Are there any British folk resident in upstate NY?...downstate NY works too, I cannot be the only one around here.. even though it feels like it.

Blaze does, she lives a few miles east of Syracuse.....but she hasn't posted for a while.

I think that Patrick Hasler and Rushman live somewhere upstate too.

My best friend's boyfriend has a house in Hunter Mountain (Jewett) with a creek, which he uses as a weekender (his big plan is to rent it out but he's charging a fortune so he rarely seems to get any tenants LOL!) and we're often invited up there....shame that he's a prat though....

Do you live anywhere near the Catskills or do you live nearer to the Adirondack mountain range, Lake George etc.?

Where are you. I go upstate every month or so for the day from Manhattan as lots of us do.

K2JLX

Wurtsboro, Sullivan County.. up the Rt 17/ I-86 corridor, 70 odd miles north west of Manhattan.

K2JLX

I am actually as far south of the Catskills as you can get before its collectively referred to as the Hudson valley.

Rushman

70 miles noth of Manhattan....Upstate????? Have you ever looked at a map of NY?

K2JLX

Yup, and its called upstate around these parts. I know what your saying though, but as soon as you get out of Rockland county into Orange and north its a shift.

Rushman

Anything south of Albany is considered 'civilisation" from up here.

veronica jayne

Yikes, where are you?

Rushman

2 hours north of Albany and 90 minutes south of Montreal. In the sticks with just pat hasler for company.....and he's never home.

veronica jayne

Wurtsboro is 43 miles from where I go! Maybe where I go is not as upstate as I thought

Rushman

Its a 6 hour drive from here to NYC...so I guess you could say you can't get much more Upstate than me.

Years ago a friend (lost touch with) had a huge rambling house on 100 acres near Albany, had a funny name, I should pull a map up and look. It was lovely but very remote. We would hear people shooting the deer in their woods but by the time we got there it would be too late!

veronica jayne

I am remembering something that sounded like Rentlersville but is has a weired spelling!!!

Rushman

I live here.
