Sporting Breaks
Our
service is tailored to your exact requirements, whether it is a case of a
brush-up on fishing technique, a relaxing holiday which will allow you to
indulge your favourite hobby, trek across some of the most breath taking
scenery
on foot, horse
or pony
or pursue
fish, game or fowl.
Leave it to us to organize your itinerary, accommodation, guides,
ghillies or loaders, tackle hire or guns if needed, permits or licenses where
required and transportation
- should
you
require
it
- from
the nearest
airport
or railway
station.
If you are a sportsman or sportswoman,
insurance to cover your treasured rods or guns and the general public is
a matter of personal choice and risk containment, but it is wise to invest
a few pounds
in their
continued
service and cover them
for loss or damage while in the wild terrain you are likely to encounter
with us or our specialist representatives. We endorse the membership of the
BASC or The Angling Trust for the Public Liability cover they give to the
relevant
sports.
We do not
arrange air travel or rail tickets, that is an area we prefer that you organize
yourself
as it is often a cause of holiday hell and is not within our gift to ensure
that trains and aircraft run on time - or at all in some cases! We will however ensure that any delays you incur will be allowed for by our associates and suppliers wherever possible.
In certain
circumstances within the UK, where your destination is very remote, we can arrange
helicopter
charters
to
provide
transportation to your final destination, providing that there is a suitable
landing site available.
We
try our utmost to cater for everyone in the party so we try to ensure that
there will always
be something
to see and do for the youngsters and teenagers alike, if they don't want
to learn how to ride, paint, draw, fish or shoot of course.
For those who do not have family with them, we will provide maps and details
of distractions in the vicinity, either directly or through the accommodation
provider.
Mix it Up The MacNabThen there is of course the “MacNab” now
widely regarded as the ultimate sporting challenge, where a deer has to
be stalked
(fur),
a salmon caught (fin) and brace of grouse bagged (feather).
Where
seasons coincide it is possible to undertake a mixture of sports:-
Winter
-when both game shooting and stalking deer are available
Summer -
when fishing can be combined with buck or stag stalking.
It may sound
simple enough, but there is a catch - it all has to be done in a single
day. September being the best time to try and complete the feat. Whatever you choose, we can arrange packages or
just days out, if required.
We are considering a new challenge - The Grand MacNab - which will include
Stalking (Red and Roe Deer), Fishing (a Salmon and a Sea Trout) and Shooting
(Grouse and Duck) the seasons will be ok for this but the chances of anyone
actually completing the feat in two days are remote.
