A ringing success in the Golden Triangle
It was the great playwright John Osborne who once said he could never have lunch in Brighton without wanting to take a woman to bed. Nor, I suspect, do the shooting sportsmen of Sussex do anything when they are driving about the county other than look out for high-flying birds. Shoots here, and there are many large and small in this most sporting of counties, stretch from the testing escarpments of the South Downs right up to the north where it is possible to have a high-bird day with The Shard and St Paul’s Cathedral shimmering in the distance.
Amongst these shoots is what might reasonably be called a ‘Golden Triangle’, which centres within a five-mile radius of Bright-ling Park, near Battle, in East Sussex.
This is the timeless home of Henry and Helena Grissell and Gardi and Di Gris-sell. Henry runs the shoot and Di is the Senior Master of the East Sussex and Romney Marsh foxhounds, which produces great harmony here between the two sports.
