There won't be any half price trips being offered.
On current form it does seem hard to believe there's 400+ fish in there though.
I've done some searching though and the place does get booked up week in and week out and has very some very satisfied customers.
I mean Mally doesn't have to run trips here, there's loads of other places he could go.
But I know what you're getting at and I haven't made up my mind yet, I'm sure we'll get a better idea by the end of the year :lol:


surely not even worth half price....especially when you have to take ya garden tools aswell....mind you more use than taking ya anglin rods.. :thumbsup_anim:

Perhaps he should try his foil wrapped boilie.


Good idea. :thumbsup_anim:
Tell him to make sure he's using stainless banksticks as well, I know he's on a platform but sometimes you just have to make that special bit of effort. :lol:

Food is very northern. In other words it's heavily meat and deep fried driven

Quote from Bob Joss.



I'm sure if you had a word with Mally in advance he'd sort you out.
One thing that he says he doesn't want is anyone going hungry, he does have a tendancy to take far too much food with him, so much that he cooks loads more than necessary and still has uncooked left at the end of the week. That's not a complaint by the way I'm just trying to get over that he's not stingey.
The other thing is that as long as you keep the kitchen tidy you can use it at anytime.
He'll take you to the local supermarket a couple of times a week so he could do you a light breakfast and then you could do yourself a snack at lunchtime.
Totally different way of doing things than at LQ, make yourself tea/coffe at anytime of the day, buy your own drinks and keep them in the fridge. Just make sure you tidy up after yourself :rolleyes:

Sounds the correct comment, go with the northerners and you get deep fried fat with everything!


Seems to be fishing hard, mind you there are a lot of people that go to Utopia and just struggle, 5 fish so far this week, well look at the standard of angler currently there :rolleyes: need I say more :Tongue:
