 Go  regular, puts on some nice testing targets but no learners lane so to speak, be dead easy to get a bit demoralised.

Some stuff I leave thinking " how the chuff did I,do I hit that."

Only ever shot the registerd shoots, they are good testing shoots.

It different because it's in a flat field and very few clays fly straight and level, Andy always tilts the traps slightly which makes it a bit difficult to read the clay.

Nothing is out of range though, it's also busy before 12.00 and parking is limited.

Blackpool, flat with scrub and trees at distance, aged facilities and clubhouse,better welcome and  on a good day  your host is a good crack.

Coniston set in a valley,on side is open the other quote wooded, clubhouse is visually lovely, food is on but at odd hours has a tower . I would goto Coniston first IPS as it has some learner friendly targets. Hotel is nice for a bite to eat after or a shandy.
