Casting tuiton in the Merseyside area

**Johny_mc** · 20-02-2007, 13:10

Has anyone in the Merseyside area been for casting lessons? If so I was wondering how they found it, what did they do, how much it cost and where did they go. I am really keen to get the best out of my Abu Esprit and 6500 mag elite. I still get the occasional crack off / birds nest and am not casting the distance that I should be able to. Any advice would be much appreciated. TIA - John

Hi John,
4th March North West Surfcasting starts at Cockerham, get down there and see the likes of the Penetrator and all the other BIG hitters in action. Sure to pick up some great tips. Casting instructors are there as well so come along and enjoy a the day.

Thanks for the info, what time does it start and where about in Cockerham is it? I have had a look at the map and it is only an hour away from Liverpool so I think it would be a few hours well spent.

Exit junction 33 M6

At the roundabout take the first left

After 1.1 miles turn right into Cockerham road

After 1.6 miles turn right at the ‘T’ junction

After 500 yards turn left at the ‘T’ junction towards Pilling/Blackpool

After approx 2 miles Sand Villa Farm is on the left and you turn right onto a track just past the

farmhouse.

This is the front field and the one we use most of the year,

Cheers, I'll be there barring any more injuries. I've done my back doing bent over rows. Hopefully It'll be ok by the 4th.

How much does it cost for membership or is it pay as you cast ?
