I have to say that everyone I have spoken to who shot Lulworth , thought it was the worst shoot ever , they complained about literally everything from targets to lack of food. Many said it was typically French , and won by a Frenchman.Which possibly tells a story in itself.
Any news about Lulworth?

No! It was not typically French! In France there,would be many food and drink stalls not just one! The biggest problem for me was shooting two parcours. One after the other! So there was no time to socialise with other shooters, no time between parcours to drink a coffee and unwind! The first day I was on afternoon start! 11.50 I think? I was up,at six, left home at seven, got there at eight twenty, waited for my mate, then went for a pee and a cup of coffee, hell of a queue didn't bother! Went to find the parcours as no on was allowed on them till day one! Went to car and togged up prepared for wind and rain! Walked 250 yards to catch bus, shot the two parcours caught the bus back got in the car a went home! No razz no buzz no F/A! Repeated four days
When you shoot Fitasc as a LEFTIE you get a referee that stands at quarter to nine on your left in your periferal vision and a right hand shooter the referee stands at five and twenty past five almost behind you!

Oh dear! One food/drink stall sounds about right for Pilford or 3 Lions. Doesn't sound all that good between hundreds of competitors and others.
Salopian, as I'm writing this in France and thoroughly enjoying everything French it's difficult to embrace the comment about "typically French". But I didn't visit, so I don't know.

Schmokinn, I don't think you've met MrsP.
Apart from the dog, and his crate, and his food (in a freezer box because of course we can't be confident about getting him something to eat in France despite it being the umpteenth trip with him) and his toys and throws to drape over the furniture in the farmhouse (despite the farmhouse being both rural and fully equipped) and his leads and grooming stuff, we had to pack in my own meagre set of clothes, several months' supply of her clobber, a medical bag that left us better equipped than Poole Hospital A&E, towels, washing powder, dishwasher tablets, industrial quantities of toilet roll, kitchen roll, raincoats, umbrellas, food (because of course we may not be able to buy food), crisps, water, wine (I know, I know), computers, chargers, hair equipment, electrical adapters, three pairs of binoculars, badminton kit, duvet cover 'n sheet 'n pillow cases. The list is endless, and while packing it all into the vehicle (having spent an age persuading her that her own Peugeot 207 might not be big enough) I saw that she was taking a bag of onions. Onions, FFS, to France, the epicenter of Global onion availability!
I shouldn't have spent all that time looking for a small second hand 4 x 4. I should have been seeking out an artic.
That's the battle for cargo space that I'm fighting...

There may be a little gap by the side of the battery under the bonnet or inside the spare wheel well

Spare wheel gaps taken up by electric toothbrush charger and toiletries.
Under the bonnet every nook and cranny will be used for my dirty laundry.
Please don't give her ideas about sand...
