I have just got all the gear together and I am just waiting for the weather to warm up a bit.
Would appreciate it if I could tag along with someone who knows what there doing for a couple of outing's till I know what I'am doing cheers Keith

Hello mate,
I tube a bit around the north west, Esthwaite is a good water to learn the ropes on as you don't have to go far and is usually well protected from the wind. I have tubed Stocks a couple of times but it is a bit daunting for a beginner, Seriously there's nowt to it but if you'd feel better by having someone go out with you on your first trip and you fancy trying Esthwaite I'll come with you. I believe Arnfield allows tubers and though I've only fished it from a boat I would like to try it from the tube so perhaps we could arrange something for there.

Let me know if either are of use to you??

Cheers Matty I would appreciate it!
would just feel a little better if I was with someone who's wet there legs a bit Arnfeild is great for me but dont wont to put you out! I bought it mainly because Arnfeild Walkerwood, and Curly's are all within 40 min drive from me so did'nt think I'd be wasting my money would also like to get away a few times maybe and try some of the bigger ones once I feel at ease on it ATB Keith...

You might have to spread your flippers a little further afield fellas

See my earlier post here: United Utilities Waters Float tubing BANNED

Which includes Walkerwood and Arnfield both united Utilities waters.
