2015 - CES 3

Alan L was next up with CES 3 which he undertook on Tuesday the 2nd of June. The weather at the lake was much better than at home and than the forecast indicated which is often the case at Llangorse, the forecast was not looking good but Tuesday was the only day he could do and he was delighted that Ron kindly made the long drive from the inner depths of Bristol to wrestle with net poles and broken guys.

The odd shower was enough to keep checking the nets more often as and when they blew in but not enough to get wet doing a net round, underfoot it was definitely a wellie day! The grass had grown and plenty of thin branches being wet & heavy were interfering with all nets. The bare minimum was cut back as time allowed but "tis the season of growing" and with this weather the growth will take off. Brambles are not yet a problem but will soon take over if left, so if anyone (trainees) hiding in the background can spend an hour with a secateurs it all helps to keep things running smoothly.

The catch wasn't spectacular but was better than might have been expected given the forecast. It is detailed below:
