Just a heads up that I and five trialling friends attended a top class training day at a prestigious Norfolk estate with a great trialling history. Wild partridges and hares in well topped sugar beet, tested an excellent team of guns led by Henry Carr,another leading supporter of spaniel trialling on his own grounds. The day was arranged by Steve Newman through Jessie Musk who manages the ‘gundog’ days on the estate. Jessie also, with advice of the keeper, led the line enabling the handlers and spaniels, some ‘open’ experienced and others ‘first time out’ to get the most out of the day with contact flushes, marks and blind retrieves in testing scenting conditions. Thanks must also go to Angie Musk who not only provided refreshments but with her picking up team ‘eyewiped’ us on a number of occasions and Mitch who blanked in for us all day. Could not recommend the ground for trial or training days more. If interested make contact with Jessie Musk.
