Really enjoyable read right up until the point I realised I could never make one.... Superb net.

Had the good fortune to actually see this net last week . What was supposed to have been a a 3 hour trip ended up being 8 hours !!M4 knackered on the way there and also on the way back , arrived home at 1pm :Cursing:
Despite this setback it was worth the trip to meet the man , albeit a brief cuppa and chat but interesting all the same . This net is pure class and one to be proud of , built with a careful hand and faithful to the original .
