Thumbs up Hello

Hi, My name is Nick and I am a wheelchair angler.....I have been fishing for 50yrs and love it so much that some of my mates gave me the idea to encourage more disabled or less able anglers to go back to fishing, so I am travelling round the country promoting the Buddy System if you see a motorhome with "The Buddy Bus" plastered all over it drop by and say hi...if you see me on the road wave or flash your lights it will help keep me going.

Thanks

Nick
