Toilets are half a mile away, which matters on a long session. Carp respond to sweetcorn or boilies fished patiently on the bottom near feeding areas. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try East Reservoir, 1.4 miles away.
