Dunkield Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Having been very aprehensive about a holiday in England (especially on the Norfolk Broads) I was pleasantly surprised by what a nice part of the country it is, when we got away from the madding crowds. Loads of wildlife, we saw a few Kingfishers, 2 Barn Owls, 3 Chinese Water Deer and an unidentified hawk, not a buzzard so most likely a Marsh Harrier(?) I only had my **** bino's with me as I wasn't expecting to see so much wildlife. Obviously couldn't take the shooters along with us but caught plenty of fish and a couple of eels :< Anyone else had a good holiday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Not sure if this will work or not, but here is the view we woke up to on a morning with good weather! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v130/sha...ng/HPIM0406.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabit Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 looks very nice m8.... i have been on holyday this year but i know i will next year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno 357 Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Personally I would never go on holiday in the UK for what I say to be a family holiday. Rip off Britain with the greedy hoteliers charging extortionate rates This year I went to Bulgaria for 2 weeks. I was the first time I have been there, myself and the rest of the family enjoyed ourselves Next year is a little bit different as we all know it’s the FIFA Word Cup in Germany so it is my duty as an English man to attend the some of England’s football matches in the first round 9th June to 23rd June Not knowing who is in what group we will be based at Gelsenkirchen home of FC Schalke 04 and travelling from there Any Taffs getting ideas they are going to turn us over on Saturday ! Dream on. They’re got more chance Miss Church staying in on a Saturday night Jonno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunganick Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Went to sunny Dorset this year, did a bit of stalking....just not a whole lot of shooting , watched billions of pigeons take the ****...then found out there was a PW member with in bike riding distance of where i was staying In just over a month im off to Italy to walk up some volcanoes.....so that should be a laugh, although i think hunting pigs with knives sounds like more fun Have a good one LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ochre Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Spent 5 days in Verbier in Switzerland - which was amazingly beautiful. In October, Marco and I are off to Italy to shoot boar in the mountains. Can't wait. I think boar with knives might be too much for me... have you seen a boar?!! They're kinda big, tusky and can weigh up to 400 lbs. I'll take a shotgun/rifle over a knife any day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
