We were going to Barrow but even for us it’s a trek. I really enjoy that ground and the targets, not too hard or easy but each stand makes you think. Didn’t go in the end as it was just too hot to take the dog and we have no one to look after her plus she would NOT let us out the house without her whilst carrying the guns!!
We're up in Norfolk for a week's break in a cottage next to the River Bure. I abandoned my husband with the dogs and stole his car for the day, less than 60 miles from where we're staying. I don't think he minded too much, he got a days peace to spend fishing.
and was pleased not to disgrace myself with a 91, three behind HG as we left. I have been meaning to say young James Bradley-Day really deserves credit for getting this place up and running on such a relatively compact and featureless area, it really is amazing how he's managing to squeeze 12 stands into such a small place albeit it obviously has to be run in a squadded format. The shooting points are literally a few meters apart but don't let that fool you into thinking there'll be no variety or difficulty; sure he could do with a tower or platform or two but all thing considered he has my unreserved admiration, there's plenty to miss there if you get caught off guard and his experience at shooting at various venues here and abroad is easy to see. 
Well shot & we all had a little bit of unluckyness today, after the shoot..i went through a few things with James & tweaked a few traps to ease that NB issue......Nice to meet you !!Shot JBD's 100 reg ESP today in a rather capable squad which included Scott Collett and Henry Arnold
Unfortunately we did have one or two stands that produced no end of no birds but these things happen and it's more than likely due to worn rubber arms or something which will I am sure be rectified. Handing us all a box of shells and apologising for the delays was a nice touch.

that I am
Not been there, however there are other grounds that have “confused” scorers, mind you from what Ive experienced recently there are also a number of shooters that have a gap or two concerning the basic rules for English Sporting.
Wuss. Easy for you shooters, some of us slaves at Longridge were out in the full sun for over 6 hours.
Sat down quaffing cold pop
humiliating us old uns as our shooting goes down the 
at our feeble attempts to lugg around too many carts / glasses / bottles lukewarm water & guns, the odd smirk 
as another 0 goes on card, and I hear you get paid 
to do it too,

Nope. a) in the above would rule that out - no nakedness of limbs, other than lower arms or legs.So you can legally wear a 'wifebeater' then and show off those muscles.
