As part of a group of five, we were thoroughly looking forward to Clay-Pigeon shooting followed by Mud-buggies. Problems started right from the start as we could not do the Clay Pigeon Shooting first. When we got to the Mud Buggies track, which the website says will offer 3 buggies, only two were present, both looking clapped out. One of them in fact never started, despite the single instructor flooding the engine in a vain attempt to get it started. After a second 'instructor' repeated the same trick of flooding the engine and both demonstrating a complete lack of any engineering skill the instructor gave up. Jumped on the back of a Quad bike and disappeared, leaving our solitary mud-buggy driver unattended. So much for safety! . The instructor returned with a Quad bike offering us this instead. Of the six Quad bikes supposedly available as stated in this website, only two were operational, and these showing little sign of maintenance. One making a distinct rattling noise of loose components. We were told that the others were all faulty.As a result we all spent significant time sitting around board stiff watching two of our mates going round in circles on a quad bike, then taken on a short track as an attempted apology.whilst my turn on the Quad bike was fun, the boredom of sitting around waiting was not. Equally getting my leg burned on the exhaust, obviously missing it's guard was equally not fun.This was then followed by and hour or more of boredom waiting until the Clay-Pigeon Instructor was finally available.This could not have been presented with greater contrast. This instructor clearly knew what he was doing, and got even first time shooters taking down clays. He was highly professional and kept the Shoot highly entertaining, and also safe.For me this was only mired by the pain in my leg (due to the burn) and the fact i couldn't hold the gun still as my arms were still shaking from the Quad Bikes.In short I can highly recommend the Clay Pigeon Shooting but the Mud-Buggies and Quad Bikes are a joke, so don't waste your money.Moreexpand_more
Response : I only just saw this review as I don't check freeindex and only happened to look today – Thank you for your positive words about the Clay pigeon shooting, I was unaware of the troubles with your motorised activities that day. I can only apologise, what you experienced was a rare thing which can only confirmed by all the genuine positive reviews we receive. Also since then we have had management changes and substantial investment in the Quad bikes and Mud Buggies (as well as Clubhouse and grounds) so we would hope to never receive feedback like this again. Best wishes,David.
