Elen sÃla lúmenn' omentielvo.
I am Mithdir, eighteen years old, living in Catalonia. I fell in love with Tolkien's works ten years ago when my mother lent me her copy of The Hobbit, and my interest for them has only been growing since. I also love Peter Jackson's trilogy, and a couple of years ago I started getting interested in the clothing and gear worn and used by the characters in it. Looking for online resources and inspiration for my kit I came upon this forum, and seeing that you share my passion and attention to detail I decided to register.
Thank you for accepting me in your ranks, and may the wind under your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks.

Welcome

Re: Introduction
Welcome! What part of CA? I was born and raised in LA county, and lived and worked in and around Napa, Solano, Placer, and San Diego counties for a number of years before I moved out east. We have one forum member up near Chico, Druin, and another, Kortoso, in the Bay Area. I'd say you're in good company!
Now the sword shall come from under the cloak.

Oh it’s not California, but Catalonia, in southern Europe. I myself live near Barcelona.Greg wrote:Welcome! What part of CA?

I do know Kortoso though, and have been following his YouTube channel for some time now.

Welcome Guillem!
You must have some interesting places to explore in Catalonia - anywhere you particularly like, out of curiosity?

There are no safe paths in this part of the world. Remember you are over the Edge of the Wild now, and in for all sorts of fun wherever you go.

Re: Introduction
I really like the whole length of Costa Brava, all pebble beaches and pine-clad cliffs... But I think the place I have explored that felt the most like Middle-earth is the national park of Aigüestortes. I went there for the last time two years ago. Here are a couple of pictures I took then:Elleth wrote:Welcome Guillem!

Oh..... that's lovely.
Also, you'd love the Sierras.

Indeed, it’s inevitable to feel like a ranger while roaming those paths burdened by a heavy pack and with the wind in your face...
