Hi Paul,

Not being a coarse angler; having no real interest! I must say that reading your post and seeing the photos, was a real pleasure!! Now, what is an Ide? I said I was not a coarse angler! The blo-ody weather is awful everywhere; and I'm sorry to hear of the old car failing the MOT. If you lived a little closer to south wales, I'd sell you my Toyota Corolla -it's a 98, lift-back model -in immaculate condition and only done 47000, miles from new with full service history! I have two cars and I'm the only one that drives either, but I'm a bit reluctant to sell one of them! Anyhow, I enjoyed reading your post; and the photos were great! Just going by the description of the weather conditions in your area, you deserved to have a good day's fishing; if only for braving the elements!

Regards

Mostyn
