I used to have an Impreza, crap for fishing, but what a car to drive. Anyway. We're on our second Volvo XC90. May be a little on the large side but they do a XC60. I get everything for a three day session in ours.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone, means a lot. Unfortunately this isn't my first ride on the bus so to speak. It's the culmination of a few too many knee operations but hopefully the end to constant pain and better knee stability. Less pain killers in the long run too. A local anaesthetic...

Thanks, Paul. Good tips. Only problem with No 2-3. We live in a bungalow. LOL.

Sorry to resurrect and old thread, but I have some bad news and some good news regarding my predicament. The bad news is that my fishing for this season, is probably now over. The good news is that on the 28th of December I'm booked in to have a total knee replacement. Hopefully I'll be...

Not socks, but insoles. They were ok, but a little on the thick side, which made them slightly uncomfortable in the boot. Take the boot insole out and they were better. Three settings, I used them on the lowest and they kept my feet warm enough the whole day whilst at work. Put them on the...

That's a Teet. The most commonest Owl in Britain. ;);)

I'm not expecting much TBH. But I thought I'd give it a go. At least it'll go before the AGM. I can't claim the idea though. I got that from @Richard Parsons FB post a few years ago. I doubt I'll re-join next year, at £100 it's become too expensive Vs the fish I catch. Although I meet up with...

I once tried to reverse a club rule (not BMAA) at an AGM that the committee had previously brought in without first consulting the membership. The next AGM, there were more members in attendance than any previous AGM in history. Strangely, they were all there to vote against my motion. 🤔🤔 I'd...

Thanks, Tom. Be nice to finally meet you.

Don't know if anyone will be interested, but I've put a proposal forward to the BMAA committee asking for it to be heard at the upcoming AGM. The proposal is for a "river only" ticket to be added the the list of memberships available. There is a "canal only" ticket, so maybe we can have a "river...

Mine have arrived, but unfortunately they've be delivered two doors up the road. LOL. 🤔🤔

No I don't Joe. I bought the BM ticket to fish the Dove, when that became hard I moved onto the Upper. I now find that very hard as well. I've fished the Upper Trent all my fishing life when there were matches on it. I now want an easier way of fishing than match fishing, hence the Barbel...

IMO, Ladypit is worth the ticket price alone, although it does get very busy. Lots of Chub and a decent head of Barbel. I've only fished the tidal a few times and struggled if I'm honest, but haven't really given it a good go. Still learning Besthorpe, and haven't fished any other sections yet.

I've got a Scunthorpe ticket for Ladypit and the tidal. I'll probably get a Newark Piscatorial ticket next year. It means more time travelling for my fishing, which I detest, but at least there are Barbel up there. It's a shame, as the Upper is only 30 minutes away and I can be fishing in 40...

Is it worth having a BMAA ticket ?? I've been a member for about ten years now, and I know there are a few BM members on here too. I don't catch any Barbel on their waters, haven't had one for two seasons now. I don't get out as often as I probably should, but the thought of another fishless...

Just ordered two pairs. As a 13 I have to strike while the irons hot.

I like Terry Hearn too, but doesn't he look strange with grey hair. Seems to have come on all of a sudden. At lest he's got hair though.....

Look. Forget all this talk about making things, what's the lawn look like now it's been mown ?? 😁😁

Grivel do an extension bar for their crampons. I'm a 13 and used them on my G 12s https://grivel.com/products/valter-long-bar They also do a wide pair of G 10s which the bar will fit as well. https://grivel.com/collections/crampons/products/g10-wide
