The glorious 12th came racing up on me like a steam train, leaving disarray in its wake as I tackled Yorkshire, Croatia, the 19th century and the Sussex downs in rapid succession. RSS news feed Newsletter / Mailing list Contact us

I make no apologies for dusting off this old chestnut and republishing. When the loonies, kooks and crazies stop asking questions that would require the publication of numerous volumes to answer, I’ll leave this one in the archive.

When it comes to birds, we pride ourselves on offering the extremes. Our quail and woodcock packages in Croatia are no exception. If, as the dog days of summer roll around each year, you contemplate the sorry state of the British summer and rusty shooting skills in the face of the Glorious 12th and beyond, [...]

More famous for their troubled past, the Balkans offer some of Europe’s finest stalking with quarry extending beyond roe and boar to include chamois, mouflon and ibex.

Guinea fowl, and geese, and doves! Oh, my! There is more to South Africa than plains game. Going on safari to South Africa once meant weeks of travel just to get there, and time spent pursuing big game with even bigger rifles.

As the dog days of summer roll around each year and the grouse begin to take flight over pointers and butts, I am always caught out by the start of the season (the blog was the first casualty of quail, grouse and pheasant, so if you follow me on Twitter @outsidedays and this is out [...]

Each year, I collect a team of guinea pigs who put aside common sense, regular mealtimes and British tea in favour of adventure in more or less civilised corners of the globe. This year, we got our shots and headed for South Africa in pursuit of a heady mixture of bird shooting, plains game stalking and fishing.
