Bardantop Bash 2001 (without dogs)

(click on images to see larger version).

Here are a few photos of a very enjoyable day spent with Chris & Pete Guest

following an invitation to their family shoot in Rock, Worcestershire.

Thanks a lot to you both for a very enjoyable day and excellent hospitality.

First drive stratospheric ducks. Bloody marvellous!!

The day begins in the yard drawing 'pegs' and meeting other Guns.

Pete and Andy ready for action.

Some were lucky,

My score 0 for 7 shots

.

Standing waiting for this drive was a pure pleasure. The hill was covered with a crop of mustard and huge flocks of small birds feeding on the seed then made way for partridges and crafty cock pheasants.

As the shadows lengthened my toes began to numb. This was soon forgotten as a few high birds appear.

The day over we head back to the vehicles

The effects of the cold, and the contents of a hip flask leave Andy deep in conversation with a lonely duck.

The day over Chris counts up the birds. Will I be lucky in the sweepstake??

No, at the last minute 3 more are brought in by a returning group of guns.

A happy team.
