What did folks make of it?
In a way, I was a smidgen disappointed that the locations were quite so far upstream on the Tees. I was rather hoping for something a little closer to Middlesbrough that might be a little more familiar to the coarse anglers amongst us. I appreciate that they will go for the more picturesque areas, but there's plenty between Piercebridge and Yarm that's hardly ugly. Without going as far as they did, there's bits of the Leven that look great, then there's the Swale around Richmond.
However, I did enjoy seeing places I'm familiar with on the programme, even if the closest spot was the Crathorne Arms. It was interesting to see just how far apart the different locations were, when they don't tend to go into too many specifics, it's easy to get the impression that they are all relatively close. Knowing most of the locations you realise that they aren't particularly close at all.
