Fall - A great time of the year in Canada !

'The bushveld is a place where the human element indeed shrinks into utter insignificance, and grips you and subdues you and makes you one with yourself' - Jan Smuts

'When one tugs at a single living thing in nature one finds it attached to the rest of the world' John Muir (Maybe not an exact quote!)

The Backpacking Team, South America, 2008, Heather and Tim

For six months of 2008, Heather and I backpacked through South America. With no fixed itinerary, and a determination to take our time, we kept our travels to within Peru, Bolivia, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile.

Anaethetised Lion, Madikwe Game Reserve

For most of 2004, I took time out from my "normal" career to train and work as a field guide or game ranger in the big five reserves of South Africa as part of my lifetime interest in conservation and wildlife. I am currently living and working in Ontario, Canada and so get to experience and learn about a very different wilderness environment.
