geoffwales Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 How far are you prepared to travel ? Aiming about 10 miles, looking for a close ground when uve got time at weekend to go over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Poon Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 There's a clay ground in hightown but it only has sport trap and DTL. It's not easy to get into the grounds as its inside Altcar rifle range, long story short if your names not down you ain't coming in. I live quite close to you and I have to generally travel an hour or more to go shooting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westley Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Hey Will, glad to see you got out of the shower when you are shooting, but you will wait one hell of a long time to see the tide coming in at Southport beach ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misser Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 not wrong there.....think it did actually come in once....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancsLad45 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 I actually took a pic of the tide in at Southport once cause it was the first time in my many visits I'd ever seen it in. Pity the phone it was on got broken and I didn't ransfer the pics to PC. 40 mins from you is www.dolphinclaytargetcentre.com/ at Walmer Bridge which is between Longton and Hesketh bank. ABT, DTL and Sporting available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Potter Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 geoffwales, I know this area quite well as I was brought up in Maghull. Firstly the obligatory waste of time telling you that there USED to be a clay club at Simonswood near Kirby but that closed down donkeys years ago! (There that was helpful wasn't it?) There are a number of Sunday clayshoots in your locality. There are a couple to the west and north as mentioned above, Altcar (which I think is just within the 10 mile range) but I'd PM Will Poon to get the full SP on how to get into the place as its on MOD land. There's The Dolphin http://dolphinclaytargetcentre.com/which is about 20 miles away. When going shooting I don't think in miles I think in time and I'd say The Dolphin is about 40 mins. In the same locality is Ribble Bank Fieldsports http://www.ribblebankfieldsports.co.uk/ which again is about 45mins from Lydiate. The other nearest grounds are to the east of you, fitting then both are just off the East Lancs Road. Astley Gun Club is marginally the closest http://www.astleygunclub.co.uk/and there is another club, very close to that, on Moss Lane, Astley Green called Bolton Gun Club, don't worry its nowhere near Bolton! http://www.boltongunclub.co.uk/Clay.html. I would guess these two are about a 40/45 minute drive away. Plenty more but all over an hours drive I'd guess. Mr Potter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidawson Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 you've got prospect target club over in Warrington which is good as it is open during the week as well as weekends which is great as i work weekends and nearly everyone else only opens on a sunday lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
