Fantastic write up, very informative. It’s nice to see an honest insight into an ancient art rather than a modern interpretation.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks for posting the link woodlore. What a great article with some fantastic insight into tracking and Ray’s open views on the principles and humility required. It’s encouraging to know that even those we look up to are still learning and are open to say as such.
Thanks again
