If you are in East Anglia this looks like an interesting day out, http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/cambridgeshire/hi/people_and_places/nature/newsid_8789000/8789159.stm
Last chance to see a piece of a bygone era.
Happy trails...torc.

P.S.
Sorry, apparently Outwell is in Norfolk and not Cambridgeshire.

Looks lovely though.

P.P.S.
This may be in the wrong sub-forum.

Sorry for posting this again but I noticed the low view count and could not help worrying about having posted it in the wrong forum. I think this is an opportunity that must not be missed.

I'm sure I've seen him on tv before, it was some cooking program I think and they went to him when they were sourcing eels.

I'm fairly sure it was a Time Team program where he was using traditional traps.(?)
