    Bewdley Bridge traffic.

    Does anyone know the current situation regarding Beales Corner and the bridge? It is fully open, one-way traffic or closed at the moment, staying at Highley in July. A few weeks off I know but forewarned is forearmed.

    Lightweight quiver and backpack.

    Morning Gents, I have a Korum River Brolly which is excellent but a tad heavy. I am looking for a lightweight quiver that will take the Brolly plus one or two rodrests. Can anyone advise from experience please. While I am here, a lightweight rucksack is needed as well.
