I had a holiday, probably 2019 ,part of it in Corsica. In chalet surrounded by cork trees. Absolutely fascinating to see the depth the cork can grow too even though regularly cut and removed. Seemed they cut it rectangularly about 150cm x say 80cm or so in panels. Some pealed layers seemed...

Have you chosen wisely!

I like the sound of that. But what I seek is the magic ingredient. Something is added which makes the paste/ gb squeeze ready. The gum and wheat germ is a stiffener but requires a liquid to blend. How to do it without liquid is the question. I will try all these suggestions though over the...

I must say Adrian than I can see your point. Some 30 years ago the RSM booked a red letter day for me at Birmingham railway museum for my 50th actually. It involved just 3 of us, plus the tutor, driving THE flying Scotsman for the afternoon. She was there awaiting a re fit for a cracked firebox...

"Treat" is in my book another word for "indulge". "Sensible" doesn't come close

Not sure you are right guys. I have always thought treating oneself was for that something special you don't need, but really want. For me, fitting neatly into the same situation as you tacklewise, it would be a mark tunley rod, the multi I think it is called. About 300 or so, enough but...

I did see it on fb mp. I had looked at his supero 15". Very, nice rod you have bought yourself. If we can't treat ourselves now and again, what's the point.

Wet and dry I believe is best. I have made tips thicker by using nail varnish and then smoothing down , when I have needed to add a little width. Works fine.

I can collect if it helps anyone being 10 miles away that's all and can then post.

Enjoy it.

Yes fishing spares are excellent both on line and on phone. Size at insert is the crux. I bought 2.2 there last year. If u get stuck my pal has a tackleshop and loads of spare tips just let me know diameter and I will have a search thro the bundle

Hi all. Clearing out my "docs" I have come across this. I have been sending on request the earlier 2008 catalogue. I knew I also had a later one from Dave Coster's time with Hardy. If anyone wants a copy emailed, just pm me. It is the complete range of their products.

Sorry its a 12 , doh. Got excited there. Looks a nice buy too.

There is one at romford , I can pick up for you Alan. It's 8 miles from me. Hopefully in a few weeks I will go to fish decoy at Peterborough and give to my pal who lives near Lincoln. 3/4 way to you?

This rod gets a good write up in most places I read.

thanks Thanks for that Kevin. I was waiting for the first completion. Well done

Glorious Essex

Enjoy the search. That's half the fun I feel, seeing what's out there! Enjoy. I always have a list of one or two which I still seek, for no other reason than that's what I want. Wants are much more fun to persue that needs.When the list is blank , it will be because I am too. Ha.

I have 2 beautiful peregrines , both 1.75 Alan. The 111' has a 4oz spliced quiver and the 12 titanium. Cost a lot and we are 200 miles apart. I don't use them and sadly due to age ( mine ) unlikely to again really. Just sentimental value to keep I suppose. But if either rows your boat, pm...
