Timsbury AN Annual Grayling fish in

[Dick Dastardly]

Thought the weather could be iffy so ordered a new web-tex poncho which has just arrived this morning. First impressions are it looks to be good and also very light but the proof of the pudding will be in the eating. It hadbetter work as I will not be taking a brolly.

 

 

The poncho is a much underrated piece of kit,Not only helps you keep dry but also your gear as well. A kind of mobile bivvy!

Dry kindling is a good idea, according to our old friend Metcheck:

 

 

 

 

That's better than it was in 2007!

Well I have to say that it is a good bit of kit. I had a test run earlier with my wife giving me good hose down in the garden which by the look on her face she enjoyed . I used to use a poncho a lot many years ago but this particular one is really light weight and flexible by comparison and packs up really small. If you are sitting on a chair it covers everything up so saving the weight of a brolly when you are mobile has got to be a benefit. Just need to reduce the number of rods now packed in the quiver.

That really was something else.

 

Although it won't be as cold as the 2007 'guantanamo experience', I am bracing myself for the inevitable A34 3-hour tailbackathon... every year!

I'd rather you didn't.

 

(Then I won't have to leave my wallet at home).

Is Elton going? You might want to add another couple of boxes, just in case...

They would make lovely tree decorations, though!
