Bill, Spiller was a great writer of sporting literature and most all of it was drawn on his own lifetime experience in the uplands. I was however, quite disillusioned many years ago when I learned that quite a lot of his stories were fictional in nature. This is not to say these things didn't happen with him and his friends but rather, to say that there was a great deal of fiction woven into his stories simply to enhance the often ordinary day spent afield. Bearing this in mind, "Tracy's Sportsman's Lodge" may never have really existed . . . but, then again, it may have and hopefully we will find it.

Oh, and Thanks Dave
