docholiday Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) Invited over to the Isle of whight for a bit of pigeon shooting on friday, forcast was iffy but always have a good day over there so looked on the web for crossings and got very peed off, car plus one lymington yarmouth lymington £78 !!!!!!! just because its the school holidays. found going southampton cowes southampton was £36 bit more driving but that was it. arrived and we drove around several farms before setting up in a corner of a field next to sandown airport, (grass strip!) great day 74 birds in 4 hours. we also had a few rooks as you can see. I cant understand why the shooting is so good over there, its only a couple of miles from me and has much better no's of birds, it is also shot heavily. anyway after a bite to eat it was home on the ferry and a very enjoyable day cheers doc Edited August 17, 2010 by docholiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
