I managed about an hour on Sunday at Platt Fields in Fallowfield despite the freezing cold and strong winds, the wind was that strong at times that there were small waves on the lake - not conducive to good practice.
Wednesday saw me up on the River Ribble near the Aspinall Arms for a double session with my mentor. Double handed first for 2 hours, again it was absolutely freezing especially as I was stood in the water this time. Gusting downstream wind and squally snow showers were the conditions for the morning session.
Quick break for lunch and a very warm drink, I thought my toes had fallen off they were that cold.
Now the Single Handed APGAI session started with Chris. Conditions looked at one point as though they may be improving but we were just lulled into a false sense of security, the clouds rolled in and the snow showers came again. The winds hardly reduced all day so it made the casts interesting to say the least but you never know what you may get on the day. Session finished soup & sandwich and hot coffee called for.
Sunday and it was back to Platt Fields, weather was a lot better this time, bright blue skies to start with even though it was still cold. A good session with the double handed rod but still room for improvement.
