Hi Derek,

Thanks for the info. I took a look at the weekend while the missus was
running round Tesco! I couldn't see the gravel bar you mentioned.
Walking upstream on the south bank, I came first to a right-hand bend
with a sandy bank, then a footbridge, then a small island, then the
weir. I saw some small trout just upstream of the footbridge, and a
Kingfisher. Where is your gravel bar in relation to those things?

TIA
Nick
Its possible the bar may have washed out since I havent been down this
season but if you drive down to the car park at the end of the gravel track
go through the line of trees to the left and make a right turn as you reach
the river as you walk upstream there is a gap in the trees of about 50 yds
before you reach the line of trees overhanging the water you should be able
to spot the bar if its still there .The bank was about 6 feet above the
water but it is possible to scramble down through the balsam plants

you can see the gap in the trees on this aerial photo the white V line is
the footpath out of the carpark the area you mentioned is a hundred yards or
so upstream
good luck
Derek
