looks like it might get a bit damp in the rainy season. I bet the insurance companies wont insure it.

You could have problems with barbel breaking in through the bedroom window.

I was privileged to be allowed access to Claudia's private estate (but strangely enough one of her underlings flogged me a day ticket for £8.00).

Also, that area doesn't often flood too badly. The flow/height is carefully managed by excellent river keepers via sluices, carriers, navigation channels etc etc. The "flood" hits lower down the river!

Here's Saint Claudia in all her glory!

Claudia might get a bit upset when she sees you've described her as a "HUT"

/forum/smilies/big_smile_smiley.gif

From the footbridge (where I took the photo from) I saw a common carp of about 15lbs drift away into the shadowsplus a load of roach (newly introduced). The stretch holds plenty of brown trout, grayling, salmon parr and if youcan find them HUGE roach!

Start your bids at £50 (the fact that it's got carp in it drags the price down).

Mike, that's because there's a bl**dy great sign saying "please do not fish opposite our house"!

I caught one, but had to go home early when others were feeding in the swim including a few giants.
