OK have changed the name to one that is more fitting.

An Archer without a home, all the club's I was in have moved away, leaving me with no home..

One seemed to be a group of people that were not really interested in archery,and more in controlling People.
Which was fine as long as you didn't get too interested and only wanted to shoot inside, even though they called themselves Field Archers ??

Another club was a City Club, sixty miles South, (70 miles to the Archery Course) who moved 10 miles further away when they lost the Wood they were using.
Trying to get information is impossible it seems, even though they took your money you were still very much on the outside.

Another club has a Field course which seems to be run by one member, even though you are told "It's your Club".
That's fine until you try to change something, then it becomes a closed shop with a tight inner circle and it's made quite clear all is not as it seems.

another club seems rather strange as it seems to be also run by the same person who runs the two clubs above, another case of "It's your Club", then two of us decided we needed more Clout practice and was told the quite firmly that the club didn't do Clout.
It seems the Club meets 4 times a year, plus a practice day the week before the Clout Meeting they put on??
But they do not approve of you practicing any other time ?? very strange.

so the saga of the Itinerant Archer begins ""

Slow Adventure

Well the next adventure took a while.

The Leg is the same but life goes on.

I now do Archery and am in several clubs.

I've gone from Recurve to Horsebow to American Longbow (Flatbow) and now concentrate on the English Longbow which I use for every form of Archery.

Which leaves the others gathing dust..

Down, but not out

Well it's flown by once again.
I have a problem with my leg ??
It keeps swelling up and they are not sure why yet.
I've been to three hospitals in the last three weeks.
Ultrasound scans, A consultant having a pokey, then 50 miles up the road for a Biopsy .
It seems I have a couple of lumps at the top of my leg .
First it's a blood clot, then it's an enlarged lymph node that can be sorted with antibiotics.
Then my own doctor decides she is not happy and wants to know more, so it's up the road for the biopsy.
I'd feel fine if it wasn't for the hole in my leg, it still swells up but not like it used to.
Now waiting for results.
No Cycling, No Walking, lots of sitting with my leg up, and lots of plans are being made for the next adventure.

July ??

July already time flies .

Must download the pictures off the camera and update this Blog.

Weather has been hot too hot for me.

But I'm still Cycling, Fishing and Packrafting.

Went to a Barn Dance last night, not really my thing but it was in my neighbour's Barn and as I got the job of putting up the lights and balloons I had to show my face .

I cycled to Cinn Trolla Broch the other day it's just up the road and even though I have passed it many times, I've never stopped to look at it as there is nowhere to park .
It was a lot bigger and more interesting than I thought it would be as there are several buildings around it.
Once again the Camera on the phone worked well, but the Sun was low and in completely the wrong place to get the pictures I wanted.
