BASC North
The North of England is BASC’s largest region, from the Scottish border down to North Wales, both east to west. From the glorious uplands and grouse, to the estuaries and some remarkable wildfowling, the region has a vast range of shooting opportunities and quarry species.
The area boasts open landscapes, forestry and coastlines with some of the best topography in the country.
Based in the regional office at Ribchester are Duncan and Kerry, with Gavin covering the West and Rob the East. Joanne – our firearms officer – deals with most of the firearms and licencing issues in the North region.
The region covers Cumbria, Isle of Man, Northumberland, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Merseyside, Manchester, Durham, Cheshire, Tyneside and Cleveland.
