hang on here firstly I never said anglers shouldn't be there I agree they have as much right as cyclists I am perfectly willing to wait while they move their gear and I asked a legitimate question as to why they need a large pole blocking the towpath, my problem comes from 3 or 4 times today coming across anglers blocking path with poles and gear who REFUSED point blank to even consider moving anything. even though they were blocking the whole width of the towpath most even though I was being reasonable and POLITE at the time refused to even speak or make any effort whatsoever. Although I will admit that anglers who cycle may have a better idea about this. As it happens I do on accasion stop at a certain stretch of locks, the same guy is there every sunday on the piece of ground between locks facing the center of the canal hes the first to say hi every time I see him. Don't think for a minuite every angler is ignorant because most aren't but lets face it a fair few are. and just to put point across I never go faster than walking pace past anglers or dog walkers but I do expect the same courtesy
