Description

1. Currently the club only has a small section of the LH bank near the footbridge – please study the map carefully.  It is hoped that after the change of ownership of the farm a new arrangement will be negotiated on behalf of S&HAA. This stretch has a good flow and is ideal for trotting a stick float. The depth is about 6-8ft and the bottom is uneven in places.
