Well Noel/Lads another great session for sure and what a way to kick of the year, and some cracking thornies + Whiting as well :D . That’s the species list kicked off this year for session no 1 for me - So no complaints here, even if Dan is the Whiting King :lol: . I seem to remember he did the same thing to me at that mark this time last year!!! Jammy git…. :shock:
Anyway a few more pics below and one of the big extremely thornie thornie….!!! :roll:

Roll on the next session…

Great to meet up with you all again inc GF, good crack & banter as always.
