I used to fish Newbiggin/Sandybay cliff regularly back in the mid 80s alot of good fish when a sea is running,but the obvious problem of landing them.Seen a lot of good fish snap the line on the haul up,but the guys would hang around for low water to collect them all be it bruised after the fall.

yes paula it looks great up there
its a bit of a hike though
how long drive is it

[Paula]

hi sless,
it is about 5 hours drive from edinburgh if that helps.
i think it used to take us about 2 hours to edinburgh from gateshead when we visited afriend there.
it is really easy sless, and it would be great to see you
