At Severn Tunnel...if a boat comes near or anyone insists on walking behind butts on coastal footpath...it's Stop, Stop, Stop....From memory, it was the same down Penally...Jeeeeze what a view!

I used to shoot on a range in Essex which 'looked' out into the medway. The backstop was non-existant so we'd have to stop for a breather every time a boat sailed by.
From Essex over the Medway would have put your backstop in Chatham/Rochester......... the residents of those fine places wouldn't have noticed "extra" rounds bouncing around the place.... ;) :twisted:
Now then Sim you know the medway towns is a luverly place innit :lol:
What is a Sapper? This versatile genius condenses the whole system of military engineering and all that is useful and practical. He is a man of all work of the Army and the public ready to do anything or go anywhere, in short, he is a Sapper.

Here is a link to a Google Earth picture of the 4 main MOD ranges we use at Barry Buddon. The 2014 Commonwealth Games shooting competition will be held here, approx 15 mins away from me in the car!

It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!

If you can bring 3 friends then there will be more paying spectators than we had in shooting-mad India in the 'revolutionary, spectator-friendly' range.
