Well......erm.........oh yeah. What a Wind tunnel.

My highlight of the day was seeing poor Bob on the next peg getting eaten alive by his brollie Image Image

I didnt fancy it this morning but I went along anyway as it wasn't raining. As soon as I got out the car the heavens opened, typical.
This is the shortest match I have ever fished......20 mins after the 'all in' I packed up :D

Fishing for me is supposed about 2 things, catching fish and having a laugh. I was having neither so I simply packed up. Glad I did lol.
As I walked back down to my car (walk of shame) I didn't see one happy face.
I hate the wind and that place is unreal.

Take the yellow stream all you like, I can take it Image Image

5lb odd won it, thats all I know. Well done that man Image

I had just got to my peg about 8.45am when I hear a motorbike Image

I looked up and there was this 15 year old kid coming along the footpath on a mini scrambler.
Bare in mind that its yellow stream down.......He is wearing a fake timberland jumper and jeans and thats it.
When I was on my way home Drynet said that the lad on the motorbike asked him directions to Birmingham Image Image
