If you wish to join a wildfowling club, a good start would be to ask BASC for its wildfowling permit scheme booklet,that way you can sample the delights without the outlay(in case its not for you) an experienced member will take you out band with a bit of luck, get you under a duck or two, the Humber or the Wash type of area would be the best bet for you I should think mate, my own club Gedney Drove end Wildfowlers shoot from the river Nene to Shep Whites, prob about 9 miles of foreshore, they are in BASC permit scheme and provided you are in BASC (a must for all clubs) then a day ticket is only a fiver, if you want to know a bit more ie about equipment ect, pm me and we will have a chat if you like. regards CC

I did the GDE route about 20 years ago when an old fella called Sid Wright took me out on the foreshaw. He put us under every duck species and that's where I got my first Wigeon. He sat away in some scrub calling ducks with clapped hands and I had no idea it was him, I thought it was so real. He was probably the most knowledgeable character I ever came across throughout twenty odd years of fowling. The Wash is a great place and steeped with tradition. Going past the East lighthouse in a thick snowstorm was a great experience I will never forget.

GDE truly is a magical place no one can understand the reasons for the riduculas early mornings, the cold and discomfort until they experience it for themselves. It's not for everyone admittedly but when that sun breaks the horizon and the orchestra starts up of gesse out on the mud flats its like nowhere else.
