I love my solo trips, highlights of my year.
For the first one, go to a more commercial venue. Armfield angling have sorted me out in the past.
You'll take far too much gear and not use half. Can be v v hot late august.
pm me buddy if you have any q's. I go a few times a year.

When I have gone on my own I have booked one of the all inclusive venues such as Crete Lakes, Dream Lakes or Le Quis as examples. This helps with the cost and savs on the driving. The negative is that you are stuck on the lakes for the week though

Found dream lakes a bit to commercial- pegs very close together and the main lake not very large. 28 anglers on 33 pegs. Food was very good but having to wheel barrow all your gear to your peg and packing up at 5 in the morning to leave spoilt it a bit for me.
Would only go back if I was taking a young angler or a first timer.
I heard they now have access to the huge lake to the left of the hut. Has anyone fished it and done any good. Heard that's where they put all the cats when they come out. Definitely wouldn't wan5 to wheel barrow round that lake

Agree about the commerciality of the places. If I was to do it again I would prob try Le Quis but definitely not my preferred options. Would also consider a lake where you can fly in and hire tackle, one of my favourite lakes, le Tremblaye offer that service and flights oftwn much cheaper than ferry fuel and tolls

I am also looking at the fly options but concerned about the quality of the gear supplied and to go all that way and then be short of something you would have taken had you driven
Really liked a couple of the lakes a long way down into France - 8-9 hours drive but then it's extra time or days getting to and from. I have 5 hours to Dover before I get to France
And if your going to do this then you could look at the lakes in Croatia and Belgium
Have fished lake Chira a few times on day trips in Gran Canaria but did a night one time and never had so many mossies. You ended up zipped in in your bag with the top tipped under and that was after using loads of mossy repellent.
Keep looking at Holland - does anyone know of any good Dutch lakes - Ferry to Rotterdam is 45 minutes for me
