'Pegging Out' Bivvies on Wooden Platforms

[Mr Cholmondeley-Corker (PaSC)]

Some waters have large wooden platforms for fishing from and bivvying up on.


If you have done this then how do you peg out your bivvy on a wooden platform?

I was going to say about using a small cordless to run some screws in to attach guy ropes or if the platforms are planks you can tie around the planks (if there are spaces between ) but then saw your edit .

 

[Mr Cholmondeley-Corker (PaSC)]

Fox do some screw in thingies apparently. Or some people use screw in cup hooks. If here i a wire mesh on the platform then tie wraps work to.

 

[Morespiders]

Cup hooks, fool, tie it to the wire mesh and you will be in trouble

 

[Mr Cholmondeley-Corker (PaSC)]

Why?............

 

[Phil Hatton 2]

I use the screw in guides that farmers use to fix electric fencing to wooden posts..perfick!

 

[The bad one]

Why?............

Coz the bailiff will nick you
Lifts the wire up and becomes a trip hazard that's why!

I use the brass cup hooks.
Also take a bradall with you, makes it much easier to get the hook thread started.

Lifts the wire up and becomes a trip hazard that's why!

Aah, OK. But if I take a blow lamp then I can heat up the bent wire then flatten it back down with a hammer.

Now, what about pooing? I recon that all is need is a drill and a coping saw and some hinges. They can be used to cut a six inch flap in the platform - a bit like a bomb door. SPLOOOOSH! If th platform has a wire mesh on it then some wire cutters will also be needed.

Most of the platforms I've seen, other than those specific to disabled anglers, have barely enough room to put a chair, let alone camp on!

 

[Mr Cholmondeley-Corker (PaSC)]

Aah Fred, my club has some 'luxury' waters with large, mesh covered wooden platforms big enough for two if required.

No where to go for a sh1t though!

 

[Fred Bonney]

Pulled all the bushes out to build them then ?

Behave Fred! It's waters are managed by professionals

Ah dumping, blow torches and hammers........ though you said you 'd read the rules now Matt
It's a long walk to the dump can on the luxury boards peg, but you've got to do it
All others, it's best if you take a good selections of big corks.
Or live on eggs for a few days. mg: Followed by a few handfuls of laxatives just as you leave. Should just make back to Warrington for the can at home.

I couldn't find anything about blow lamps Phil.

There is nothing mentioned about Wolves either. So I will be taking my pet Wolf fishing with me. It should help keep the dog walkers away (who are allowed to take their dogs on some of our waters, where as paying anglers we are not!).

wolf my foot - it's just a dog with a latex wolf mask over it's head

 

[The bad one]

Ah wolves! I think you'll find they covered under the dog rule mate, as all dogs descended from them. So sadly it's no wolves either unless your a member of the public.
Not sure about cats but you'd need to have it on a lead.
There is a rule for public dog walkers, It's get on the *******g right of way! And where there's no ROW take your dog and *** off it's private land!

Blow lamps are covered under the no naked flames and fires rule.
