Come down the M6 motorway and join onto the M5 motorway. Leave at Junction 4A Motorway on to the M42 Motorway. Leave at Junction 2 and take the 4th exit to take the A441 (Dual Carriageway) to Redditch. At the end of the dual carriageway there is a roundabout but still take the A441 to Redditch.

 

Just under a mile you will see a Petrol Garage on the right and also a Brooklyn Citroen Garage as well. Straight through the traffic lights and up to the Big Roundabout. Go straight across as you are taking the A41 to Evesham, In fact you will be still on the A441 carry on right up in to the middle lane to the next big roundabout and go straight across as you are going to Evesham (but still on the A441 and take the next exit off up to the roundabout and take the 2nd left on to Lodge Park.

Right I hope I have cover everyone. If not let me know.

 

As I said in my pervious thread forms on the AnglersNet/Lodge Pool meeting. Nearly all the fishing platforms are made of concrete. Apart form the 4 island pegs which is wooden decking. So it is advised to have a set of level seating. For bankstick is it also advised that you need depending on where you fish the bankstick (telescopic will be best) must be well over 2ft in the shallow and at least 4ft by the wall.

 

If there any questions - don't be afraid to ask me!

[Guest Ferret1959]

I'll be there, just need to be reminded every few days, even down to the day before.

 

My memory is crap.............fish-in, where??????????

[Andrew Burgess]

I'd give up on you mate!

 

Just following the direction I had given to the forum and if you get lost then - well tough luck

[Guest Ferret1959]

Is it near Redditch??????????

[Andrew Burgess]

I recognize that peg, Mr Matthews

 

Please don't tell anyone what peg numbers it is because it going to go to one lucky angler who will be fishing on that peg in a few days time at the teach in/ fish in.

 

Provided if he/she have enough floating bread or baits

 

Mr Matthews if you are going out again, I don't mind you posting the pictures on to make them wet enough to drool over the pictures as long you don't mention the peg number!
