Don't want to step on anyones toes but as "Tubs" hasn't posted since January, does anyone fancy a get together at:
Willow Park
or
Gold Valley
???
I'll happilly organise something which can be a "day", "overnight" or a "long weekend" or combination.
Whilst I know GV far better than Willow, I think Willow would be more suitable for our purposes as there are two lakes which are superb all round fisheries plus the big lake which is more suited and accustomed to the "proper" overnighter Carper (I'm also told it's a "runs" water as well). The on site facilities are superb and the whole complex is easy on the eye.
Not sure of cost or availability but as they are both just round the corner, I can easily found out pretty quickly.
Let me know if you fancy it.
