Before learning to pendulumn cast you need to learn to cast Off the ground. I don't think there are any instructors in the area anymore so the casting day sounds like your best chance of proper instruction. I wouldn't worry to much about distance in the Estuary as you'll get fish close in on most marks (sometimes with 20 yards casts) but distance can help sometimes deepending on the mark. I would be happy to meet up for a session and give what advise I can on fishing at least. I have a how to off the ground cast instruction sheet that I printed from John Holdens site I could pass on. Worthwhile looking at this:
