A cache and dash in a layby near a fisherman's hut on the banks of the river Glass where I have often seen anglers waist deep in the water lost in deep contemplation, pitting their wits and casting skills to land the perfect fish.

The Compleat Angler; or, The Contemplative Man's Recreation, first published in 1653, not only describes the technique of angling, but draws a picture of peace and simple virtue that was Izaak Walton's protest against the civil wars taking place at the time. It is the third most frequently reprinted book in the English language after the Bible and the works of Shakespeare.

There is parking for two or three cars in the layby.
