Roger be careful on the East Coast :D . Make sure your feet are well and truly planted in the ground and you are secured to a heavy object ,,,,also never loosen your grip on the rod as it can be gone in an instant (ask Neil Brown :oops: ). Oh and one other thing,,,,,,you're not in Limerick now so keep your van in sight at all times :roll:
