I found this pretty interesting A photo on a Cornish archive containing thousands of images of the county has brought to light a bizarre story. So why did the cow want to get on his back ? Freaky Farmer !
A good way to recover after being ill? Part 2
So where was I? Right, so on the Sunday we decided to make a proper day of it. My wife was working, Emmanuelle’s girlfriend was in Italy with their baby and Alex’s was away for the weekend to Edinburgh. So we did what any right minded male gents without a care in the world (other…
Results of competition….

Fisherman dies in river accident
Sad, very sad indeed, you might remember I was going to fish the Tummel last weekend. An angler who died after being swept down a river in Perthshire has been named by police.

The Phenomenon
I always get paranoid when I take someone new to the Kelvin. I could have had weeks of fantastic fishing, all my hot spots throwing fat trout at me and the Kelvin behaving like, well, the Kelvin. And then I take someone who has never fished it and not only do they blank, but I…
Milton of Fonab Campsite- a poor result
Going up to fish the Tummel next week and looking for a campsite in Pitlochry, I found the Milton of Fonab Campsite which looked ideal so emailed them. I explained that we are a group of anglers, fishing from dawn till dusk but the answer was nope, they do not accept groups of single sex…
