Once all the fellow fishers were there, we made our way for Whitehills. Stopping at the top for a quick air down, before procee

The last time was in the winter when track conditions were quite wet. We started off at the BP servo The Lakes. When all were assembled, we headed off towards Inkpen Road where we aired down the tyres. The Cannon decided that it was time to do a DPF burn so we had to wait a few minutes. As before the
