webber Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Whilst driving back from our shoot this afternoon I received a telephone call from my keeper friend in Cumbria. Sadly my spring and summer Sundays at my holiday home will never be the same. Adrien advised me that Stan at Lindale has sold all of his traps to Holker, who intend doing simulated game. Sadly Stan has been doing too much with the clays and the contracting, and the contracting has won. Stans was a unique set up. I shall miss going there and the craic with Stan. Does anyone know of other Sunday shoots within a reasonable distance of Milnthorp. I am already aware of the shoot at Ulpha, which is quite good, except that they dont shoot during August. To say that I am gutted is an understatement, it feels like a bereavement. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's near Skipton or about 30 miles south of Kendal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floating Chamber Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 It's going to happen all over! Land is 'needed to house our growing* population' (not my words) * 'growing' def: 'become large enough for or suited to' - By definition, this beautiful country has a large enough population as it is. For all our sakes, somebody tell them to STOP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 (edited) Try Crabtree farm in Lupton on the A65 it's the lane opposite The Plough Inn. They have a 50 bird clayshoot every Saturday 11.00-15.00 and are open on a Wednesday evening 17.00-21.00. Free tea and coffee FIBRE wads only.Edward will Not tolerate plaswads. All traps are modern automatics with very few no birds the terrain is hilly farmland. Edited January 13, 2008 by BlaserF3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I'm up at Arnside for the Easter holiday. I've arranged to go to Crabtree on Saturday. I was wondering if anyone had a fixtures list for Lindale at Ulpha? webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
