Re: Some Idle Dreaming

You nailed it Greg. Those are my feelings exactly. Last week I was sitting in a quaint English tea room somewhere in Cumbria, sipping a ginger beer; sitting in a corner by a fireplace. The ceiling was too low for me to stand up and not whack my head on one of the massive writhed oak beams. The windo...

Re: The fickleness of Archery

I had the same problem with glasses. As soon as I got contact lenses, BOOM. Archery felt like a different sport. Just make sure your form is consistent. One of the ways I have done this on my own is to film myself with a video camera doing multiple sets, even on different days, and then reviewing an...

Re: Who's up for a wiki?

That's a great idea Manveruon. Just a question that was on my mind was... how much of the wiki will be devoted to 'other rangers' (i.e. Araluen, Emberverse)? How much is this forum (and consequentially the wiki), devoted to Middle-Earth rangers, like its title? Just wondering, no hard feelings fans ...

Re: The Co. of the Green Dragon

Let me let you all know I do just perhaps happen to be the closest ranger to the Company if such a thing were to occur! :mrgreen:

Re: Member Map

Great work on the map! Talk about isolation Addreonynn. Haven't seen Elegost around these boards for a long time, and am seemingly the only ranger across the pond :cry: Now that we've moved I'm looking hard into medieval re-enactment groups here, as any sort of real contact with like-minded individu...

Re: ReIntroduction

Hey woodworking is very much a ranger-related skill!

And you don't need to be an expert in your field to share your plans, etc. The majority of us here are far from experts but that doesn't stop us!!

Re: Who's up for a wiki?

You're doing a great job people!! The wiki looks fantastic!

Um... did anyone archive some of the pages from Andy's original site? If someone still has them, perhaps some of them could be put on the wiki?

Re: The Co. of the Green Dragon

This is so great!!!

I had fallen into the illusion that we were some of the only ones of our kind but obviously not!

A fine new friend

Hooray!! So yesterday we picked up Pippin from the rescue centre. He's an 18 month Kelpie Collie cross, and is absolutely beautiful. I've got some photos of him here, but none of them can really do him justice! His coat is really interesting (though not that obvious from the photos). He's mainly gre...

Re: Getting a dog?

I guess! Anyhow exciting news, today I went to see a Kelpie + Collie cross. Really handsome male, 18 months. He's healthy and in fit condition, only partially house trained but I can work on that. So far seems ok around strangers (very friendly with us first time we saw him, and loves affection), an...

Re: Getting a dog?

Oh yes, by the way forgot to add I am willing to run with the dog daily, so I am happy to deal with a higher-energy dog.

Re: Getting a dog?

Thanks so much for all the advice guys, awesome link Chris. So it's looking like the best option might be a (young, male?) border collie or a malamute ? I've been looking around at the rescue centres in our area, and while there aren't a lot of pure-breds, there are a few cross-breeds that might wor...
