damned inconsiderate if you ask me

Yes, sorry I haven't been in touch...having a bit of a hard week after my granny died. Definitely still on, will pm the location now.
Bikething I'm sure we will do it again - see you next time, enjoy the party!

Sorry to hear of your loss Rhoda, my thoughts are with you.
ref the tracking day, what is the rough timetable regarding start / lunch / finish times?
I'm only an hour up the road so I may be able to make it for at least part of the day..

Thanks, she made it to 94 but somehow it was still a shock!
We are just going to head down of the path through the woods into the river and walk along the river (mostly wading down the river itself). We will clamber out for lunch at some point, maybe explore the banks a little and if we find a good trail we may wander off into the woods as well. Then we will turn around and wade back the way we came to find all the things we missed on the way there!
I thought it might be nice to finish the day with a drink at the pub in the village.
No set schedule as such, it is very difficult to predict what we will find, we might not get very far if there are loads of tracks to study! I will PM you the location and my mobile number so if you decide to come along you can call to find out where we are.
We are meeting at 11am in the car park, lunch at 1ish and finish by 4pm (then you will find us at the pub!!)

Hello Rhoda and Angie
I'm Rob by the way my posting name comes the gaelic Mac Aoid which is anglised as Mckay and translates to son of fire.
Rhoda I'm sorry to here that you lost your gran recently.
Could I have better directions to where your all meeting for the river tracking or are you meeting at the address you sent me?
I was going to go wading in my swimming shorts and sandles but seeing though bear knights (Angie?) has some spare waders, it might save you all from my hairy legs.
I'm not sure what measurements you need, but my leg height is 30 inch and the girth of my upper thigh is 23 inch but I'll bring my shorts along as well.
Thanks

Hi Rhoda,
Looks like I'll be home this weekend, so I'd like to come too, please - provided you've no objection to chest waders (last otter trip didn't like 'em and regard them as death traps, but I been using them for 25 years and haven't drowned once!).

Foot size is 9 or 10 does the job. Can't belive I missed out something as obvous as foot size. So do I meet you on Tredour rd I haven't been given any other address?
Well I have just returned from Rhoda's little bimble and would like to thank her and Angie for a most enlightening foray into the undergrowth and waterways. It was a revelation for me as Otter scats were in abundance, by the way I still can't get rid of the smell it does seem to linger in ones olfactory system for quite a while, where I thought they were in the decline I now know this to be false and they are actually on the increase.
It was also magical to meet some of the names from BcUK, great to see you guys the pleasure was all mine, hopefully we can do it again soon.
You can probably guess what it was I forgot to take with me, yes it was the camera.
Rhoda and Angie :You_Rock_
