The last part..

I did not see what Will had seen,except that what ever it was was drinking from the lake ,and had now gone..

Now what I have not told you ...is Wills swim is THE most haunted swim,we are talking suicides,and other stuff ,rituals, that time has long forgotten, all in the genre of ararat .and when I went to check up on Will he's gone and built a literally corralled circle of sticks and wood debris around his swim ...I kid you not ...,he was spooked....and now I was..!

That night ...I did not sleep ,I turned to god praying ,I'd not have to leave my bivvy ,I had to hold back on my nightly wee...I would not get out of that bivvy,Will...he didn't sleep a wink...

We packed up ,looked for the farmer to say our goodbyes, but where our cars were parked was farmer,a vet ....and they were treating a cow with huge scratches on it,clear as day it was in the entrance of the barn...

Sleep well in the countryside, won't you...!

The next part...

We prepared to part for the night as I mentioned, it gets dark quickly here,as Will prepared to leave ,he's pointed to the back of my Heritage Armo,and on the deck in the mud were two of the biggest paw prints I have ever seen, they were huge prints..,there were others ,but we had corrupted them by our movements..

I did though,photograph them..

It's now dark,oh...so,so dark..the sound of nature ,of night reverberating around the ancient pool..,during the long autumnal night ,I heard some odd coughing in the woods behind my flimsy shelter..and the owls hooting as they hunted for food ,but for sure ,laying there,I felt as if it was me being watched and hunted ,I zipped my door down and I never ever zip my door I was really uneasy..I don't know why but I was..

The night passed,dawn came ,but no chorus, came either,Wills come up wanting a chat ,saying at four am he'd seen deer spooked in those woods fleeing ,as he described it,plus there was a barrage of alarm hoots from owls at first light..

He looked a bit worried..

I'm looking at Will ,whose watching the pools mirror like surface, his whole demeanour changed ill never ,forget his facial expression ,as he said Ad,on the far margin is the biggest fcking cat I have ever seen,...

I don't know if I have posted this before,or mentioned it..what I'm about to pass on happened...it happened,no doubt about that..!

This is mine and my friend Wills truth ..Will is a full on country boy ,he lives high,high up on the moors ,now Will is kind of a unique, a special guy ,he lives in a remote caravan ,in wild country ,he's also a very,very capable angler ,it's his life for sure,and travelling around the world .

Now as I said ,he's moorland through and through , nothing much fazes him,stories ,fables...etc..ie he's tough.....OK..

Fast forward ,I'm lucky ,...I get to fish special places,places that should not exist ,in any time zone ,or in todays mad,unforgiving,dog eat dog world,..carp fishing included

Simply put i pulled two strings and managed to take Will as a one off guest to a history lake or Wheal...this Wheal has a dark history ,very dark indeed,and when I mention dark,at 3pm summertime this place gets proper dimpsy and at certain times a terrible foreboding can apparition itself ..

After giving Will directions we arrange to meet he's late ,as he got lost,and eventually we meet up and introduced him to the lake,and the owner and his wife..

We chatted to the owners ,for a bit ,but something the wife said stopped us in our tracks ,it went along the lines 'we have had an intruder'..me,being me retorted ,if we see anyone ,I can ring you and let you know..

The straight answer from the lady was,'not that kind of intruder'..and they both ambled off with stout cattle sticks ,prodding and sifting through the fallen leaves,on the angles path,we left them to it..they seemed to have lost something?

We both quickly set up ...but before it was proper dark Wills come up for a cuppa,now this a ritual as we are part of TAS ,..roughly translated as Trangia appreciation society ,Kernow chapter..!

Didn't know you could fish it, a few years ago I had to accompany my Mrs for a ghost hunt there as she doesn't drive, if I had known I would have chucked the rods in the car and asked her to wake me up in the morning.

Personally I bypassed the new lake and went straight for the older stock. Some lovely jet black scaleys, not massive but when there�s barely another angler who cares

Pipingford Park was always interesting being a active army base. Waking up at 4am to find a soldier sitting on a log 12 ft from my bivvy got the heart going not to mention getting up in the night for a slash and seeing a lit cigarette in my swim where someone had just been sitting. I think the soldiers like scaring the **** outta anglers is what I was told. I was thankful to them
