Lindisfarne

[Guest Lord B]

I have heard of free passes to shoot geese on Lindisfarne, aquired via the trust who run the place. Does anyone shoot there or have any experiance of of the place and the offer?

 

Thanks

Dont know about free passes but it was in the BASC magazine about passes costing £50 per season I think but dont quote me cos my memory not that good but I remember thinking thats good value for a full season.

Surely someone lives near there.

you wont get a free pass, they dont exist,......terms and conditions are ,"preference will be given to those who have shot there before",.... hard luck !

Found some Lindisfarne details in a countrymans weekly. The shooting is controlled by Natural England, and run on their behalf by local wildfowlers.

Permits are £51 for a season, and this pays for a professional warden who offers advice to newcomers he meets on the shore. To apply,you need a form. To obtain a application form, send a sae to Lindisfarne Wildfowl Management Group,

Hope this helps?

As a mature student, Colin completed a Bsc in Countryside Management at Aberystwyth University and currently chairs his local Wildfowl Management Group.

 

The position of wildfowling warden at Lindisfarne runs from August to February and so Colin will be on hand throughout the season to answer any queries 'fowlers or visitors to the area might have. He is also there to police nearly 4000 hectares and is keen to meet any new permit holders to help them understand the rules of the site and how to get the best out of their visits.
