You know – when I spotted this hotel while standing at a bus stop I thought that it was going to be a bit….you know – pay by the hour or a bit of a bed and breakfast for Glasgow City Council’s homeless teams however after a quick Google I was pleasantly surprised – it is a proper…
Winter Man Shit – Shaving!
I know that a few of my readers and friends enjoy the “wild man” unshaven look as it seems to go hand in hand with the outdoors fishing lifestyle. Personally I like putting off shaving for a week and then feeling all smooth for a while. Plus my work is not a big fan of…
Weekly Water Photo – 52 of 52
Right, I should actually point I have got my numbering wrong – the post a few days ago included three water photos that I did not label. Here is the last of the year.. Not a recent photo however a picture of what I am looking forward to in the spring – rising trout in…

Our very own Hurricane has been given a name in true style – personally I noticed it was a bit breezy when a large metal bin went flying down Anniesland Cross high street towards a gent who then actually punched the thing sending it banging into a taxi. He did not even flinch. The taxi…
River Kelvin Spate
Totally random video of the Kelvin in spate – lasts around a minute. I was actually out with Atkins looking at all the arbour work that had been done. Lots of pictures to add to the RKAA site.
Weekly Water Photo – 48 of 52
With all the rain we have had you can do a spot of white water rafting if you are so inclined – these pictures were taken before the water was really turned on… I had to telephone the council last week as there was a log blocking the fish pass – it has obviously now been cleared….
River Kelvin Forum – Phase 2
All posts gone, all members deleted (apart from around a dozen) what madness is this? The River Kelvin Forum has undergone a metamorphosis and is now the The “K” board –a single stream of thought,talk and opinions. We don’t have sections to confine us as neither does life. There is a thread and post “voting” system in place – if a post is…
