News » New entry to youth fishing ponds
The Sport fishing for youth Trust is constructing a new entry point to the youth fishing ponds at Appleby. The main access is still via the bottom end of Challies Road and then along the track towards the ponds. The new entrance is on the left about 200 metres from the start of the track. This entrance means that users will arrive at the northern end of the youth ponds rather than the southern end. The old entrance was formed when the access to the youth ponds was via River Road and a long track along the edge of the river to the southern end of the ponds.
The new entry should be easy to spot and the “conditions of use” sign is been moved to this entry. The new entry will mean there is a shorter distance for users of the ponds to travel along the track. The track can get major potholes from time to time. This entry will also provide additional car parking.
Work on the new entry should be complete by Friday and the old entry will be closed off for all but pedestrians.
