Thanks in advance for all of the hard work Darrell. I hope everybody has a good day tomorrow

Thought I'd bring forward TOG's directions to ASDA and the fishery.

 

 

ASDA Chandlers ford / Eastleigh 5 mins from M3 J13.

From, Southbound on M3, off J13

Go right & under the M3, onto Leigh road for ½ mile towards Chandlers Ford and go left (at lights?) onto Bournemouth / Winchester road.

At R’bout turn left down Chestnut Avenue to Asda. (1mile from M3)

Fill up! (supermarket is open 24hours – bread is a good grayling bait!).

When you leave go right on down Chestnut Ave towards North Stoneham you go under the M3 and then right onto Stoneham Lane towards M27.

Go left at R’bout for Airport, Right at next r’bout for Airport, Right again down Wide lane under M27 Past Ford Transit Factory, stay on this road down hill to Mansbridge road go left and fishery is on the left.(3 miles) 10-15mins.

Just been and picked up my gallon of maggots and some red worms ready for the morning. That's a gallon between 2 of us btw, my mate is coming aswell. Just off out now for a few pints otherwise I will not sleep then it's The Itchen here I come. I can't remember being this excited about a fishing trip for gods knows how long. See you all in the morning

I'm also looking forward to it, something tells me i'm not going to sleep to well tonight

[Mat Hillman]

And I thought I was the only one who never slept properly before a fishing trip !

Good luck tomorra chaps - REALLY wish I could come! I was down that way today (took the kids to see the Mary Rose/Victory etc.) and looked longingly at the river as I wizzed past on the M27.
