Many thanks foxy, as I said I don't want specifics as that would be breaking a trust, but what you posted was pretty much all that was required. I don't need journeys of personal discovery now, I have far too much happening in my life, but maybe later.
For the moment I will keep the self tutelage going untill I get stuck with something and then look at a course (apart from tracking as this is one aspect of bushcraft which has become almost an obsession). All the best andhave a nice day
