I guess really, it's always been connected to my love for the outdoors, when I used to get out pre-accident, I always made sure I took photos, and will continue to do so.Peak Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645316221553542322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823921419241429099.post-49899296358778971942020-09-15T10:45:33.194-07:002020-09-15T10:45:33.194-07:00Lovely to know that, in spite of everything, you&#...Lovely to know that, in spite of everything, you're managing to get out.<br />You've certainly got a grip of this photography malarkey - what excellent results.John Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07569413172924501491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823921419241429099.post-62200854152816784322020-05-05T00:21:16.962-07:002020-05-05T00:21:16.962-07:00You're welcome Anthony, and thank you for taki...You're welcome Anthony, and thank you for taking the time to read and comment.<br />The important thing for me through this is to raise awareness, something which today is still very thin on the ground, unless, you read outdoor walking and mountaineering mags, Many nature magazines do not carry much, if any, information regarding ticks, Lyme disease and other associated issues.<br />ATBPeak Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645316221553542322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823921419241429099.post-19261272840834115762020-05-04T15:04:17.111-07:002020-05-04T15:04:17.111-07:00Thank you for sharing your story here.

Unfortunately it doesn't retail in smaller packs. As I'll never use 250 sheets, I figured I'd sell the rest on eBay for £15/10 sheets +P&P (£4.45). Just do a search on eBay for Toughprint A3. If it keeps selling I may well keep buying it.<br /><br />Or, if anyone contacts me directly at nigelwilkins@btinternet.com I can offer it for £13.50/10 sheets +P&P (£4.00) (saving eBay fees).<br /><br />Thanks, Nigel<br />www.nigelwilkinsphotography.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003780183698169425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823921419241429099.post-59064484601254055692016-04-11T13:06:59.730-07:002016-04-11T13:06:59.730-07:00Thank you Kyle for taking the time to read and com...Thank you Kyle for taking the time to read and comment.<br />Please do use this in the newsletter, providing the credit stays with myself, the author.<br /><br />If it's an online newsletter, send me the link and I'd be happy to share the link on social media.<br /><br />I do follow the @RamblersGB on Twitter, so I would be happy to share.<br />PRPeak Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645316221553542322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823921419241429099.post-32152676499692538702016-04-11T06:19:12.703-07:002016-04-11T06:19:12.703-07:00Hi Peak Rambler, nice blog post! would you mind if...Hi Peak Rambler, nice blog post! would you mind if we used this as an independent review of Toughprint in the Ramblers Membership newsletter?
