Today we went to Bisley...

...not to shoot, to meet up with two forum members, R.G.C and Fred.
I was anticipating a nightmare of a drive to Bisley from home which is inbetween Bedford and Milton Keynes however it was not that bad, a few parked moments in the morning going there and straight home in the afternoon. First recognisable person we bumped into was Duff Eyed Doyle, good to see you again, hope the shooting went well.
We had been given the name of the lodge where they are staying and after having asked Chris in the Range Office (Heather's Chris) for directions off we went and promptly got lost. Then even more lost. Ended up down at the bottom, next to where the military is shooting. After having asked a very nice guy on a buggy for directions he decided to take us there, very likely based on the totally lost and bewildered expressions on our faces. Without SatNav...
We got there, knocked on the door and met R.G.C and Fred for the first time, R.G.C's daughter joined us later and we spent the entire morning chatting and then out to get some lunch and then back for coffee. Excellent to meet up! Yes, it was all about INCH, Millennium, shooting, sights and the most amazing rifle I have seen in a long time. Fred's rifle is a work of art if you ask me. Of course it has an INCH action
R.G.C, thank you for your hospitality, Fred thank you for putting up with us who know no French and thank you to R.G.C's daughter for inviting me to go shopping at Evans :lol:
