I hate to shop. My wife is an expert. I love fieldsports and gatherings of what the Americans call ‘likeminded individuals’. Each year, Number Two takes advantage of this and uses the CLA Game Fair to kit me out from top to toe for the coming season.

The closed season in Austria meant that the only stalking I was able to do was with a camera…sporting Tevas, red shorts and a blue fleece enhanced the challenge.

Standing majestically at the northwest edge of Europe, the Outer Hebrides is a 150 mile-long island chain of beaches, moorland and mountain. Lewis, the largest and northernmost of the islands supports thriving populations of grouse, brown trout, red deer, and migratory populations of woodcock, sea trout, and Atlantic salmon.
