Welcome back sipper and welcome to TA
You have one commercial thats superb just North of you in Ely its called High Flier after the race horse that was alledgedly from the same farm, its a 32 peg lake opens are wednesdays saturdays and sundays, right now you need in excess of 300lb to win and the backing weights are superb,
To leave Dorking must have been a hard decision, I left fishing 9 years back and started again last month things have changed a lot with methods and bait but the fundementals remain the same.
poles are better the days of struggling with a 14.5 metre pole are long gone and most can be fished at 16 with ease
I found that all the old rigs still work its just the bait is now mostly from the supermarket and Liddel is now my best freind
Im from North London we have probs passed along the way, maybe at willow or gold where I used to spend a lot of time.
