ratty1 Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 good evening all im heading up north on a family holiday in feb. and i cant go all the way up there and not go for a flight. i wont have a dog with me so i cant go venturing alone. so is there anyone on here that i could meet up with for a flight on either the 5/6 or 7th of feb. im staying in the cairngourns for that time so im able to drive north or south to most of the major estuarys . i will of course buy breakfast or dinner (and a bottle of the good stuff)or if you end up in devon at sometime , i can offer roe stalking or wildfowling in return . i did this a few years ago with big bad lindz off of here and enjoyed a lovely flight on a northern firth many thanks ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 It is possible to go wildfowling without a dog, though I prefer to have one with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberFowl Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 I would happily take you out to a wee estuary for a flight. No guarantees obviously but can show you a different patch of mud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have had girlfriends like that and they are all now history and am free to spend my time as l wish without interference or nagging When Ross came out with me a couple of years back, he left his partner in Inverness on a cold 2nd of January and drove all the way up to Dornoch to do some `bird watching` on the shore. I think he is man enough, the Cairngorms a wee bit further away and I think his partner is a very tolerant person, after all, it is a family break he is having so could be more than his partner involved. Ross, as previously you would be more than welcome to come up again. I havent been down the shore much myself this season as weather, tides and work have all been wrong for me but I hope for a few outings in the next week or so. Enjoy your family break the Cairngorms in February can be great, I have been snowed in with temperatures @ -18* so don't forget your thermal long johns Cheers, BBL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratty1 Posted December 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 hello bbl . hope you are well.were looking forward to going up north, bringing my outlaws from australia ,so hopefully plenty of snow. would love to come up again but that will have to wait for another time. i see your season is going the same as mine. ive only been out for 3 flights so far. pheasants and deer seem to keep away from the estuary these days. hopefully ile make full use of febuary and get a few flights in. cheers ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
