I’D JUST LIKE TO SAY...
Snilesworth
I just wanted to let you both know what an amazing day we had on the moor loved every minute of it even in the rain! I’ve constantly heard the expression that power boat racing is like standing in the shower throwing £50 notes around but I really think my first day on the grouse was not much different!
Really appreciate the assistance and support you both gave me, the loader provided (Nigel) was really helpful very calm and experienced liked him a lot.
You are running a great shoot, perfectly organised, could not have been better, Bob is a great character I really enjoyed sitting next to him over dinner really stimulating conversation all the guns were very enjoyable to be with.
If you have any other days at Snilesworth coming up please let me know as I am keen to get some more practice in and subject to my diary would be available!
