Unknown water 60ft deep off 100 acres or so . “Supposed” to be some record breakers in there. it’s a old water place very secure fenced all round. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You will be surprised what is in we’re there is a lad on the Cotswolds I know very very wealthy owns several gravel pits up there has fish over 50lb in his own waters, but for as many years as I,ve known him hes been putting 10/20 nice little carp in waters that are still being dug as soon as there’s water in them and just leaves them, some of the big stuff up there has come from his escapades totally off record and not known about by many 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only an hour from me. I've walked bits of it.. but don't think I've done a full loop.. something I'll have to do at some point! You can get quite a way up in the car on a little lane that runs up the left side of the Res but it's quite tight in places and I wouldn't recommend attempting it at busy times. Where the road comes to a dead end is an Oak tree planted by King George and a young Liz to mark the opening of the Res in 1945.. Here's where the road ends.. and where the 'Kings' tree is.. We had a picnic in the car there on a shitty winter's day last year.. 4 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I found my old catty a fair while back. I stuck some cans up and pulled back and the elastic snapped and smacked me in the mush and left me looking like Leslie Ash. I put it back. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A long, long time ago me and a mate were out one night after a few pheasant. Back then we were using the square elastic, To cut a long story short the elastic snapped and hit him right in the gonads. I have never herd anyone make the noises he made that night on the way back to the motor, trip to hospital and one testicle removed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stumfelter 3,032 Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Don't do pics as I don't do mobile phones but me and the mrs went to the national arboretum last week and we really enjoyed the day, plenty of things to see and tributes to the servicemen and women of the various services and an education about battles and campaigns. The place is massive and we didn't see it all so plan to go back in the spring, well worth a visit if you're that way inclined. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
