Hi everyone... Haven't been on for years so thought I'd best say hi again.

Just thought some of you might be interested to see the process of medicinal tattooing by the Ju/'Hoansi San in Namibia. Video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msUlKpxiWDo The process involves cutting a series of incisions into the skin with an arrowhead, rubbing in the crushed root of...

We are running a student course this weekend so I have been out in the woods today and I have had the nicest day. Spring really does seem to be here and the woods look magical. Bluebells are coming up, daffodils are in bloom, the birds are singing and the sun was shining. There are loads of...

Just thought I'd share with you how generous and thoughtful Galemys has been (sorry if I embarress you!). I posted a comment on another thread expressing an interest in the film 'The Great Dance.' Just after I posted I had a PM from Galemys requesting my address as he was sending me a dvd of the...

Happy New Year from all at Worldwild! We have met some wonderful people and made some very good friends through this forum. Thanks to Tony and all the mods and members for being so supportive. May the New Year bring health, happiness and prosperity to all.... With warmest wishes, Rhoda...

While on our river tracking bimble we came across this otter spraint full of fish eggs. I have never seen this before and am wondering how the eggs got through the digestive process unharmed...any ideas?? More (and better!) photos here

Well we took the plunge and finally got ourselves a new puppy. His name is Bailey and he is looking like he will be fantastic addition to the family. He is very intelligent, eager to please and great with my little boy. Couldn't be happier, thanks so much to Spaniel Man who we got him from!

We went for a wander in the woods where we hold some of our courses yesterday and came across loads of fungi. I am not brilliant at fungi ID so there are a few that we couldn't be 100% sure of. Any ideas would be gratefully received! :) Pics at...

Anyone fancy a day tracking along a river looking for otter, mink, badger, fox, deer.... We are going for a little wade along a river near Newquay on 25th October and would be more than happy for anyone to come along if you are interested. Just need to turn up with some waders (or wetsuit, or...

Ok ok I know there are better things to do but I'm stuck at home today and found this site www.yearbookyourself.com Utterly childish but I haven't stopped laughing for about an hour! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Have a brilliant birthday Tone, you deserve it! :You_Rock_

I know that this seems very far away for most of you but I came across this article and I am seriously concerned. Please read the following and if you feel the same way I do maybe a bit of international weight could make a difference. Please either contact EHRA through their website or email...

I have just hurt myself in the most ridiculous way. :o Out in the garden practicing handstands (don't ask) and I fell onto the side of my face and pulled something in my neck. There was such an ominous crack I though I'd really done something serious. Drove myself off to A&E to make sure and got...

Hi everyone, As well as running the tracking workshops on the Saturday I wondered if anyone would be interested in doing some yoga with me. I will be doing my own practice while I am there and would happily turn it into a class or two if there was any interest. I am planning to do a bit of...

I've noticed that hardly anyone has been posting about tracking lately. Surely there must be lots of you out and about tracking, especially at this time of year. Come on you lot what have you been up to and what have you seen or found lately? :D

I'm in the market for a new jacket (preferably ventile) and am having real trouble finding what I want. I am slim (size 8) and I'm drowned by most mens jackets even size small. I'm too tall for kids clothes though (5'7) Any ideas where I can get one to fit? I don't mind if its not cut for a...

Anyone know where I can get hold of a decent spokeshave?

I was on a walk with a friend the other day through an area of woodland which is very beautiful but over-run with people and dogs. I have never seen deer there in 20 years of walking and we were actually just enjoying the spring flowers. Then I spotted a deer track in a patch of mud...

Just picked a whole load of nettles to make soup. I usually do a leek and potato type soup, substituting nettles for the leeks. Anyone got a more inventive/exciting idea?

The Chyan community field near Penryn in Cornwall are holding a wild food and tracking day on 26th April. Wild food expert Rachel Lambert will be leading a morning walk and then I'll be doing an afternoon of tracking. Directions to the site are here I'm not sure of the cost but if you are...
