Silverfox, welcome to the forum. I have no links with Merrington other than the fact that I like the place, as do you, it seems!

 

Knowing it to be anything but a runs water helps to raise the bar for me.

 

Did you see the resident Barn Owl? It shows no fear of the likes of us and frequently forages near to anglers.
