[North West] Land Wanted - "sub-prime" land wanted for rent, not for farming.

Hello All,

I'm looking for a piece of land within 30-45 minutes of Southport for shooting. It does not have to be great land, it can be a bit of woodland in the middle of a field, it could be something too wet to plant on that's otherwise useless to you or just a field that's unused at the moment.

It's for airgun target shooting practice, my local club ground has been shut down due to Covid so I'm looking at other options for the next 6-12 months. I'm just somewhere I can go a couple of times a week and do some shooting with a friend. This is not me trying to set up a club or any kind of commercial adventure, I'm just looking for somewhere to keep my skills sharp while competitions are shut.

Again, I stress... This is not me looking for a club ground. This is me and a mate looking for a short term venue to shoot on during the day.

Requirements:
  • Near Southport, anything Southport side of the M58 or M6 would be ideal.
  • A space around 60 yards long
  • Somewhere to leave my car within a short walk of the spot
Me and my friend are both insured, we shoot sub-12ftlbs airguns and have been members of a local club for 10+ years. Ideally we just want something we can turn up to that's out the way, put a few targets out and leave. You probably won't know we have been there.

A small patch of woodland would be ideal so we are sort of sheltered from winter elements, but it's not necessary.

I'm not sure what kind of money something like this is worth to you guys, but of course I don't expect this to be free. We can also take care of any pest control issues you may have or I'm happy to help out around the farm with basic labour if that would help.

Thanks!

Still looking!

Very happy to pay money for a space that you may have that's unused by you right now. That little bit of woodland or wet swampy field would be ideal.
