Guest tredegar Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Hello, My father is in to ferreting and also owns a couple of greyhounds which he enjoys hunting with. Could someone point me in the direction of a decent shop in or around London from which I would be able to buy him a few Xmas presents. I am either looking for books / equipment. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simoman 110 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Look at the links of here, decoying.co.uk and Ian Hodge fieldsports?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest tredegar Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 They would be perfect, but due to the timing I need to visit somewhere in person and not order online. Am I right in thinking that these two suppliers are situated in Wigan and Devon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid 935 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 What side of london ? Theres a few about. One I know in whitton high street is quite good, but theres a lot more http://www.moreuk.com/search.php?cat_id=75...:1|2|58|26698|0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest tredegar Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Well I'm East, but dont mind travelling a bit. As long as its a good enough shop with a good selection of stuff with things that would be suitable as gifts for someone into Ferretting or Dogs (preferably Greyhound / Whippets). I didn't want to end up going somewhere that was predominantly Gun based, as although he's in to that as well, it wasn't what I had in mind. Any suggestions welcome though!!!

ghostlyease 17 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 (edited) There is one in Surbiton that ive been to a few times Info here I like this shop, nice people, its not huge but its ok. There is one in Crawley that we visited just last weekend, it was ok but the online shop is way better than the actual shop... http://www.surplusstore.co.uk/ Im pretty sure there isnt one in Barnett any more as it says on the links in the post above but I could be wrong... Check in the yellow pages online for either army surplus or air gun shops, you may be surprised whats near you. Edited December 20, 2007 by ghostlyease Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 I once stumbled into place called " Soldier of Fortune ", somewhere in London. Decades ago now and god alone knows where. But it's sure to have been full of 'interesting' things for outdoor types. One place that should still exist and be worth a drool round might be Survival UK. Again, not exactly Field Sports, but sure to make any outdoorsman wish he was loaded!

It's ridiculously expensive though but has gear for shooting, fishing etc...sells all the tweeds and hip flasks to the posh set. Great shop if you have the cash.
