I'm baffled why somebody would post on a internet forum for all to see, that something is a scam. It's bordering on liable. You obviously know nothing about it, but that doesn't stop you making entirely false claims about somebody else's business - as in their livelihood! Why?!?

For the record, Crabtree Pool definitely isn't a scam. I have no links at all to the owners, but I was fishing there with a couple of mates last weekend. It's a very pleasant little pool, immaculately kept. Not the easiest water, but then not the hardest either. Despite bloody difficult weather conditions (8 degrees C mid morning on 15th June, combined with torrential rain!) we managed a few between us to low 20's. It's a perfectly nice carp water.

To be fair to Wychwood, after 3 weeks they have got back to me today and are sort of sorting it out. Well, they're sending me some sealant and a few freebies. Not ideal, but if the sealant (Aquasure) stops the leak I guess it's better than binning what is otherwise a brand new brolly.

Sorry to resurrect this, but I've just had the displeasure of buying a Wychwood HDMR mkII system. On first use it leaks from the seam on the rib where the plastic retainer clip for the short storm pole is so water either drips on your head or feet. I sent it back, got a refund and bought another one elsewhere as I like the design of the whole thing. Lo and behold, the second brolly leaked in exactly the same place. Wychwood don't want to know - told me I just must be incredibly unlucky (maybe it was karma for owning a Fox supabrolly that was fine for years and years. It's probably repairable but it's not the point, 2 brand new brollies both leaked the first night they were put up from exactly the same place. Think I'll just bite the bullet and go Trakker or something.
