All rods fishing the water are strongly recommended to wear eye protection and a life jacket at all times and particularly if you cannot swim. If you do not have your own please ask at the time of booking.
2. POTENTIAL HAZZARDS:
Fishing anywhere and especially in cold conditions carries a higher than normal degree of risk. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are medically fit and sufficiently experienced and/or skilled for an unsupervised activity of this type and you must inform us immediately if you have any concerns in this respect or you have any condition we should be aware of that might give rise to a greater than normal degree of risk. Please remember alcohol in any quantity significantly increases your risk of accident, hypothermia and drowning.

All cars must park in the car park. Please do not block the gates.
