Well Jez I've been really busy at work and that photo was VERY similar to the one I was going to put on the blog so we're both sad mate. I'll put a different one up now, maybe from the pub :)

Conrad
 
Nice report Conrad, you forgot Mark Cavanagh's chub in the evening though...........
 
Great write up Conrad. But.................I honestly didn't have any tackle in any swim in advance. I just walked quickly and have longer legs than............some;)!

Its a pity the sleeping bag you chose to sleep in is not back in fashion, pre 1970's :D.

Looked like the cover off an ironing board :D

Did you manage to find it on the carpet Graham ? :D
 
Really enjoyed the weekend - lovely stretch of water - shame conditions weren't a bit better.
Good to see everyone - wish I'd got to know more of you but too busy enjoying myself.
Excellent evening social - when Graham brought a huge tray of red wines I knew I was going to sleep well !
Thanks to Graham for organising and to Andy F for BFW (nice to finally meet you).
Lastly Stevo was an absolute star - lending us the stretch, doing the barbie, putting Mick and me in Ian's swim and being an all round top fella.
Highlight for me wasn't the barbel - it was the 2am Yorkie raiding mission to put the old silver fox in some suitable, warmer accomodation.
Classic BFW fish-in - when's the next ?
 
J Wilson one the meal jammy sod lol
