Oh my!
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

That is quite incredible - I think that the photos themselves are breath taking. Dick Walker used to make all kinds of fishing gear - and then promptly give it away to someone, sometimes even to complete strangers. That fantastic generosity of spirit is clearly alive and well in the TFF......
Trouble is, the fish just don't read the books......

Thanks chaps, I popped out Christmas Day for to hours to the local river cray in Crayford, I did not see a fish, the river is so poor now, it is like an open sewer, so much rubbish, some people could care a hoot for the environment!

I will hopefully get to christen it Wednesday :Thumb:
