Welcome back Mike!!

Hell Mike,

You have certainly come back to the right place for all the advice one could wish for on rod renovation.
Happy renovating!

Welcome back This forum is home to some superb restorers. I've learned a ton from reading back over the various sectons. It a truly fantastic resource

Thanks, BB.
You may well be right about the New River. Back in the very late '50s/early 60s, I had a pal, Charlie, who's garden in Palmers Green ran right down to the river; indeed his road was New River Crescent. So we may have been poaching as we squeezed through the fence! Bit like Walthamstow Res a few years later! We moved away from Norf Lunnun in '63. I don't think I ever bought a licence or permit.....But Don's of Edmonton was the tackle shop - very near Dad's workplace.
You're right: some great walking in the New River. It has recently been discovered by a niece who has moved into the area and is so excited that she has invited her old uncle up to go for a walk along her new find! Little does she know, yet. Mike

Good to have you back in the fold.
