Having not been out of the bung for ten days now as the infection rate on the Rock has been through the roof i suddenly got the urge,so out with the frozen squid and sandeel wraps to defrost,charged up my headlight,checked over all the gear,all good,tonight my local beach just 10 mins walk,5 by motor and park it in the road outside some houses.My little spot is hidden behind a landslip so nobody can see me...totally hidden from view,all good so far.I`ve also wear dog tags with my full name and dob and my wifes name and phone number on them just in case i fall in the sea (yeah it has happened before
).
Now i`m not going as whilst eating tea i read of a poor lady who had a fall yesterday on Tennyson Down exercising her dog and breaking her leg, she waited five hours for an ambulance and that`s the reason i`m not going,why?,because if i had slipped and broken my leg it would have taken an ambulance a hell of a time to find me and get to me which then diverts the said ambulance away from someone else who may be on deaths doorstep through my own selfish action to try and catch fish in as we all know one of the barren times in the fishing calender.So the baits gone back in the freezer and the gear returned to it`s rightful place.Now the reason for this thread is to gauge what others think...i`m not here to and i won`t judge people for their comments as each person is in a different position but i feel i have done the right thing...at least i hope so,thanks for reading...Alan.
