So it looks like the weather is going to stay coming at us from the north/east for the rest of the season. Day time temps will barely break 7 degrees, night time will do well to get over freezing. Given these conditions, does anyone here think a barbel trip to the wye is a realistic ambition?
Normally I'd just go.. but for me the wye is enough of a trip that I'll probably look to book accommodation somewhere the night before (£30) and the wye and usk foundation isn't cheap (£20 day ticket) and there's petrol (at least £25) and bait (probably best bit of £20). Chuck in dinner at the pub the night before and we're talking a £100+ trip.
So, worth the bother or not?
(Incidentally, if anyone on here is a long range weather forcaster who knows about a nice big south westerly blow coming in before the season ends then I'm all ears!! )
