Playhappy - Field Notes

After slugging it out with home water & getting a pounding - we hit the road to Carlise in hope of a change in fortune. Two days away for under £100 with the slim chance of a fish. I nearly embrace new tech and we all find comfort in Witherspoons.

With the river out of the picture due to the heatwave I relive my youth and go tench fishing. When the rain arrives we enjoy the whiskey olympics and company. Fish are caught and lost and patience is tested.
