It was the first day of the season today at my local sailing club so I loaded my yak and off I went to get some much needed practice in. Here are a few photo's to show you how beautiful it is up at Saddleworth in the Pennines.
















I might not live by the sea but this almost compensates for it. ;D ;D ;D

Kerny, me and my mates used to go trekking up indians head on a sunday morning to clear our hangovers after a wild night out in oldham,the Grapes Hotel on Yorkshire st was our starting point..Theres a tunnel up there under the rock ,we used to walk through its about a third of amile long if I remember right.Aaaah them were the days???

[davidbennett]

do you sail down there as well?
do you ever fish it?
i ve caught 2lb brownies on fly

[kerny]

Hi bassnasty and Dave, I sail it on some occasions with a mate of mine but I mainly paddle it on my yak to keep up my paddle fitness. No I don't fish it although I did as a kid, I know there is trout in there and I have also been told that there is carp in there too, but Im not sure how true that is. I do see people fish for brownies on the fly, but you do need a license, not sure from who though. The Grapes Hotel I know it well, I used to booze in there in the late 70s and the Radcliffe which is now knocked down. Good old days. ;D ;D ;D

Indians head local land mark that won't go away, unlike a hangover l.o.l. ;D ;D
