    For those of you who were unable to attend the course used was to the right of the road, will the next event be an uphill battle?
    Bloody hell! I hope not Edwin.

    Quarnford

    Hi Steve,
    Weather @ Q when I arrived on Sunday ---vision was down to around 150 yds up thru Flash got all my lights on & wipers flat out,nice Quarnford switching wind up the valley & it was bloody snowing ,then raining,my fingers were frozen for half the course.
    I had two coats on ,bomber jacket with hood up & the new florro yellow cammo jacket that I have worn before,although I don`t think this style of cammo works too well.
    The weather did clear half way round but by then both me & Karl had blown it K did 76,me 75, Platty did 72,don`t know the rest.
    We just went out too early should have stay in the hut & had a few more cuppas & toasties.
    How did you do @ the weekend.

    Hi Pete, Well driving down to the Greyhound on the motorway through the rain and spray was a bit iffy. Having got there the weather relented and shooting the second session meant sunshine all the way
    It was a good course and I shot 53 ex 60 on the day and but for blanking a kneeling shot (and missing a stander) could have struck gold.

    See ya on the 27th,
    Steve

    Steve,

    Will you mention to John that we have not deserted them! We hope to make it for the third shoot on 10th April.
    The 1st shoot at Quarnford clashed with the last round of the Midland HFT Winter Series as you know, the second shoot at Quarnford clashes with the 1st round of the UK's!
    (Hope I shoot better than my attempt at the Greyhound!) Well done you, 53 was a good score mate.

    Qa 10/4/11

    Hi Rick will be good to see you both at QA on the 10/4/11, not sure yet which course John will plot.
    Pack the ropes and crampons just in case, you may be scaling the heights, the hill has yet to be used this season!
