Week 24 Sports
Angling - not exactly the adrenaline pumping, aerobic, high impact, cardiovascular, spectator variety of sport ........ but in the UK, more people are involved in this activity than any other kind, including football (soccer).
Sport England this year has invested £1.8m in its development, and last year 1.5m new licences were issued.
This photo was taken from a boat on the Great Ouse today (16th June) which was apparently the first day of the new season, which is why there were so many fishermen enjoying its tranquil pleasures. This section of the river, we were told, now holds a massive amount of carp which escaped from many of the specially stocked local fisheries nearby, that flooded during the bad weather over the winter months.
