This was a "boys trip". Seven of us went for two nights. We arrived on Thursday evening and met up in the bar and had a great meal - Cornish Crab followed by Steak with home made onion rings. We were picked up at 8.30am on Friday for the Snipe Shooting by Rob. None of had been before, although we had all shot other game. It was very different to usual game shooting and very enjoyable. We had 9 drives spread out around the area. Snipe live on wet boggy ground - which was reflected in where we went.
On Friday night the kitchen made canapes from the Snipe - very tasty. Another great meal and a few drinks and advice on everyone's shooting followed.
On the Saturday morning, two of us went down to Tinhay Lake for some fishing. Too cold for the fish really, but we saw a few and enjoyed the view.
As ever, a lovely break and we all resolved to come back again for mroe Snipe shooting next Season.
