Off the rocks at Tra-na-Rossan might be worth a go. Near to where you're staying at any rate.

Have to agree. Certainly a lot of stamping up and down hills to get to some of the marks....

..Maybe ive give to much info away already

Mebbe. :? I was going to edit out the precise details on your posting to protect the mark, but then again I thought that if anyone really really wants to go yomping all over those hill, good luck to them! :D It certainly aint going to be like parking up on a pier and fishing out of the back of the car boot.

That one's for dedicated hillwalking anglers only, methinks! :P

Nobody will ever find it in a million years its one for the rucksaks, first aid kits etc etc :shock: .....Do you know the mark? it even has a name.....going to keep it secret for a while....Maybe one for the shoremarks.....i'll be bringing the digi camera just for prove if anything special turns up.....had flounder the left ogf the big rock on the beach before


There is an easier way to get to the mark which involves no hill climbing at all.....although that involves scary looking swans, cow dung, sheep dung etc etc....
