| Longest walk. I don't know why cider makes me think of stupid questions . Anyway, I was just thinking . What is the longest/most demanding walk anyone has made specifically to get to a fishing location. I'm not talking about going somewhere half way up a mountain and then fishing, I'm on about SPECIFICALLY to fish. Just a thought. __________________ Just remember, not all the heroes died. www.helpforheroes.org.uk     |

| Re: Longest walk. That's not a bad question. I have never really walked any major distance myself, but my friend and i did make a 30mile round trip on a bicycle with our tackle trailers on behind! Now that was a gruelling journey, we thought we weren't going to make it home at a few points. Other than that nothing really comes to mind.  __________________ Copyright © All Rights Reserved.

| Re: Longest walk. Quite a few years ago, when I was younger than my waistline.....I used to fish of carp on the Medway in Kent, betweem Wateringbury and Yalding. It involved carrying everything for a couple of days, about 2 miles, with a couple of steep hills. The reason we did it this way was that it was not safe to leave car in a layby for two nights, also the spot we chose produced a few fish, and there was no light pollution from nearby towns. Downside was the walk back, which involved a gruelling hill, or two. __________________ Ignore the margins at your peril |

| Re: Longest walk. I think we can include self propulsion of any means as I cycled miles and miles as a kid. I think the furthest fishing related push bike ride was 45 miles or so to visit all of glamorgan anglers lakes in a huge loop. Probably the furthest cycled to actually go fishing is probaby 12. __________________ Just remember, not all the heroes died. www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

| Re: Longest walk. For me it was probably this little hike. I've walked further to fish, but never so laden down with tackle.... __________________ "The fish and I were both stunned and disbelieving to find ourselves connected by a line." William Humphrey " |

| Re: Longest walk. I think about a mile to mile and a half. Was in South Wales on holiday and had to park at a railway station and walk through a golf course, and out to a point. Was good for pollack I remember. __________________ Jason - Got the flavour for fishing back! |
