Torquay Tinca Tamers

[S-Kippy]

For you guys counting the miles to Torquay the venue is in Newton Abbot.

Newton Abbot ? If that's not a beer then it ought to be.
What is it with the South West and these made up place names

Only 197 miles from my house

It won't be a match Zak. lol

Don't let Rickrod see those snakes, we won't see him all weekend, he'll just have his worms out!

With me navigating it could well be.I once took the M5 instead of M6 and did Old Trafford via the scenic route...London...Birmingham... Gloucester...

OMG Steve!!!

When you said eels, I thought you meant one or two! I don't fancy a net full of grinners......

I can't commit to it yet, work have slapped us with a no holiday order on 27th, 28th of May, due to end of year stock-take
Therefore I don't know what time I'll finish work on Friday 28th? I don't fancy trying to navigate the car park (M5) on a bank holiday Friday.......

How many pegs has it got Steve and when will you need to know for sure?

Also, I hope you know what you're letting yourself in for! The stress, sleepless nights and migraines, plus the graying effect if it's flooded off!

p.s. That campsite can shove it! Check out the rules, it sounds more like a prison camp! No kids and a charge for visitors if they stay longer than 20 minutes and visitors have to pre-book in advance!!!

The bivvy option looks favourite at the moment, do they have toilets?

Clean portaloo in car park which by the way is safe behind huge locked gates ,keys purchased at nearby tackle shop ,Tescos is behind car park .

Tench-a-thon - Tench-tas-tic!!!!

Wow! Thanks Steve. I love this water and after loosing one last time i'm chomping to get back on there - as you know. Will have to pratice and pratice my waggler fishing when your'e down in April.

Any of those three dates would do for me. Guess you just have to choose what is best for you and see who can make it....

I reckon steve should be fine on the campsite front - and that might be better for most due to costs??

Roll on the summer!!!!!

Jim

Count me in Steve, its sounds perfect

Look forward to it, counting down the days till some warm summers mornings already...

PS, I'm up for camping

 

[slb]

Steve S, why not come down early on the Saturday if you're staying until Tuesday? I'll dig out some more camping options and let you know.
I think there are about 70 pegs on the three lakes I would put people on.

Maybe sounds good, put me down provisionally, maybe bring a posse

 

[preston96]

Bivvies???

 

[slime monster]

This is my favourite tench pond there ..3 acres

 

[Rickrod]

£10 to bivvy up for 24 hours sounds good

 

[slime monster]

£10 to bivvy up for 24 hours sounds good .............If you like cattle

 

[peter crabtree]

£10 to bivvy up for 24 hours sounds good .............If you like cattle

[Steve Spiller]

10 quid is very good, I aint sure about the crocs though!

 

[Peter Jacobs]

I's be up for a couple of nights in the bivvy after Tench, especially if it is the later date in June.

Pencil me in please and I'll confirm later.

Hi Peter, I'm looking at May Bank Holiday again as most of the people who have declared an interest so far are happy with those dates.
