The timber gazebos in each swim have a small fridge and electric points.......we took George Foreman grills and they worked a treat but you possibly use a small air fryer nowadays......

What are the facilities like on Nap 1 for drive and survive?

Mainly wondering if there's any kind of food prep area, fridges, cooking facilities? It's not clear from the website what they have available for anglers to use

Thanks

He's a grumpy old sod but he's ok. He's more helpful when you're there and he leaves you alone. I think he has possibly had a bit of personal grief so he's potentially less helpful that usual.

A few well aimed lumps of concrete will get them moving about. There are some good fish in there and it's a nicely kept lake.

Forgot to mention that I'd stay away from using particle. Always done better with just boilie and we have always caught well on all of our respective baits (mainline, DNA). One year, we all used madbaits and all struggled but we all struggled on it in the uk as well

Thanks for taking the time to reply mate doesn't sound that great if only one peg ìs producing fish, hopefully things change by October, Barry doesn't seem all that helpful

No idea. A 68 came out of peg 4 this week

Fish strong and to the snags, take lots of bait and use whatever you are confident in. They really aren't fussy.

Ive had 2 sets of mates go out there this year. Nearly all of their fish came out of peg 4. Barry has closed peg 3 and the fish were all in there both weeks. One had 16 fish to mid 50 but everyone else was struggling which is odd because it's a pretty easy water normally.

Be prepared to 'shoo' the fish out of peg 3
