Feedback & Reports

First time out here and opted for the middle parking spot for starters. Wasnt very clear to me where the lower was ,only spot seemed to be at a gated field entrance and could have given a problem as was in my VW van.
Parking at middle is just fine. Didnt have time to investigate upper parking.
River adjacent to parking seemed a fast chute of water beyond barbed wire and heavy brush so started at the end of the wood just upstream. Couple of good looking runs there . Nothing really doing on top , just the odd fly on the go and one or two fish showing erraticly. Opted for my late season favourite, a daddy long legs but they werent really on it,just a few splash and dash rises,fished through some lovely water too.
Found the path through the wood adjacent to the river ( theres a stile in to the wood at the bottom corner of the wood btw ) and wandered quite aways upstream. Some fab water along there but sadly v v difficult to get down too , v v steep and heavily wooded banks.
All in all it was a lovely walk there through the woods on an indian summers day!
Sat it out in the evening back down at the end of the wood hoping for some spinner/sedge but no luck, just a lovely sunset upstream.
If you a right hand caster (like me ) I would advise being on your game there with the backhand or spey casting!
Found my wading staff to be invaluable too.
