England selection shoot, Podimore - 31/03/12 > 01/04/12

[TobyM]

Picking this up from the News Monkey and giving it its own thread:

From ShootClay, myself, Bob_P and Ed are booked in on Sat at 10.45. I believe this day was added subsequently.

Looking forward to it a lot, despite struggling with the discipline generally.

Early weather forecast is overcast but dry

 

[Bob_P]

Looking forward to this, never been to Podimore before, and it has quite a reputation....Bringing your shorts Toby?

 

[TobyM]

Ha! I don't think so Bob. If it'll be like today then yes, but it's not looking that way

 

[Emmsy]

bring your skeet shells

 

[EdSolomons]

Yeah shot there once, and hard it was not!!

 

[paulos]

[EdSolomons]

It's a long old trek mate!

 

[paulos]

580 mile round drive. I'll have a lie-in instead I think...

 

[Will Hewland]

`Podimore`.. even the name sounds as though there are ancient village rituals in corn fields..

[EdSolomons]

messages received. Warmfingers..... OUT!

 

[TobyM]

Bob_P, I'm just preparing for the worst. In the un/likely event I can't find any diesel, can I meet you somewhere along the A303 and grab a lift? Assuming you have enough fuel that is.

I have a quarter of a tank which in mine won't even get me down there. Happy to pay costs, of course.

I'll be seeking out forecourts tonight after gym. Bloody ridiculous situation

 

[Bob_P]

Yes - no probs, fortunately I have a full tank. I'll look at the map and see what we can do...

 

[EdSolomons]

If you could pick me up from Leicestershire that would be great....

Podimore is slap bang in the middle of Somerset along side the A303.

There is no problem or panicking about petrol/diesel down here guys. Its all pretty normal.
