dorchester casting sunday 19th june
there will be casting this sunday at dorchester. forecast is for a sunnyish day and sw winds 15 - 20 mph so looks good. it will also be a chance to watch Arron tearing himself a second ar**hole trying to get over 200m
with his new TTR
copy of message from John:-
We are casting along Maiden Castle Road in the field on the right at the crossroads.
To get there leave the Dorchester Bypass at the A354 roundabout by the football ground and go towards the town centre, straight on at the mini roundabout (Tesco) and then first left into Maiden Castle Road. Drive along this road for about quarter a mile out into the country side and where you come to a crossroads where a farm track crosses the main highway we will be on the right. Alternatively just follow the Ancient Monument signs for Maiden Castle and when you see a load of cars in a field on the right there we will be.

Re: dorchester casting sunday 19th june
Had fun up at Dorch today, first time up there and was good to meet everyone, I hit 170mtrs with a little wind behind me
, but I was happy with that, hats off to all the get past the 200mtrs, its a bloody long way.
this is a view from 170mtrs back to were the cars are were we cast:

Arron had fun first time on the field with he's TTR, it looks like it hurts:

But he did get some cast's away in the end.

Well done Arron. Thats a loooong way. 170 is pretty good for a first go Dizzy. A lot further than I can go I reckon. Like the vid as well. ouch!

Re: dorchester casting sunday 19th june
Can almost guarantee that will happen after you fluff the swing and abort a cast. You almost try too hard the second time.

Well, I've found a 50meter tape in the garage at this house. Might go out and see if I can reach the end of it
