Blasford Hill, but you would be advised to talk to him well in advance as you can't just rock up for the night.

I viewed it when it was originally up for sale and decided I couldn't face the prospect of spending all my spare time there.

I also fished the A12 lakes before anyone owned them I was only a boy. It was the first place I caught a pike on a spinner 👍

One of my claims to fame catching a carp from there before it was commercialised and anyone could fish it. April 2001. Wonderful memory that.

Great memories

They were stock ponds for you know where Robin. I'd have thought there'd still be some in there.

They were pumped basically dry this year to keep the levels up in you know where. A lot of the foliage has now been cleared from around them. The new farmers mean business with the pumping.

Oh the new landowner certainly means business all right, have you seen the drawings for the 3000 houses on the farm? All over the farm, including round the Res. Even out on the point. Maybe not soon, but it will happen.
