29th October 2006 brought a trial on wild game at Lajatico near to Pisa. The event was organised by the Tuscany Delegation of Club Italiano Spinoni. Robyn and Stuart travelled and took part in the event with Nyika, Nemo and Jumanji. The plan was to travel to Umbria in the early part of that week and meet up with our good friends Ezio and Stefano to look at a few Italian properties and have a day hunting then travel back up to Pisa for the event before heading home. |

Lunch is a time to relax and for Stefano to discuss the merits of different cartridges for different weather conditions. (don’t ask me to explain but he swears by certain cartridges in wet weather and others for dry.) |
