This is thimbleby
clay target centre.
A real Gem of a shooting ground it
has to be rated as one of the of the best esp layouts I have come across
targets range from easy to testing

facilities in the clubhouse include
tea and coffee, an assortment of goodies.
Toilets, and disability
friendly.
The 100 bird esp layout consists of
10 stands in a lightly wooded valley, spread along aprox 1/4 of a mile of
easy dry uphill walking,

The stands are well spaced, and the
traps strategically place to provide some very interesting and hittable
birds,

Along the track some of the stands
have seating and rest areas to have a cuppa and reflect why you missed the
last stand. can't be bad.

Also is a 25 bird compact sporting
not to be missed.
To sum up I love the place and will
return as often as my pension will run to it. Give yourself a treat and
visit soon,
You will return. My
promise.
