    More recently, the growth of leisure craft has introduced a new hazard to the inattentive rider. Faced with the lack of mooring points, some vessels are attached to ground spikes or even trees. I've seen a number of ropes stretched across the towpath recently. One at head height amongst folage.

    Just take a small saw with you.........

    Had this had happened to an older person they could have had a heart attack.

    Not sure if he is talking about pushing an angler into the water or shoving a pole in front of a cyclist.

    I'm an Angler, Cyclist and Walker, the order generally depends on the time of year but, the poles around my way are emptying the canals. As are the Armenians, Czechs and Romanians. :D

    On a more serious note though while cycling last Tuesday I ended up in the canal and there wasn't an angler (or anyone else for that matter), in sight. :oops:

    Ended up not just totally submersed but very wet and smelly, oh, also got a badly swollen knee and busted rib/s for my trouble. :cry:

    Wouldn't have got that by fishing considerately :D
    Cheers Nathan.

    Fishermen!! If you want fish that badly, go to Morrisons like normal people !!!. Poncing around in thigh-high rubber wellies, I bet their all perverts.

    Though I bet they know the difference between "their", "they're" and "there".

    Wow. Only 2 pages. Well done, Kev. Though it would have more impact, if you had used the wrap. Yes, I'm an html Nazi as well.

    +2 although most of the fisherman where I used to train were ok. They used to get a bit pissed off during thursday night timetrials but the regulars were used to it and pretty polite. We were on the same stretch 6-7 nights a week so if people turned up and didn't like it they just went somewhere else, it's not like there's a shortage of canals in the midlands.
