made myself something similar last year, if you tie sliding knots of bright coloured strands of wool every 5meters on the reel braid it really helps to see what's going on with your line when its up high, if you leave tails around 15mm it will still peel off the reel fine. also if you can find any of the black theratube elastic similar to what they use on bigshots that thing will breeze 90-100 meters with 3oz of lead! but up the breaking strain of the braid to 30kgs because if you stop the line by accident or the bail arm closes you'l crack the lead off every time. sometimes see the elastic go through ebay.

There's a bit been done by the goggin with timber stacked at roadside but thats somebody else, dont think there's much going on around the estate after last years thin out.

if you let me know when its being organised for i could get permission from the estate manager for you all to have a walk round all the woodland a gatley as well. and dont forget the large beech and hornbeams on top of croft ambrey fort.

Some of the nicest trees at croft are on the top of the hill around croft ambrey hill fort. There's a hornbeam that's jumped a fence!! it fell over rolled 20+ meters down the hill re-rooted and carried on growing. If you walk up through the fishpool valley and carry on up to the top of the hill then bare to the left the hill fort starts there where the croft estate borders gatley park. i live on the gatley side and its only a 5min walk from home. lovely place
