Yes mate to the left it is narrower,but when you move to the right(upstream) it is as you say 260yds plus.
Its a great shot for hoying a lead.
Big Malcolm when in his prime was in contention with Paul Kerry and Neil Mackellow in fact I believe was the best at the time.
Thanks for the distance confirmation.
Think it would be a good place to practice for the likes of myself if it`s only that.Ideal too as their aint many people about on the gateshead side...purely for probable crack off`s lol.

Don't shoot the messenger!
Google Earth has the left corner at 200yrds boys. If it's the same spot me and the other other lad are looking at.
I can only hit about half way!
Any chance of any lessons...Mr Chukka and barker

Didnt take you long Peter! haha
Is google earth in yds or metres?? might explain the difference.
If its 200 yds then you might be able to hit the other side! if its metres you might struggle judging by your last trip to NESA !!

cod,cod,cod,that's ok mate,we never used google earth at that time we would have thought it was another planet
.I still go down to this mark to try my new reels and also I enjoy trying to improve my casting.even at my age
.But I didn't like to say I also put a lead over the railings at the left side,but there was a strong north wind and maybe a fluke cast(never did it again).
If you would like any help with your casting That would be no problem to me as I say I'm often there and more than willing to help.
You could send me a pm and I would give you my mb number.

converting meters to yards
converting meters to yards
just a quick way for you lads/lasses to convert meters to yards, all you have to do is take away the first 2 digets of the known meters distance from the distance itself will give you the yardage, couple of examples for you
200m will be approx 180 yards
170m will be approx 153 yards
100m will be approx 80 yards
this is all approximate but it works wih me ad my sniper rifle
