    Fishing officially permitted

    The one that was on before is a lot smaller, I think I'll keep it as a summer guard for when there are a just a few puddles here and there ๐Ÿ˜… To be honest, the big ugly one that's on now does a much better job. Function over form!

    That rear mudguard was a purchase made because of the state I got in on the previous ride ๐Ÿ˜‚ was just making the point I do, and the bike does, get dirty lol

    Tackle Box Darent Valley 11ft, 1.75 test Barbel Rod

    Keith, I bought a brand new pair of these exact rods last year for smaller river fishing. For the money very well made and nice looking rods. I've caught barbel from tight snaggy swims on the Yorkshire Derwent to over 9lb on them and I have no complaints with the power or action of them at all...

    Fishing officially permitted

    Yes! ๐Ÿ˜… I have a 14 mile ride from my door and back that encompasses 3 local club ponds. Takes me about an hour or so and is a nice countryside ride. Handy for checking if ponds are iced over and perhaps handy if I happen to have a small bag of boilies in my back pack ;);)๐Ÿ˜‚

    Lockdown returns...

    Last couple of times I went fishing I fed a friendly little Robin, know what he did? Shit on my ruck sack! ๐Ÿคฌ That's gratitude for you ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Lockdown returns...

    Bag them up airtight, wrap them up in something to prevent freezer burn and freeze them. Dead maggots make an excellent groundbait addition ๐Ÿ‘

    Barbel and winter water feeding tempratures

    Can't catch at home and that's about all I can say of it. Start of this year I had a small barbel in January having not caught one since mid October the year before. Had a few more blanks before a visit in early February when out of the blue I had 4 full on barbel takes and landed 3 of them...

    Best place to get muck boots

    Great price that! Had 3 x pairs from Charlies now (two for me, one for the wife) and always good service. Been out in the snowlines over the last few days and lovely boots to walk in :)

    Audi A4 Quattro 2015 S line 47k miles

    Beautiful car Graham. When I came out of company cars a few years back I looked at an A4 Avant Quattro Special Edition, that was the 2.0 TDI version (170bhp) and the most amazing deep red/orange colour. I dithered over it for a couple of days before thinking I would go for it. When I made the...

    Audi A4 Quattro 2015 S line 47k miles

    Out of interest Graham, because this sounds a proper bargain, have you a link to the ebay advert? I'd like to torture myself having a look ๐Ÿ˜…

    Heated clothing

    3rd go with mine today, 5 hours stillwater piking (no fish :( ๐Ÿ˜…). Granted it's not freezing out, 5 or 6 degrees air temp but no sun so felt chilly. Set socks on medium. I've had lovely toasty feet all the time I've been out. 2 bars power remaining when back to car. They certainly add another...

    Happy Christmas from BFW

    Best wishes all. Great forum and a great gang on it. Hasn't been a bad year for the barbs either. :)

    Heated clothing

    Just an update on the socks as I donned them again yesterday... Not quite so positive, although not particularly fault of the sock. The air temp was forecast to be quite low yesterday, anywhere from 2 to 6 degrees in the time that was I out (frosty start, mild in the middle, cold again as the...
