spearing near Manchester, UK?

[spaghetti]

A dear friend of mine (italian) is considering a job offer in Manchester, UK. He asked me to investigate if there's any chance to spearfish anywhere near if he accepts the job. Any inputs?
PS- while we're at it, he's the best, most skilled and most passionate spearo I've been hunting with ever, and the most loyal and helpful buddy. For sure he'd be a great addition to the Uk spearfishing community.

I'm based in Manchester and we have a good freediving group a pool session and do depth in N Wales. We also have a good few spearos, nearly all of them fish in N Wales which is about 2-2.5 hours drive. Its that or brown trout spearing in Blackpool or tesco trolleys in Liverpool :-)

John Moorcroft is your man in Manchester, we just got an Italian spearo join our ranks funnily enough, i'll put them onto this thread. Pastor also fishes in N Wales and knows ...... everyone!!

Soon no fish will be safe :-)

Manchester is cool enough but all the spearing is in North Wales. The roads are pretty good all the way and depending where in Manchester he will be Apneaboy's times of 2-2.5 hours is the maximum to somewhere decent to spear. There is nowhere at all in the Manchester area as from the bottom of Scotland all the way to the East side of North Wales is just mud flats.

Get your mate to check out this map from Colwyn Bay all the way to Cricceth, I will PM you more exact details. Tell your friend that this area is blessed with some of the best spearing in the UK. So living in Manchester he will get all the benefits of shops/night-life etc but also within easy driving distance of one of the most beautiful parts of the UK. If he comes I will be more than happy to buddy up with him and show him around etc, any friend of yours is welcome with us.

thanks guys, I had no doubt you'd be there to help!
I'll forward your advise and links to my friend. Then he'll take his decision about the job and I'll put you in contact in the case. BTW: he's a plastic/reconstructive surgeon (free penis enlargement anyone? ).

[Pastor]

He'd be hard pressed to make a bigger p...k out of me

I remember whem my wife said she would only marry me if I had an 8 inch penis, but I told her, I wouldn't cut 2 inches off the end for anyone.

But for what concerns my...hmm....case, just guess why I call that guy "my dearest friend, the most helpful ever"....

The Yorkshire coast might also be worth a look too. Yorkshiremen are famously gung ho for most activities (climbing, caving, SCUBA, angling, horse racing, cricket,...) but I've only come across one spearo up there so far (& even then technically north of Yorkshire), so perhaps the vis. is bad. I was just reading about the rod fishing there this morning and it sounds rather good.

I wonder if the opening for a plastic surgeon has anything to do with the BBC moving a chunk of their programming up there?! I was going to suggest that he looked for somewhere nearer to the south coast but Manchester's need is probably greater than ours.

If its Yeti the freediver he travels to N Wales from Yorkshire too.

[Spaniard]

North Wales it is then! Amico mio, tell your friend to relocate to South West Coast if at all possible.......I'm sure Pastor will swap a spearing session for a bigger c**k, I know I would, ha, ha

Nice wedding prezzie for her mate............
