Tope Trip Wales

[GB]

Quick question, how far is the launch point from the car. Is it short enough to take back the trolley is will it need to be stowed.

[Simon Everett]

GB - it is about a 20 yard carry! You won't need your trolley at all. You WILL need a bow line though, because returning at low water you have to walk the kayak up the shallows of the river - this is much easier if you can tow it on a line.

 

I have just rung Barry to make sure of the bait situation (I got him to reserve me 10 packets of bait) he has 8 BOXES of mackerel arriving today or tommorrow - so we will not be short of bait. Even if there are plenty of mackies about, I shall still buyt some frozen ones off him - he has gone out of his way to get us these mackerel and we need him to be in business for the earlier sorties of the year.....a couple of quid won't hurt anyone.

The weather for Sat could be more of a problem than bait looks breezy??? Sunday winds are forecast to drop Hope to be on site Friday lunchtime .

Almost ready!

Does anyone know roughly how many hook baits we're likely to need?

Will be setting off in the morning and expect to arrive about 3pm.

Look forward to seeing you all there

[SpeciMan]

I'm budgetting for about 10-14 whole mackeral a day - will probably use them in halves (heads & guts and tails)

 

If Zzippys got space left in his car we'll be there early evening.

[Zzippy]

Ahhhhhhh.Thats the other thing I forgot about,...Speciman and all his gear
