Tracking Footsteps Course 

For me, being unable to track is like going to a foreign library where you can see the books, look at the pictures and words but not understand any of it.

This one day 'taster' tracking course is aimed at those who want to give tracking a go but are limited on time. It is a brief introduction to some of the skills and techniques used by trackers and all that is needed is an open mind and a willingness to learn. So, whether you are interested in wildlife tracking or even mantracking, this one day tracking course will give a head start in those tracking skills and will make a walk in the woods that much more interesting!

The course is taught by Jonathan Simons who writes about tracking in the national magazine, Bushcraft and Survival SKills making it remarkable value for money.

Tracking Course Agenda

Learn why tracking is still relevant today.

Discover how to tell the difference between some of the more common tracks including the confusion between fox and dog.

Learn and practice a stalking technique that will help you get closer to wildlife or creeping up on a friend!

Find out the importance of peripheral vision and how it can help your tracking as well as for seeing more wildlife.

Get some top tips on clothing and equipment that will heighten your enjoyment of the outdoors.

Learn how to use light to your best advantage and see more tracks!

Discover some of the best places to look for tracks and why they can be so productive.

Experience the powerful ‘zone-in’ technique that will start to tune you into nature’s baseline. You will experience heightened senses and awareness – essential for becoming a great tracker. This in itself could change your life!

Anyone can become a tracker. A bold statement but one that I think is true. You don't need to have special chemicals in your eyes, or have superpowers (as nice as that would be!), or come from a long line of native trackers, in order to be a tracker. By the end of the tracking course you'll have to agree when we say "everyone is already a tracker, they just don't know it yet".
