Looking back at the Grueller Series………..

I’ve discovered a spreadsheet with some grueller records going back to 2002/3. And it makes pretty  ‘interesting reading’ - well at least for those involved - certainly as a comparison to the results we’ve experienced over the last couple of years since focusing on our canals ………


For ‘several;’ years our primary focus during the winter used to be on the Kidney Pond and Inlet/Outlet at Rugeley PS. And results back then were ‘loads better’ than what we seen since I’ve switched the Grueller to the canal……………… or where they really?   Image


AOK - no ice breaking was ever called for  Image………….and there was the chance somebody would ‘bag’  Image but looking back we had some ball achers  Image  - where ounces could the norm  :o for a fair few on some matches along with DNWs  Image  Image - blowing away the perception that today’s cut weights are ‘crap’ compared to the Gruellers  of yesteryear.



Don’t believe me - well have a gander at some of these weights with who did what ……….



I’ll start with 2002/3………………

Before the winter 2003/4 results are posted, interesting that we still experienced gruellers in the summer  Image

A summer series at one of the most picturesque and peaceful venues you could find - a favorite of us all I'd go so far to say - resulted in these results  Image
