Having succumbed to the temptation offered by my sons, I went carp fishing at a lake in Essex 2 years ago at Easter....those who worked ( I don't) had booked the Thursday off work, so that we could bag the best spot on the lake........OK, OK, I'll get to the point. My sons take EVERYTHING when they go carp fishing, we had a Boxer long wheelbase van that was about 50% full with gear, tents, sleeping gear, food, enough beer to float the Titanic, and bait........about 100 lbs of that I'd guess.
Now, the point is, the paths leading to the lake were single track, about 18 inches wide, the only sort of vehicle that would make any headway along there between the trees and the undergrowth were wheelbarrows, because they were more stable and able to carry a large load, so that's what we used, but it was hard work. On most other occasions we use ordinary 2 wheeled trolleys because the access is much easier, wide banks, neatly trimmed grass etc. So I think it's horses for courses. I would point out three things here, I haven't been on that sort of expedition since, the booze wasn't my idea, I don't drink myself, and over the 4 days we caught about 400 lb of carp to 22 lbs.
