    Woody Girl. I think you have raised an interesting point for a debate, too many courses are only available to fit people, and as a few has pointed out who wants someone that holds everyone back, in that context I would hate to think what would happen if someone who was fit got injured, would...

    What would a modern scouts be like?

    If its all inclusive, it would not be fair to award merits, when some of the clan would be unable to gain them, let's say mountaineering, ok for most, but not for somebody paralysed. This is why they have 2 sets of Olympics, Invictus Games, everyone competing on a level playing field. I know...

    Cycles within Cycles, wheels within wheels...

    The question may be, are the cycles natural, when I was at school, many many years ago, we learnt about trade winds, and how they controlled the weather patterns etc, we learnt about farming, fallow fields, laybacks etc, and everything seemed to be organised , now we have acres and acres filled...
