Anyone going this year? Here's a shopping/wish list.

Now don't go and buy up all the best capes before I get there on Sunday will you?

There on Saturday. I have a genius plan. I am leaving my wallet locked in the boot of my car and then I am bring £30 pocket money and that is my lot.

haha Hope that works for you. I'm not sure it's foolproof unless you swallow the keys though.

I know a few people going, but I think I'll go fishing instead...

I'll be there on Saturday but can't promise anything on the capes Richard. I understand Lakeland have got a load of new Hebert/Miner capes in. Have you tried the Collins hackle farm? I got exceptionally nice rusty and honey dun capes from them a few years ago. Not as dense as Whiting capes but with a much wider, natural, colour range. I believe the original brood stock was taken from eggs supplied by that excellent Catskill breeder, Harry Darbee.

Spot the person who'll be hurrying back to the car after 10 minutes.

Aren't they the guys that carry a health/wealth warning on their website? Stating a prospective purchaser may have his goods confiscated.

Collins Hackle Farm

Must say the Golden Grizzly looks appealing.
