Plus climate change, which is going to be the issue going forward - I know it is already, but those in power have not yet grasped this. How long before start to experince large fires on the grouse moors and the possibility of pyrocumulonimbus storms which will bring flooding the likes of which...
Chris i think definitions are really interesting in our case. In my first five years of angling I never saw the country - it all took place in urban Leeds be it the local canal or pond ( the Aire was not really fishable in the 60's), so was it any different to my mates who played golf on the...
It is not a straightforward topic and there are a great many grey areas in what is seen as sport, hunting for the table, field sports and conservation etc. but I have never seen Chris Packham as anything other than anti country sports. And angling is a country sport.
I would agree that there is...
Fascinating thread that i have just picked up on...Graham has alluded to a point I was going to make. I wonder how many of us would have caught a double figure barbel if we had been fishing in the 1950's, very few I suspect because...well there may have not been that many but why? A number of us...

At FAQs today - local means local...
Only local travel is permitted for the purpose of daily exercise as set out in the Government’s travel guidance here
This specifies the ‘local area’ – ie. town, village or part of the city in which you live. However, there is a recognition that there will...
As i have said elsewhere the govt. guidance is clear - you stay in the part of your city, town or village - district is certailny not local authority. For clubs this could be a pain to police...
The guidance states this....
You can only leave your home to exercise, and not for the purpose of recreation or leisure (e.g. a picnic or a social meeting). This should be limited to once per day, and you should not travel outside your local area.
I think fishing comes under the R&L banner and...
Walked down at Symonds Yat yesterday afternoon and it was a couple of feet below the bank top and is in the field at Kerne Bridge - it has pi***d down overnight and is doing so as I write this - the gauge at Ross (top one) shows it has fallen over night but it will be shooting up again - it has...
