Rudders' Ramblings

More caribou pictures

Paul — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 17:16:48 +0000

Here are some more pictures of caribou. The day after the main event Roger and I were taken down to the end of the lake so we could have a look around and see if we could see some more caribou. Just as we got there we climbed a hill and saw a massive herd [...]

We made it

Paul — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 15:01:22 +0000

So, we finally made it back from Sufferville (the local name for Schefferville and I can see why). It was a successful trip but transportation was a nightmare, full details of which will follow when I make it back to the UK. In the mean time, this is the result: Roger got the first: Roger’s [...]

How Remote?

Today we heard from our guys on their trip up North. We were glad to hear from them, because we hadn’t had any contact since Tuesday. It seems that they couldn’t dial out of the hotel they were staying at, and there wasn’t any sign of a mobile connection at all. Paul was able to [...]

One last shot…

Paul and dad have been talking about this great adventure now for ages. It’s finally here, and they all left on Monday morning, bright and early. I’ve been bugging Paul about updating this blog for ages, because it’d be nice to know a bit about the route they’re taking, the things they’ve put together to [...]

Shooting….at last.

Paul — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 20:33:21 +0000

So, after applying for membership in April, it finally came through and I got to go along to the club and start shooting. My previous experience of shooting has been in the TA shooting the SLR. This was a totally different experience. I turned up and asked for the Range Officer. Explained my situation and [...]

Where are all the Caribou???

Paul — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 21:08:33 +0000

So, a caribou may be a pretty good sized animal but Canada is enormous, especially the frozen wasteland that is Northern Canada. This thought got me wondering; when we go on the trip, how are we going to find anything? I mean, these are wild migratory creatures that are in an area that is pretty [...]

The Boots

Paul — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 19:29:14 +0000

So, we were up in Glasgow last weekend and we managed to buy me a pair of boots for the hunting trip. We didn’t mean to, at least I didn’t but the guy in Tiso was very helpful and I got a pair. We started off just going in and having a look for camping [...]

It’s been a while…

Paul — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 18:50:34 +0000

OK, so I have not posted anything for a while, I know, I’m really lazy. Nothing has happened though. The references were received and returned a couple of weeks ago but I still haven’t heard anything about going to start shooting. This week though I’m sure… In the meantime here is some information about how [...]

Not much news

Paul — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 17:18:19 +0000

Only two bits of news today. The references have been received for the gun club. Hopefully these will be returned soon and I will be off shooting soon The other bit of news, I have added a new page that will contain a list of web games. At the moment there is only one game [...]
