Frenchieboy Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) Typical isn't it! It's a long Bank Holiday Week-End and it looks like being a total washout! I got up early to go out and try to decoy a few crows. The weather was windy and drizzly but I could see a few lighter patches in the sky so I decided to take a drive up to the farm. When I got there I didn't even bother getting out of the motor. The field I intended to shoot had been sown recently as part of a "Land Reclamation Scheme" and I had had a resaonable morning on it at the beginning of the week but when I got there it was covered with large deep puddles and all that was there was two mallards paddling about. I sat in the motor for an hour or so waiting to see if the rain would stop, which it did for a couple of minutes, but the high winds just brought another downpour in. I only saw three or four birds fly over and they had the wind in their tails and were going so fast they would have made an RAF jet fighter look slow. I hope that this isn't going to be the general pattern for the Jubilee Week-End or it is going to be a great dissappointment for many people! What have you guys got planned for the Bank Holiday that the appauling weather is going to effect? I've got some friends from our gun club coming tomorrow to spend a morning with the centre fires up at the quarries but it looks like they had better bring a pair of waders each to wear! Oh well, that's my winge for the day, I had better get get back to letching over these fit female celebrities (Lisa Dingle and Ann Widicombe included) just the same as many of you other letches members seem to spend your day doing on here!

-oXo- Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 TV said Monday should be clear here then getting warmer again. It is not raining just overcast atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) I do hope that you are right oXo mate. I agree that after looking at the BBC Weather Forecast it says that it is going to clear up for tomorrow, but our little part of Lancashire very rarely conforms to the general forecasts. - I'm sure that we have a weather systen all of our very own! If you have "reasonable" weather with you at the moment get out and enjoy it because it is effin terible right now where I am! Edit: Oops, sorry mods, am I allowed to say "effin" without it getting me into trouble? Edited June 3, 2012 by Frenchieboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asa Bear Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 It's rained all night here. It stopped @0740 so I took the dog out and it promptly started again! Soaked.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 At the moment Dave it's not so much the rain, that has all but stopped. It is this constant bitterly cold wind now. If that drops I will het out for a shot as I left all the gear in the motor just taking the shotgun in with me when I got home. We can but hope!

davecooper1 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Still raining here Pete, bloody windy aswell, was going to go shooting myself, and have a few shots with a new gun what we got yesterday, but that will have to wait till tomorrow now.

Frenchieboy Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 What new gun have you got now Dave? You will have to come up to the quarries with us for a "shot" sometime, the lads are a great bunch but don't take me up on this offer unless you can handle loads of banter, cos there's always plenty flying about! - And bacon butties of course, the wife will not let any of us go up there till we have eaten all of the bacon butties she cooks up each time we meet! We even shoot clays up there now that I have my own trap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecooper1 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Yes Pete, will have a ride over in the future, and thanks for the invite, Im allways up for meeting new members and having the crack, was working down your way last week. The gun was a Yildiz side by side, but it was my brother what got it, cracking gun mate, for not a fortune money wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ack-ack Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Looks like a day sorting out the man cave. May well go and dig some Razor later if it stays calm enough. There's not a breath of wind at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav912 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 I'm going to be very unpopular here as I'm actually pleased that its raining. If it was dry I would have been going in and out of work moving irrigation equipment about in potato fields at various times of the day while everyone else enjoyed their time off.

Fisheruk Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) Well I am looking forward to tomorrow. With all this rain it will be quiet underfoot. The forecast is to clear overnight so 5.00am and I'll be out. Still need the waterproofs for lying down under bushes. Bring it on.
