Happy to post via insured courier at no extra charge to the winning bidder, or they are welcome to visit the LRA as my guest on the local BEFS waters in order to collect and 'splashtest' the box themselves.

Happy to accept non forum member bids via email: toby@jarvisjefferies.co.uk

Thanks b2, this is a lovely box and I'll be giving it up reluctantly.

That's a handsome bid and very much appreciated, the hours of care and attention in this box are amazing and thanks are due to all the lads involved.

Well done Steve.

What I should remember to say is if anyone would like to give a smaller sum of money to the Wild Trout Trust to assist the Softmouth study, then they are taking money directly.
