The long dry spells this spring and summer have made for marvellous game clay days, and many of you joined us to have a go at faux pheasant, partridge and duck. In all more than 50,000 cartridges were fired at a similar number of clays. Add to that drawn out lunches on the lawns of the Cuckoo Inn (notable for Jenny’s home-made chillies, curries, cakes and other delicacies) and you were sent home satiated and spent.
With the birds well and truly on the ground, we’ve rolled up the picnic rugs on another fantastic simulated season, but if you fancy one last blast Outside Days hosts the 50 bird sporting clay shoot at the Hamptworth Country Fayre.
