No, i've had my eye on those fields for a while though, still havent found out who's they are! When you get bored at lunchtime, pop into Eaststaffs for a nose around and see if you wake John up when you go in the shop! He's got quite a nice gun room up there! I'll be popping in tomorrow to get some cartridges. AB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The various fields have been cut over the last couple of weeks, but the stubbles have been left giving whoever has the permission a decent chance of getting out there!! Unlike our permission, as soon as the rape/wheat is cut and the combine has left the field the discer/plough moves straight in, no chance of shooting stubbles at all Shame you can't find out whose they are, I reckon you could have some good days on there, some pretty consistant flight lines.....you would have to watch for the doves though, seems to be quite a strong population round this area. Whereabouts is Eaststaffs, not that familiar with the area as I have been seconded in!! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlistairB Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'll ask him tomorrow when i'm there, he's bound to know! If you're where i think you are, opposite the readymix concrete place, walk out to the road, look right and you'll see John Eastaff Buildbase, the gun shop is above it to the left. If you go, walk past the main door to the builders merchant and there's another smaller door, go through, upstairs and hey presto, you're there! http://www.johneastaff.com/ AB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right on my door step and I never even knew, shows how much attention I have beenhat aren paying and yet I can pick out flight lines over fields that aren't even mine I might well have to have a ganders in there soon when I feel a bit more flush!! Good luck with finding out who the fields belong to and perhaps one day I might be watching you have a Red Letter day from the office window Cheers Blackla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
