It's never too early to start looking for your next sporting holiday. These sporting lodges have our seal of approval, but which sporting lodge to choose?
If the summer sojourn slump has started to take hold, do not worry. Simply start planning your next sporting holiday. And do so with the Macnab Challenge in mind.
Nothing is more delightful than whiling away a good few hours thinking on where and what the next sporting holiday will offer. Catching the one that got away, highland stalking, hunting on Exmoor, walked up grouse, beach combing or some good spirited yomping.
So for those who like to holiday to a sporting beat (we’re thinking more Macnab than mambo), the British Isles offer some bang-on destinations.
The traditional Scottish lodge can cater for most sporting needs, however the Westcountry holds its own in the sporting stakes, with Wales, Northern Ireland and the east competing to provide top-hole sporting holidays. And remember if you are after a Macnab there are plenty of Macnab types open for the taking, so Scotland need not be your only destination.
So load up the wagon and set a course for the Elysian fields – it’s time for some sporting paradise.
