I am sure you will succeed it just takes time. People too are wary of taking people to their "private access only" spots ie private land. Trust is something that has all but disappeared.


Good luck

Thanks mikee, Sounds like a hunt course is the way to go, maybe i was just being to stubborn wanting to earn the first one myself.
I can totally understand the lack of trust these days and most people hve worked bloody hard to get the access they have got so completely understandable
