back in the 80's we had around 20,000 acres of stalking in Craik forest, for only £600 pa,,,however, of course prices went up and up, so in the end we gave it up and a German syndicate took over at around £2K pa, which I'm sure is now more in the region of £10K pa, god knows!..
nevertheless, I was just looking on google earth and reminiscing of the great stalking that once was, near Craik and Ettrick, and wondered if those forests are all owned by FC now or if there's still some private stalking to be obtained here and there at acceptable rates.
anyone live/stalk around there from the forum?
