That was summer 89 I think; no bans for anything then, you had to buy a ticket at the post office in Lechlade to fish, £7.50 a day or £25 a week seems to come to mind.. That 200lb cat actually was from Cassien not the Ebro I remembered after posting above; one of the fist massive cats caught by an English angler at the time. Nowadays it has obviously changed a lot, like everywhere has, it is still a nice place to hand out fore a few days when not too busy..

That's the problem these days; and partly why I no longer have any fast bikes, certainly in the SE of the country anyway, way too many cameras etc, you just can't enjoy riding freely much without doing track days..

And my old GS1000HC this was my last bike, had 1100 big bore kit yoshi cams harris 4 into 1 full race pipe

That was the swim that many years ago I think it was Mike Winstone and another bloke won one of the first 'Carp matches' held there, using PVA mesh bags of pellets? I actually thought Tiger nuts were banned at the time on HorseShoe but might be wrong? Anyway, I used to concentrate my efforts on Winter bay, winter point and disabled swim and the middle road bank swims were good. Not sure what the place is like now, and sounds so anti what it was set up to be, obviously cannot turn the clock back but early days were actually a very special time imo Best times were before the flying rats arrived and those carp could be caught so easy on mixers very early morning when the big group of carp moved into winter bay

Wrong forum lol

My Scrambler will be my last bike... I'm 66 in a few weeks so I'll have this one a while till my back says "beggar off, yer done sunshine"...🤣

Here's my old girl cbr600fn 1992, I've had her 11 years now and I wouldn't dream of parting with her.
