Hi any news how the BASC Arran hinds weeks are going this year any one been ?
agree.You stalk in pairs, so if you arrive on your own you might be paired with a good stalker or a novice - 2x novices doesn't equal success!
Go with a stalking companion and you canhave a good time.
That'd make Griff happy!!!!agree.
there were four of us and they gave us two beats plus the option of a third if the first two didnt do the trick.
trouble is we did them the wrong way round and ended up on the best beat on the last day!
How much does it cost for the stalking and level of experience is needed??
The stalking is very cheap at £220 for a week on the hinds and £380 for the stags. Then you have accomodadition we pay around £250-300 for a cottage then you have food and fuel try not to buy fuel on the island its very expensive at £1.60 a ltr. To get the best out of Arran a good level of experience is handy or go with some one who has got that experience. Ive been going the last five years and normaly get the same beat so I know the lay of the land which is a very handy start a first timer would spend the first couple of days walking around just looking and its just luck you stumble into them Bob and griff will try and point every one in the right direction if you ask. I will also say that you need to have dsc level one and be registered for level two. A great scheme to go on
How does one go about enquiring about this stalking??
