Coming down to Folkestone Pier tomorrow (early) for some piece and quiet!
Anyone fancy coming from the London area, can always offer a lift for some petrol contribution!

Just got back to London!
Had a good day, Morning was nice and calm hardly any wind and not to cold. Got on the pier around 7am and within 10min and a good size codling!
Have a picture on my mobile (will post in later) and will weigh it to see the weight.
After that just whiting and pouting.....a total of 9 fish for the day.
The afternoon got a bit more windy and the tide was really stong, no matter where I cast within 1 min it was slammed into the pier!
Lost a fair amount of gear! 
But a nice relaxing day!
