Leon-1 your statement earlier in the thread has got me quite confused.
It is about advertising commercial sites, I get the impression that advertising commercial sites on the forum is not allowed yet yesterday at 13:18 hours you posted the following which strikes me as blatant advertising . It has become obvious many of the Mods are actively promoting Bushcraft Expeditions which is a double standard according to the rules you have quoted, or have I missed something.
In my humble opinion I think that some people on here are taking BES as a major threat and that is what it will be if you dont calm down and get on together, if you dont people will start voting with there feet and start logging off BCUK for good.
Adi, I mentioned that course because I have tracked with Woody, earlier I also mentioned that I would also recommend courses with shadowhawk, the reason being I have done courses with Max and the Shadowhawk crew as well.
I have also done basic tracking in the military, but they are not courses that would be accesible to most on here, I cannot recommend them because you cannot do them, but they do give me something to make a measure against.

I can and will recommend either of these 2 as schools because I have seen the product and know what you will get for your investment.
This is not favouritism, it is me saying that both of these schools run good courses on the strength that I have done courses with them, that I have paid for as anyone else on the forum would of paid.
I also believe that a longer course will give more ground time and continuity to anyone learning tracking, so me saying "Have a look at this for these reasons" is once again my opinion and me trying to be helpfull.
Remember I am a member on here just like anyone else and if I can help in anyway possible even with a suggestion then I will.
Since someone else has mentioned that there was an e-mail circulated about Bushcraft expeditions, you may well of noticed that at least 2 of the members of the forum actually got something out of it. It was an offer proposed to BCUK members by Bushcraft Expeditions as a competition
As far as pushing Bushcraft Expeditions is concerned I believe that to be a totally unfair statement, if that was the case I or any other mod would of been booted by Tony as we have more rules to apply to ourselves than any other members on here and to be honest I am quite offended by the insinuation.
I would of posted this earlier (1938hrs), but my adsl link went down as I was typing so I couldn't, but this thread has left me wondering why I bother.
