12 miles. 1hour. Greenham to Newbury loop and back to Newbury.

Wow, that hill is huge. Just stopped off for a banana . I'm sitting in a field of yellow stuff. Smells quite nice. Oh well must plod on.

It starts by casting in your line then sitting back and waiting.... And Waiting.... ... and waiting... and waiting... Until finally... We catch a fish... Not a very big fish, but as the sun begins to go down it's a fish worth catching... All 20grams of him.. Happy Days. Only took 3 Hours.. There were more... These didn't take an age to catch though!

Never mind I'm sure it will come good. Looking ahead to the rest of the year there are still some...
