Did he take down his photos or are they no longer visible because of where they were hosted?
Anyway, I hope he gets to know we are all thinking of him ❤

Sad to hear about Ken's circumstances. Really enjoyed Ken's writings on France and bait. Shared a bit of a laugh a few years ago about his alter ego, Tony Wenkle!

Here's wishing Ken all the best. He was one of the first anglers I looked up to through his early writings in Carpworld, Nutrabaits annual bait catalogue etc. On College resi and Par fishponds with his wife Carol and the like. His knowledge on bait is second to none. Let's hope The Salty sea dog keeps on keeping on..

It's very sad. If you do Faceache Kens profile isn't private.
I just hope he's coping, it doesn't bare thinking about, though I can imagine him fighting it all the way.
Thinking of you.

Really gutted to hear that Ken is ill. I hope he gets better soon.
He has probably forgotten more than I have ever known about carp fishing. Man is an absolute legend in the carp fishing industry.

Ken is an absolute legend in carp fishing. I have the utmost respect for him. So sorry to hear that he has been unwell. Followed his advice and always looked forward to reading ANYTHING he published.
He is missed for sure.
Thank you for your input and help Mr Townley.

Ken has been ill,..plus coupled with his dislike of modern carp fishing ,he doesn't post on here any longer..
Up till recently we kept in touch ,but not heard anything lately,I know a lot of people hold him in high regard as I do ,not only is he the ultimate bait brain ,he's also the godfather of carping in my county..
He offered me his kit ,that's all im prepared to say ...

Mr Magoo is still about , fished waterside with him in march. Too bloke. Rivers I believe has all but given up carp fishing after moving away from Herts.

I always wonder what happened to Ken Townley.
Absolute legend and his knowledge on Particles was second to none.

Rivers was a top fella. Loved reading his posts from the sidelines. Also Magoo. Not Familiar With Dean. aka (Elephant man)
Lots come and go and I would suspect are looking in from the sidelines. Probably more than we know.

I was just thinking about some old regular posters that disappeared.
1, Mr - Magoo fantastic knowledge of old skool carping and a friend of Kevin Ellis .
2, River was a lovely bloke with a knowledge of fishing rivers abroad
3, Dean aka elephant man just disappeared
