GRAYLING BASH...TIMSBURY MANOR...NOV 12th

[GlennB]

Damn.

What are the chances of my sister ever forgiving me if I miss her wedding to go fishing?

 

Can't she get married some other time?

 

Damn selfish of her if you ask me.

Well, that's kid sisters for you, no sense of priorities

[argyll]

We have vicars that are AN members. If I could persuade one of them to come to Timsbury, would that help?

Still two more places left

Not sure how well the detail on the map will show up, its just a little diagram for those that don't know the water. The warden at Timsbury has I.D'ed the popular spots for different fish and it pretty much follows what we already knew, although the whereabouts of the fabled Timsbury 30lb plusser that everyone knows about but nobody's seen, is anyone's guess. Hope it saves you some time setting up on the day.

Travel directions

 

Travelling on the M3 westbound, take the A303 then the A30 towards Stockbridge. From Stockbridge follow the A3057 towards Romsey. Before you get to Romsey you’ll drive through the village of Timsbury. Then turn right into Manor Lane, following the lane to the end and turn left through two brick pillars (Timsbury Fishing) Bear left following the track and park behind the lake. Fishery rules and boundaries will be found in front of the office. Got yourself lost ? Timsbury Fishery office number is 01264 365165

 

There are three lakes with carp. These are not included on the river ticket. Don’t fish them unless you’re prepared to pay for another ticket on the bank.

 

I’ll sort out a breakfast stop later. Last time I used the Winchester motorway stop the breakfast was bad news and I wouldn’t inflict it on the rest of you. I need to check with the office first but if they don’t mind me bringing a barbie I’ll swing for some lunchtime bacon sarnies and sausage rolls if you lot make a small contribution to the Mcmillan Nurses fund.

 

Lastly I need to confirm start and finish time but we think it’s possibly 8.30am to dusk. I'll confirm
