Hi will, I always remember you in the Solent on that really choppy day with the Wilson flyer looking like one of those cheese cutter park rides ! Welcome back

Happy birthday Al Have a good one and hope you put the present to good use

Have to get out before the op. I hope it goes well. Come on Neo, catching fish is a problem even without a shoulder problem !

PJ, Try telling Helen that !! We have been sitting around Tommos and not seen any otters at all yet. Mind you not seen any beaver either !

I don't remember it being on the news, but I do remember it being discussed along with the whereabouts of the resident beavers .....

It's not a harbour it's two rivers

Happy birthday Bob and Alun.

Sounds like a fantastic trip Kam and quite exhausting as well. Superb write up as well. Thanks for sharing with us.

Most of the harbour requires a permit to fish ( catch and release ) and also a rod licence. There is only a small part which can be fished without a licence. FWIW Many of the species and one fish of the month that I am aware of have come from well up harbour and in the "good old days" we used to catch our 4 mullet for the species comps whilst steaming from Wick.

Lofty, I have a pack of flares which are 3 years out of date. Was going to take to the tip ( or wherever you take them to dispose of ). You are welcome to them.

Graham, I would be up for that, depending on the date and any work commitments ( I am on a course on the 20th July I think ).

So who is going to volunteer to have the treble hook embedded ?? !!

I guess it will be similar to sowley, here there are cables running across the Solent in a trench ?

The cable is going to come ashore at Taddiford. I guess the sole fishing will be naff while work is ongoing ..... -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Sir/ Madam, We are writing to inform you that Navitus Bay has revealed the location for the onshore underground cable route that would transfer power generated offshore from the proposed Navitus Bay offshore Wind Park into the national grid. The proposed wind park would generate enough clean energy to power up to 820,000 homes.* The 35km underground route is proposed to run from the landfall point at Taddiford Gap, between Barton-on-Sea and Milford-on-Sea, to one of two substation locations close to West Moors and Three Legged Cross, near the Mannington grid connection. The two potential substation sites are being reviewed and the chosen site will be unveiled at public exhibitions in the autumn. The dates of these public exhibitions will be publicised on the Navitus Bay website in advance. We have carefully evaluated the nature of the area, its environmental and engineering constraints and our specific technical requirements, and have consulted with landowners, local authorities and statutory nature conservation bodies about the proposals. We believe that the route we have chosen is the best possible option. Every effort has been taken to avoid sensitive sites and our continuing focus will be on minimising the environmental impact of the works. The route would consist of cable circuits buried underground by opening individual trenches and laying cables, with a voltage nominally up to 275kV, either directly into the ground or into ducts at a depth of approximately 1.5m. When construction is complete, the trenches would be returned to their original state allowing access and farming to resume. In some cases the cables may be drilled underground. The final design of Navitus Bay Wind Park will be determined only after comprehensive consultation with the public and relevant organisations throughout the formal consultation period of the project. This will last until the end of 2013. If you would like more information about the cable route, future public exhibitions or the proposed Navitus Bay Wind Park, please visit our website at www.navitusbaywindpark.co.uk. Alternatively, you can contact us at either of the addresses below. By post to: Navitus Bay, 3 Athena Court, Athena Drive, Tachbrook Park, Warwick CV34 6RT. Or by email to: info@navitusbay.com Kind regards, Chris Sherrington Project Director, Navitus Bay

Its even coded with enough people to play 5 a side

Sorry Bob

Thought this was post about the EGM !!

Nice one Martin and mark. I would have joined you but had family over. Good to see mark hasn't lost his touch:)
