10/5/25
10am until 12:20
My daughter and her friend needed a taxi to the metro centre, there was a work party (not like that) at Tilcon. I saw an opportunity.
I dropped the girls and arrived at the lake just after 10am, the work was due to start at half past. When some other members arrived, we started to empty the container. A near hit with a plank of wood and only my sun glasses got knocked off my head!!
Whilst some built shelves, me and Mark headed off to fell some trees and tidy up the back of some pegs to allow poles to be shipped back without the potential for damage.
Mark was a pro with the chainsaw. Making light work of felling the dead tree. I was going to take a pic or video, but something made me stop!!
Of course, we were allowed to, and responsible!
Soon, it was time to pick the girls up. I left the party, agreeing to return for some Wednesday evening parties in due course.
Date fished 11/5/2025
8.30am until 11.30am
I arranged to fish the local lake in Hexham, Wydon Water. I was hoping the tincas had woken from their winter slumbers.
Having older kids is great. I was able to leave them to go to choir, sort themselves out and I popped out for a few hours before it got too hot.
The same tactics as Tilcon, I was hoping for a tench. A few knocks on the ledger but nothing materialised. Martha arrived and we sat together and chatted, mostly about the ducklings and if she could steal one!?!
We moved to another swim and tried our luck.
By 11.30 it was red hot, we decided to head home for chicken kiev wraps. Would of preferred duck pancakes, but all ducks were left on the lake!
