A bit of the cut on view here ......... Grove basin 'in its heyday'

Was only chatting to mgb Saturday about exact same thing..you wouldn't believe it is same place...even from the seventies with the old slag heaps which are now covered in trees

Don't know why, but that picture is the wrong way round!

Need to put a "now" picture on TK.

MGB - when I next met the person who emailed me that picture he asked me 'if it was the right way round'

How the crappity smack would I know

That bridge wall - whichever side it was - aint there anymore OBI

Climb a tree

Or stand on big cols shoulders

Here's a 'then and now' for OBI, thanks to MGB

Went down the cut today for a session on the boats..........

Good job really cuss the CRT were doing some 'bankside maintenance' on a floating pontoon in between The New Pelsall Road bridge' and Grove Marina

When I wandered back at 3pm the towpath was a 'bit muddy' and Joffies peg (below) was 'bald'

How did it go?

As well as the obligatory silvers on his punch, OBI also found a couple of tincas - Joffie will be pleased to hear that he had them on caster over Sensas black

How did it go?

plenty of small fish about...very small, had a bite/indication every put in on the punch,...until the sun came out ...

it definatly needs his gardening skills down there..grass a tad long 

No photos yet, but 11 tincas and 4 bremes put in an appearance off Cotti's 'peg' by Doggers bridge this morning.....might have been more after I left
