce.newusers.
