One of my snowboarding buddies was there with some of his footage of Canda and New Zealand. His comment was, "Lycra, lycra everywhere man!"

Seems the mountain bikers/runners etc had a monopoly on the place.

no, didn't cross my radar.
Noted from the web page that it was just 2 people running it, and they noted that publicity could be improved

Do you think this event might have any mileage next year from a fishing point of view?

If so, what would you like to see there?

Cheers

Less Lycra  :z4

Basically as big a range of fishing tackle as possible. Maybe a casting area where you could try before you buy. I'm sure we can help with the publicity.

Get a casting pool in there..plenty of space indoors for one!

Angling really does need to promote itself, and that is all sides of angling. There is normally good representation from the Salmon side of things but people forget that sea and Pike anglers flock to Scotland each year too.
