Latest news...
A lot of you will know this has been in the pipeline for a while. I have sold the Pegasus and this weekend coming will be my last weekend. After that she will have a new home. Any bookings after the 3rd November will have to be cancelled and any monies payed will be refunded. I will be shutting this page down in a week or so. I would like to thank everyone for your custom and many happy memories over the years. Hopefully I’ll see you again soon with a rod in my hand!
All the best
Lewis
