It has been a long journey and a few years since my last post. I am now an instructor with Shadowhawk Tracking School and have continued to progress with my journey as a tracker. I decided to revamp my old blog which was named Stalk like an Apache and change it to something more descriptive to the purpose of this blog which is the journal of a Scottish Tracker.


This has been a long and hard journey and I could not have made it without the help of Ian Max Maxwell who has trained me as well as the other Instructors , mentors and students at Shadowhawk. Many of whom I consider to be close and personal friends. They are a real fellowship of like minded and like purposed people.


Many of my next posts will be retrospective bringing you up to this present point from my last posts in 2006.

One recent and upcoming event that I will mention is my being on TV fairly soon. I will be on TV with James May and Oz Clarke along with the Shadowhawk Hunter Force Tracking team. We will be on Manlab 2 in the episode called Prison Break. This is scheduled as far as I am aware for The end of October.

Here I am below in a pic with James and Oz and in another with the Shadowhawk HunterForce tracking team.






I would also like to thank Andrew from Bushwear in Perth for sponsorship of equipment which I used throughout the show. The waterproof socks were great in the boggy places and the Jacket was removed after the sun came out as it was a very warm day. I look forwards to getting more wear from it as the nights draw in.

I love my Pygmy Falcon. The size stops me carrying too much kit as when tracking I like to move fast if the situation requires it. It is very robust and also does not look out of place in an urban enviroment.

If you go to that other blog and go to the about us page, you will see me there.
