点评:It’s hard not to love this place. The fishing is great, the scenery is something else, and the bailiff is a genuinely nice fella too.
As with anything, winter fishing can be hit and miss, but we still did well. They also provide a trolley for you to use, which was honestly a blessing. Just make sure you’ve had your Weetabix in the morning because it’s not an easy walk with all your gear!
You can buy 25 screw-in pegs from the bailiff for £10, which is cheap enough. They do take their toll on your fingers, but you’re not allowed to bring your own screws and washers—that’s the rule, and we’ve got to respect it. Local food options are spot on: we had something from the kebab house and it was lovely, and McDonald’s is only about 1.5 miles down the road, which becomes very handy. If you’re on the right-hand side of the lake, there’s also a convenience store just a short walk through the housing estate.
Bad points—not many, to be completely honest. However, the toilet situation is something else. I can deal with a port-a-loo when it’s functional, but walking in and seeing the bottom open with the deposits from previous anglers was rough. As mentioned, McDonald’s is down the road—treat yourself to some food and a proper toilet break. Another point is the boardwalk. As you’d expect, it gets slippery, which is fine, but it’s also very mossy. A good scrub with a hard brush would make it much less of a slip hazard.
Overall, this place is brilliant and I will 100% be back. It’s just a shame about the facilities. If they could put in a proper toilet block, it would take the venue to another level.
翻译:很难不爱上这个地方。钓鱼很棒,风景美不胜收,而且管理员人也特别好。
冬天钓鱼难免会遇到一些状况,但我们这次收获颇丰。他们还提供手推车,这真是太方便了。不过早上一定要吃点麦片,因为带着所有装备走过去可不是件轻松的事!
你可以花10英镑从管理员那里买到25个螺丝钉,价格很实惠。用起来确实有点费劲,但是规定不允许自带螺丝和垫圈——我们必须遵守。当地的食物选择也很棒:我们在烤肉店吃了点东西,味道很不错;麦当劳就在1.5英里(约2.4公里)远的地方,非常方便。如果你在湖的右侧,穿过住宅区走一小段路就能到一家便利店。
缺点——说实话,不多。不过,厕所的情况确实有点糟糕。如果移动厕所能正常使用,我还能接受,但走进去看到底部敞开着,满是之前钓鱼者的排泄物,实在让人难以忍受。正如前面提到的,麦当劳就在附近——不妨去吃点东西,顺便好好上个厕所。还有一点是木栈道。不出所料,它很滑,这倒没什么,但上面长满了青苔。用硬毛刷好好刷一下,就能大大降低滑倒的风险。
总的来说,这个地方很棒,我肯定会再来的。只是设施有点差强人意。如果他们能建一个像样的厕所,这个地方的档次就更高了。
