Matt you can move me up to the definitely list now, her in doors says it's okay :)

Are there any reasonable B&Bs up there? Or is it more manly to spend the night on the bank? In which case, the back of the van will do.

Edit: If it helps, you can all call me Paul, just for the weekend.

Not sure about B&Bs - Lee might know.

I'll be staying on the bank side. If the weather gets really bad then I'll sleep in the car.

Corkers car is very nice...it has a leather interior...or was that the club the PaSC went to for the annual committee meeting? It all seemed a drug fuelled haze!

Still breathing occasionally......trying to interest Teme Baits in my concept of sputum boilies

Coughers :eek:

Grumpy, I'm not local so don't know about B+B's. Previous visits have been a night or 2 under the oval/bivvy, I've seen small tents there too. I've not seen it in flood yet, i've been caught out with the water rising when the tide came in though. I wonder where that bait bucket is now.....:)
At the weir end it's a walk back to the car park, at the top end you can park a small way behind your peg (been up but not fished that end yet). It's a good walk between the weir and top pegs too.

Hope Posh Paul get's over being Posh Poorly soon.

Will only be able to get up for the saturday through sunday so either I'll be under the brolly, like the sad old days, or taking a quick nap in the back of the van.

Ditto the wishes for Posh Pauls health ... :)

Directions:
We will be fishing on the bend below Cromwell Weir, so don't head for the weir car park.

see: map

Take the A1 to Winthorpe
At the roundabout take the A46 towards Lincoln, but after a short distance turn left onto A1133 (High Street) to Collingham.

In Collingham centre turn left onto White Hart Lane.
Turn right on to Low St them immediately left onto Carlton Ferry Lane. Follow this road all the way to the river. Eventually it takes you right alongside the river, where you can park a short distance behind most pegs.

Since it's the Michael Jackson tribute fish in - can all those attending please make an effort to pay homage to the king of pop
You can:
Sleep in an oxygen tent instead of your bivvy
Bring along a chimp
Bring along a small boy
Paint your face black and then gradually whiter as the weekend progresses
Dangle a small child over the Trent
Stand on your tip toes and grab your crotch
Walk backwards
I will be wearing one white glove to fish
So come on chaps - put a bit of thought into it

I thought Graham Marsden invented the moonwalk so he could sneak past bailiffs without paying for his ticket and also so he could slip out of the pub when it was his round
