Trying to plan ahead and think about venues for a few years time. I live in South Wales so choice locally is limited. Current water will keep me going for a little while but wanted to get my name onto some waiting lists but so far even the waiting lists are full.
Does anyone know of any water that is taking on members even if just to the waiting list? Willing to travel up to 2 hours from Swansea area so Bristol/gloucs/Cotswolds within reach. Open to most options but prefer not urban so discounted the wharf.

Staying in Wales have you checked out the lists for Lamby and The Birch? Think both are full but having fished both in the past definitely worth a look for you. Lots of lakes in the Cotswolds but difficult to get info unless you know someone. Horcott and Aspen are a couple for you to look at

Thanks, no hadn't looked at lamby or birch so will investigate. I used to live near Swindon so know horcott and aspen well. What's aspen like now do you know, when I was there they were still doing lots of earth works.

I think most if not all the works are finished at Aspen now, I seem to remember seeing a post recently that the waiting list was about 12 weeks as anglers membership runs from the time they join/pay rather than one yearly date for all.
There is Wellington pit syndicate just north of Hereford not sure about waiting list length/time atm and how that suits your travelling time I know a few anglers on there catching some nice fish these days, the lake was initially set up/stocked by Martin from the Birch but the relationship with the lake owner and Martin didn't last long and folded pretty quickly, it had it's problems with otters from the nearby Lugg quite a few years ago but has been fenced for some time now and the fish have benefited from it, I believe it is run by someone who works for Dinemore Estate who actually own the lake from what I was last informed it's around 15/17 acres quite deep in places but does get heavily weeded during the summer or used to.
Not a syndicate you also have the two lakes at Hartleton along the M50 corridor just past Ross on Wye heading towards the M5 you pay a yearly fee, fifty pound I think to be a member then pay per session all done online for booking your fishing in, about 30 to 40 pegs across two similar sized lakes of around 8 to 10 acres each it does get quite busy at times some 30's in Rogers with one or two in the Dub plenty of back up fish coming through reasonable head of 20lb+ I think they start advertising memberships April/June time.
There is also a new syndicate being setup this year around the Malvern/Worcestershire area it's been fenced and recently had a stocking of 400 fish not sure when this is due to startup though Information a bit limited atm.

Looks like Aspen have now closed their waiting list also, familiar story!
Wellington looks like 90 mins for me so could work if you can share info please?
I drove past Hartleton recently so will take a look at that also.

From South Wales myself mate. Know exactly what you means with lists full etc. lamby and the birch are a good start. Within your travel time.
Also sent you a pm to the syndicate I was on last year. It's something special but full this year May have a place or two next season.
Cheers

Would it be possible to PM details too please? Also in South Wales and struggling for somewhere to get my name down. Fished The Birch and have been traveling up to Horseshoe lately which I love but having to think well ahead with the size of waiting lists these days
