I've fished up there before wasn't bad. I like Barwick and Scholes, some nice pubs and nice sorroundings. Very nice.

There used to be a diving board at one point and I remember seeing people swimming about in it too which I found a bit strange seeing as there were some pretty annoyed fisherman

Parents and grandparents from east Leeds! there was only ever one club for me

Closest club to East Leeds is either Castleford or Hunslet.

Bet theres no chance of anyone swimming in there now. It could be a nice place if the council/ Leeds & District Angling Amalgamation we're bothered about it. Theres a good head of fish obviously, thats worth a few bob. Tidy it up, fence round it, £3 to fish there for the day, could work if you ask me.

I wonder if there is that many fish left with all the pollution I suppose they spawn quicker than they die. I havent been up there now since I was about 13 throwing "skimmers" across the water

Let me get this straight. A quarry on the edge of Swarcliffe, Stanks and Whinmoor could be a nice place?

Classy guy you.

Next he’ll be recalling a beach him and his mates used to go to only for it to turn out to be a sand pit!

Let me get this straight, you missed out the nice places of Scholes and Barwick to try prove your point and Yeah it could if you ask me, its not as bad as it used to be and thats just from clearing the litter up. You hardly see any scrotes up there nowadays just the odd idiot who thinks he can fish.

Barwick is a good hours walk away and Scholes is tainted by the chav infested estates mentioned previously.

How'd you work out that Barwick is a good hours walk away? Scholes isn't actually, go up anytime of day and see how rare it is to find a group of yobs.

Born in Bradford, never lived in Leeds.

I love threads like this. They remind me what an unsavoury, opinionated ,offensive and downright rude character Head High Tackle actually is.

You just sooooooo fancy Danny.

What's Danny got to do with this?

Unlike some on here I see a distinct and deliberate seperation between online persona's and the people themselves.

Yes, I do like Danny, I can't stand many of his alter ego's, although I quite liked Chimp and Forumjacker.

Head High Tackle is a Charlie Oscar Charlie Kilo

People from the rough end of Harrogate need not comment.

Yeah, its a physical attraction with me too.

Aye, you got to watch out for the Duchy road mob.

From personal experience walking to school every day. Barwick to Scholes is a twenty to thirty minute walk, less if you know the back way.

You are probably not a dwarf though.

I believe Puig Aubert is familiar with that route.

My ar[is[/ie is like a broken cat flap.

Yes...............yes it is possible to throw up twice in one day
