It is about time I introduced myself. Tracking is what floats my boat. I am obsessed with tracking. bushcraft is there for me to supplement my tracking, rather than the other way round. I live in Dunoon in Argyll, the gate way by ferry to the west highlands of Scotland. Married with three dogs, two collie crosses and a 8 stone 16 month old Russian Black Terrier with a front paw track of over 10 cm. Big Lenny the dog is well known in Shadowhawk . Other things that float my boat are open canoeing and finally as i have a class about to enter the room. I have two dreams i would love to fulfill, 1 to live in a tipii for a full year and 2 to do at least a month long camel treck.

Welcome my friend and may your journey here be long and fruitful.
Welcome to BCUK HTN.
Big dog is Lenny, are you sure that someone hasn't sold you a wolf by mistake:D (tracks about the right size).

How's it going Hawkeye :) ,
You may not get much local reponse today as nigh on everyone's packed up and on their way up to the trossachs. I must be the last chump left in the office and it's been a looong morning.
Tracking is something I've only recently starting learning. A friend has a fair grasp of it and points things out as we're roving. It's fascinating stuff.
Welcome La Longue Carabine. Enjoy the site.
Like Groovski I am stuck at work prior to shooting off to the Scottish meet.
Maybe you could come to the next one? Lots of folk want to learn tracking.
Welcome and pull up a log,
I'm one of the unlucky sods who has had to pull out of this weekends meetup.
This is a great forum full of friendly and knowledgable members and there's always room for more, looking forward to any input on your tracking skills.
Cheers

Hi Hawkeye, welcome aboard mate
Hello,
Welcome to the virtual campfire. :) The natives are good company I've found. :cool:
Hope you can make the next meet up; my tracking skills are pretty pathetic and I'd really appreciate being taught to actually be aware of what I'm looking at.
Sort of, " looking with my eyes open " :rolleyes:
Cheers,
Toddy
A warm welcome to you mate. Hope you enjoy the forums :D
