Wol & Andy sitting on someones lap UNLESS somebody drops out
Apres ski at the campsite but I'm not sure if Wol is cooking or not.
Pirate gear is optional but there be a fine bottle of grog for the best lookin pirate ie the most convincing one not wearing their normal clothes & artificial limbs. Peter J did suggest a sweep for the biggest tench...we'll sort that out on the day and as Peter has been unwell I dont know if he'll be there or not.
Travel light cos the boats aint that big and the hill is steep.A float rod is probably all you need...a lead rod as well if you like.Caster,hemp,corn,pellet all work for the tench as do WORMS and there are some very big perch in there who like both a worm and a spinner. The bream like a bit of groundbait even though its banned & nobody pays any attention. Better to sit it out than move around.Dont fish too light. There is room in the punts for a proper chair [just] and you'll need one.
I will take a couple of pints of caster,same of hemp,a few maggot,a tin of corn and loads of worms.I will fish for tench & hope to snaffle some big stripeys.
We'll decide and end time when we get there but it wont be that late cos it will be pitch black by 2000...probably got to be off by 1900.
That's it. Directions from Google Maps or your Sat Nav.

Any questions pm me or Ray or ask on here. Dont be late because parking inside the gates is a bit tight.
