Well I've already bumped into a Hare this week (Hare1 - Bumper 0) so I'm not planning any on any more bumps!!!

I will be there - ( with the Oneida Black Eagle if you want to say ello) M6 Junction 36 - turn left off the motorway if your traveling northbound or right if southbound - get on the A590 and follow the signs for Barrow in Furness and Ulverston. Stay on the A590 for approx 25 miles until you reach Newby Bridge - mini roundabout go straight across, the A590 bends sharp left here and then opens out to a short length of dual carrigeway. Just as you come to the end of the dual carrigeway the road bends left dropping downhill as soon as it straightens out there is a right turn, take this right (Barkers wood yard on your right) and continue to the T junction at the end, turn right and go under the elevated road crossing between the two parts of the Whitewater hotel, you then see a bridge over the river, immediately after this bridge take the right turn (caution narrow roads from here) and continue on it for a mile or two until you go under a railway bridge thats on a left hand bend, about 30 yards after the bridge turn left up a really narrow windy lane - the shoot car park is at the top of this lane on your left hand side. The shoot will also be signposted from the A590 - signs will be out from Saturday Evening- they may take you a slightly differnt route to my instructions but you will get there either way. Have a good trip ! See you there

It was a good day, hardly noticed the small bit of rain. Second time at Pennington, the layout of the course is superb, such a great mixture of shots. Best bit was getting revenge on the F*£%ing Squirrel that I blanked at the Scottish...it's dead now, good and proper with 1 arrow
