Default OK so we thought a day on the test was expensive!

How about a couple of days shooting, mind you a train trip is thrown in!

$48,360 per couple. Well, I'm sure some on here could afford it.

$48,360 per couple—one shooter and one non-shooter (2 rooms included)


2 Rooms

If i`m paying 48 grand she had better be getting in My bed
I take it thats what one shooter and one non-shooter refers to

8 days' holiday for 2 people, full board including gourmet dinners, and including 5 days' shooting for one gun, for around £33 grand. Nice junket if you can afford it...why not ?

It's possibly not aimed at dedicated game shooters, just as some of the famous middle Test beats now target the corporate hospitality market while you find real chalkstream anglers on the Upper Avon, the Wylye, the Anton, the Piddle and Frome and so on.

A holiday for people who have more money than they know what to do with.

Ah, if only I could win the lottery.

If you have that sort of money perhaps sleeping with your wife is not mandatory

That’s ridiculous........ Its almost three grand dearer than when I went and they have even stopped serving Cristal Champagne............

We went on it when the East wing was being renovated and the worst thing was the renovation wasnt finished on our return and someone had scratched a De Kooning in the long gallery.

Well, the $48,360 is no problem, but the Day 6 small print reads "Non-shooters enjoy some shopping..."

I'm worried the net price might go up as a result of this.
