Flights
You can book flights yourself, of course. Flights can also be booked by us, or by the anglers directly.
When we book the flights, we charge you the exact cost based on the bill we receive from Ryanair, which we will forward to you. This avoids us carrying the cost of late bookings caused by delays in paperwork.
We will no longer book flights within 5 weeks of the departure date — this puts the responsibility on the angler to book in good time. We will of course provide the flight numbers and necessary information.
In a nutshell, anglers can save money most of the time: the average cost of flights is around £180 when booked at the appropriate time, except during summer holidays and school holidays, when flights can get significantly higher. They can average between £300 and £550 if booked late (i.e. within 5 weeks of departure).
Baggage sizes — Small Bag free (under seat); Cabin and Checked bags for purchase. 2027 flight times are listed under Ryanair flights 2027 above.
Bookings & contact
Requests via WhatsApp to Phil +33 6 88 60 66 43 or by email to brittanymilllakes@gmail.com.
For all bookings the deposit is mandatory within the week of booking and is non-refundable except for medical reasons (certificate).
We recommend bank card payments for each individual angler, as this gives the opportunity to claim reimbursement if problems arise. We will issue the invoice as proof for your bank insurance.
We will of course accept bank transfer and group payment, but want you to be aware of the risk involved in the event of late cancellations, whereby reimbursements will not be made.
Catch photo guide — Mill Lake & Cadouzan
We’re building a proper stock record for both lakes. A clear photo helps us recognise individual carp (especially mirrors) and improve the fishery for everyone.
Please send us for each fish:
- Daylight photo — fish out of the water, full left flank visible
- Ideally also the right flank
- Lake: Mill or Cadouzan
- Peg number
- Weight
- Type: mirror / common / leather / other
Please avoid: night flash only, hands covering the mid-flank scales, half-submerged shots.
Send via WhatsApp (+33 6 88 60 66 43) with a short line like:
Cadouzan peg 4 | Mirror | 42lb
Thanks — it really helps us map the stock on each lake.
