Dave...
The Duchess surprised my chum too. After she left, he said that he never realised that she spoke with an 'Aussie' accent.
On Monday we plan to drag the bridge upstream to it's new home on the flight pond. It is not going to be an easy task but I'm sure it will be great fun. I'm bound to get soaked..... I don't have the luxury of a nice pair of neoprene waders.

I really ought to come clean here. My role in the build largely boiled down to jumping up and down and getting excited whilst whistling the Colonel Bogey march. And I was also in charge of making the coffee, using a pretty neat bush type stove As you say it 'It should last for years' I had never worked with Green Oak before and I was surprised at just how heavy it is. :

Where would we be without Coffee!
Green Oak is bloody heavy when you have a reasonable lump of the stuff to move, best left to the younger members of the team :)

Jenks,
Lovely looking river-I would gladly trade a testicle to be able to fish there!

Its the River Dever, a feeder of the Test and as you say it is lovely. My chum Chris DeCani works really hard to keep it so. As to fishing there, I know that there is a waiting list for the trout fishing. Sadly I'm not a fisherman so I don't know too much about it, but it must be pretty good because the same people seem to have been coming for years. He does have some people come Grayling fishing but I don't know what the arrangement is.

The work barge becomes a bridge again. A satisfactory conclusion to the Saga. I have to say We were both surprised at the relative ease of the operation, and delighted with the result. Now back to the serious business, sourcing logs for winter 20-21.

You will notice that a rod has become available on Chris's bit of the Dever. I don't know what it costs, but I'm sure it wouldn't cost a testicle.
