Wrentham Shoot – 4th December 2010

Had a call at work from Terry on Friday; “There is a place going spare on the shoot tomorrow, do you fancy coming?” Humm, let me think, first day back after few days off sick and still feelling a bit dicky, nearly two weeks of snow/ice on the ground, 170 mile round trip with an 8:00am meetup; oh yes, I’ll have some of that.

Overnight thaw meant I arrived at 7:30, Terry had beaten me there in his L200. Full english at the Cafe and off to the farm. No hanging about and next thing I know I’m standing on the Peg of my first drive, of my first ever driven shoot. Two jet propelled partridge whizz past me, one either side, the gun next to me drops a Pheasant just as I line up on it, and before you know it, it’s all over.
