Hello from the Lammermuirs!

Hi all - I live on a grouse moor in the beautiful Lammermuir Hills in Scotland - my husband is head shepherd on the estate. I have always been interested in British Wildlife - especially mammals, and am becoming more and more interested in raptors since living in my current home and seeing different BOP on a regular basis.

I try to get up to the NW Highlands on a regular basis to walk, as well as wildlife spot - and I have never been disappointed on either counts. With a bit of luck and planning, I hope to move the family to Ardnamurchan some time in the future.

My other interests include dogs (we have sheepdogs and German shepherds), photography and reading.

The only small problem I have with the forum is that I only seem to be able to view it when I have access to broadband (I am at my sister's house in North Lancashire at the moment for a visit). Our home is in a rural/remote location and we don't have access to broadband (or even a mobile phone signal!) so unfortunately am on dial up. Does anyone know why this forum won't load on dial up? I will be most disappointed if I can't get on again when I get home.

Thanks.

Kirsty

Hi Kirsty, welcome to WAB.

A quick search suggests that other dial-up users have not had problems. E.g.:

http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/fo...-problems.html

Is WAB the only site you have had trouble with?

Thanks Hedge.

The problem I have at home is that the whole site won't come up for me - I haven't even tried to upload any pics yet! Does anyone else have problems with the site loading?

Thanks.

Kirsty
