****Santa & Angelina's Star Performance****

'You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why, because Santa Claus (and 1000's of friends) are coming to town!'

On Sunday 9th December 2007, The Great English Riviera (commonly known as Torbay) is open to absolutely everyone and will see 1000s of people dressed in Santa suits running/walking/staggering/skipping along the seafront of Torquay. Everyone is invited including you to take part in the biggest seasonal charity event to ever take place on the English Riviera. Forget the running on bulls in Pamplona - we will be having the running of the Santa's in Torbay, South Devon! Raising money for the charity 'When You Wish Upon A Star' - a fantastic organisation that makes dreams come true for children with life threatening illnesses from around the UK.

To take part it really is quite straightforward wherever you may be. It costs just £10 for adults (over 15) to enter, which includes your Santa suit and a medal at the end. Santa's Little

Helpers (under 15) can also take part. For just £5 entry, they get a Christmas hat to run in and receive a medal at the end. All profits go to 'When You Wish Upon A Star' Charity.

Possibly a little far to travel for the day - why not book up tickets to see Angelina's Star Performance at the Princess Theatre, Torquay ( http://www.princesstheatre.org.uk/ ) and make a weekend of it! And if you still have Christmas Shopping to do there are plenty of wonderful shops to choose your nearest and dearest gifts, with the Dartington Centre definitely being the first port of call.

Book a short break in one of our luxury self-catering cottages here at Newbarn Farm for the weekend of the Santa Run and participate and we will deduct the entry fee of the event from the cost of your stay and donate this to the charity. Book any other dates before Christmas and we will donate 5% of your booking fee to 'When You Wish Upon A Star' Charity, quoting Ref:SCR12.

Christmas Shopping

Christmas at Newbarn Farm

I don't know about you but at this time of year I come out in a cold sweat - just thinking about all that Christmas shopping and having to locate the best tasting Turkey sometimes gets a little too much!

Do you sometimes feel the same? Do you still have a ton of Christmas preparation to do? If the answer is yes to either of the above questions - we may just be able to help.

For as little £172 for a weekend break (3 nights) or £260 for a full week, you could treat your loved one to a fantastic holiday in a beautiful rural retreat here at Newbarn Farm in South Devon. Torbay commonly known as the English Riviera is less than 10 minutes away by car - with plenty of things to do and fantastic restaurants for gourmet meals or a light lunch! Or simply take in the abundance of fresh air at the farm - take gentle strolls through 42 acres of pasture and woodland, read a novel or two. Just unwind and relax in one of South Devon's most peaceful and tranquil locations.

And for those who like a spot of coarse fishing we can offer you so much more - not just a holiday but a 'FISHING HOLIDAY'. One day's coarse fishing for £6.00, a three day ticket for £16 and for a full week just £40. For any keen carp anglers out there, I'm sure you will agree a fishing holdiay or short break would make an ideal gift. And for those who live in the locality why not buy a copy of your loved ones favourite angling magazine and pop a three, five or seven day fishing ticket inside and gift wrap ready to put under the Christmas tree.

These tickets can be used on any day of the year on any lake (unless a lake has been closed for a match) and will be valid for a full year.

Happy Christmas Shopping!

Catherine

Spoding for Devon fishing at Newbarn Farm Selfcatering Cottages and Angling Centre

Spoding

Spoding is a method where you can set a bed of bait at a long distance quite useful on all types of lake. A useful tool when you have time to prepare your swim, limited for fishing tournaments, used favourably at Devon’s Newbarn Farm Cottages and Angling Centre for Carp fishing, all in all a very useful fishing tip.

The Spod is shaped like a rocket and is weighted at one end so that when it hits the water it will turn up and release the bait.

The preferred baits for the Spod are particle baits, such as Sweet corn, Hemp, Pellet, Maggots etc.

The idea of the Spod is to fill the Spod with what ever you like, cast to an area and continue to do so until you have developed a bed of ground bait and then proceed to fish on top with preferred hook bait.

At Newbarn Farm Cottages and Angling Centre the method is used and will bring fish on to the feed. Some prefer to use bait boats, saying that you can be concise everytime with a bait boat, against casting a spode, sometimes complaining about the cost of spode tackle. We think that if casting inaccuracy is a problem you probably should be using the spode more and improving your casting, home made spodes are not expensive and can easily be made out of crafted, small water bottles, remember a spode cast is not a strange, expensive piece of electronic equipment. We will come onto bait boats later when we bring you more fishing tips.

Here is an example of an additive that is available for your Spod, but don’t forget your own concoctions can be more fun to research and sometimes amazingly effective. The description below is Sensas description, not mine.

Sensas Carp Spod Booster - Salty Sauce

Spod boosters increase the effectiveness of any spoding mix by adding nutritional feed inducing signals. By adding to both the pre soaked spod mix and the soaked spod mix these spod boosters will constantly leak off a complex of high mineral feed inducing signals over a greater period encouraging investigatory responses from cruising carp.

Also add spod boosters to both groundbaits and method mixes to again increase the effectiveness of the bait mix. When used as a spod additive it is impossible to over load the spod boosters into the mixes but 50ml to a kilo of mix is a good starting point.
The spod boosters can be used straight from the pot as a rig dip or put straight into a solid PVA bag for liquid baiting.

Salty Sauce- is a liquid feed additive primarily based on the mineral content in both salt variants and molluscs within the lake environment. It is often noted that carp are seen picking up and sucking stones and pebbles present within certain areas of the lake, these often transpose into catching hot spots. This is due to the carp attempting to find and ingest essential salts and minerals for the necessary growth and reconstruction process. Carp find salt and minerals by the change in water PH around the necessary salts and minerals, now we have it in a bottle. An accelerated PH adjuster.

And there are many more.

This should be a useful Devon fishing tip for carp fishing and some fishing tournaments, so get out your fishing license and go fishing.

Have a go and see how you get on

TIME TO TAKE A BREAK

With the autumn nearly upon us, it looks like the summer is about to say a final farewell by providing some beautiful sunny days. So there is still time to make the most of the weather with a late break. Holidays are a great opportunity to carry out those trips and activities we have been dreaming about at work.

Living at Newbarn Farm, here in South Devon means we are spoilt for choice for activities. Packing a picnic, towels, bucket and spade and heading of to the beach remains a firm favourite with the majority of us. It is never too late here in the Torbay area to take to the water - whether fishing, water-skiing, sailing, canoeing and whatever takes your fancy really!

Those of you who prefer to keep your feet dry have lots of other options. Great days out include some of the magnificent houses, gardens and grounds open to the public here in South Devon, going for a stroll in forests or woodland, or even jumping on the saddle of your bike and going on a cyle ride all of which you can do from your base here at Newbarn Farm. You could take a gentle stroll around our 6 fishing lakes, put your feet up and relax, perhaps with a good book or even just have a gentle snooze in the self catering cottage of your choice.

Here at Newbarn Farm we can offer you the freedom to do just as you please for your late break away this year. All you have to do is book and you can be sure a relaxing time lies ahead!

Selfcatering South Devon Catch Report

http://selfcateringcottages.blogspot.com/google9ae923ee60002300.html

Hi Everyone

I have attached last weeks catch report for our Selfcatering Holiday Cottages
Don't forget to ask the lads about fishing tournaments, fishing tips, carp fishing and fishing licenses.


























Here is a little article on fishing stalking from Darren

Stalking

A Carp anglers favourite way to fish, well it is mine.

Stalking is a great way to fish, on the move and keeping an eye out for that tell tail sign that a Carp is feeding.

All that is needed is a good rod small float, you can also free line.

When you are stalking it is vital that you are very very quite as not to spook the fish, always check that your shadow dose not cast onto the water and that your approach is very silent. Camouflage gear is useful to, if you have non dark colours work. And try to blend with your back ground, keep low and try not to be spotted because as soon as you are seen the fish will spook and go.

Gently lower your bait into the water and wait!!

I find this a great way to fish but always respect other anglers and do not stalk were there bait lies. Have ago and see what you think it’s good. Here at Newbarn it is a very effective method.

Hope you all enjoyed that article.

Best of luck with all your South Devon Fishing

Hi everyone,

Welcome from Newbarn Farm Selfcatering Cottages and Angling Centre, Devon fishing at its best.

Sorry, late again with the catch report for last week, this is becoming a habit.

But we have been too busy sunning ourselves, it has been far to good out there to do any work.

What an amazing 2 weeks for late summer weather it has been glorious.

Click on the catch report picture for a larger size.


























We have had some interesting fishing tournaments which have been enjoyed by all concerned.

The lads have been providing fishing tips to the new Carp fishing enthusiasts.

We have copied a specimen fishing license which we are posting on the web site to show those newbies who don't know what one looks like.

There is an article on the web site detailing where the fishing license money goes, click on fishing and then articles, the license article is listed.

Hope the weather holds all over the winter ( Ha flaming Ha) or as long as possible.

The great weather has been a bonus for the holiday makers in the holiday cottages.

A Cider Invitation

All us here at Newbarn Farm would like you to join us in celebrating the huge surge in the recent popularity of one of South Devon's finest!

Cider has long been part of the backbone of Devon and indeed Somerset. Richard and I were fortunate enough to live just a stone's throw away from Winkleigh Cider in mid-Devon, once the home of the all infamous 'Inches'. Not much has changed since then and with hand on heart we firmly believe that the cider from Winkleigh is by far one of the greatest ever to have passed our lips - so much so, we have without too much ado managed to convert family, friends and fellow fishing pals to the odd tipple now and then!

But we can offer you so much!

Book a holiday in one of our luxury self-catering cottages during the months of September* and October+ and we will award you with a bumper crop of offerings including a selection of Ciders and a South Devon hamper brimming with local produce.

*Not available for one bedroom holiday cottages

+Not available w/c 20th October 2007

Hello everyone.

Here is last weeks catch report, sorry a bit late.
Click on the image to see the full size report












That's a bit more like it.

Here are a couple of articles written by Darren, very interesting and very well done.

Back leads

Back leads are used all the time when bottom fishing for Carp.

When you have placed your bait in the desired place, the back lead is placed onto your line at the tip of your rod.

This in turn will take the line to the bottom of the lake just in front of your rod.

When this is done gently place your rod onto your rod pod and gently reel your line in until the line becomes tight, this in turn will pull the line tight to the bottom of the lake reducing the line up in the water reducing the suspicions of the Carp.

Anything to make your rig look as natural as possible will help you catch them Carp

GOOD LUCK !!

Have a great time with your Devon Fishing

Autumn Fruits

Early last Sunday morning I was on the way out to purchase bacon and eggs for a much needed hearty breakfast; passing the field at the end of the lane I pulled up sharply, blinked and yes sure enough a sight I'ver never encountered before - still damp from birth and very wobbly on long gangly legs - a newborn foal! Absolutely beautiful! Getting back into the car I noticed the hedgerow - bushes laden with ripening sloes.

Feeling replenished from breakfast I rumaged around for the jam making pot, funnel, muslim and hunted high and low for a good old fashioned recipe for Sloe Gin!

Over the next few weeks the Aga will be working overtime! An abundance of blackberries in Newbarn Farm's hedges and plenty of apples down by the fishing lakes for Blackberry & Apple Jam; apples mixed with hawthorns for Hawthorn Jelly - a lovely accompaniment to cold meats or game dishes! I even may be spurred on to go as far as harvesting the Rosehips - not for itching powder - no! But for an old fashioned cold remedy or a refreshing drink if diluted with water - Rosehip Syrup.

But my favourite autumn collection from the farm has to the sloe berry, mixed with sugar and gin and allowed to ferment slowly will become the glorious bittersweet Sloe Gin! And just as the young foal at the end of our lane enters its second year we will be able to sample the sweet taste of one of Newbarn Farm's best!

All of our autumn fruits once bottled will be available to purchase for all our holiday guests.

Newbarn Farm's Summer Fayre debut raises £400

Even dogs needed their jackets at our first Summer Fayre but we still managed to raise hundreds of pounds for good causes!

The day before the heavens opened and we struggled to put up marquees, plan the layout and organise the carpark plus signage for the day which although it was bitterly cold the rains fortunately held off. The turn out wasn't too bad but had the sun shone as it has today we believe we would have have easily tripled if not quadrupled the monies raised! The following day on the Monday freak weather conditions caused flash flooding in Paignton and Torquay so I guess in reality we were lucky with the grey skies and cold winds!

We had a great day - children had their faces painted, bounced on the bouncy castle and more than 100 children jumped to their hearts content on the trampoline! Donkey rides in Top Field proved to be very popular and many enjoyed the opportunity to sit on a real working tractor.

Most of the resident guests from our self-catering cottages joined us for the day - some even trying out the fishing for the very first time with our 'have a go - £2.00 for half an hour, rod, landing net and bait all inclusive!' Some enjoyed the fishing so much they went back for more later on in the week.

Newbarn Farm's tug of war team were appalling - loosing twice to teams of strapping young local lads! The egg and spoon races highlighted some of the cheating tactics of the young much to our compare's surprise - alias Darren Stride, Angling Manager.

We will definitely be holding another next year and will keep our fingers crossed for blue skies and will hopefully have more stalls than this year. All we need do until then is to present our cheque for £200 to RLNI and another for an equal amount to Collaton St Mary's Primary School for much needed kitchen equipment.

Who knows we may even have candy floss next year!!!!!

Hello everyone

Got the Devon fishing catch report for you, plus a lovely picture, but first here is some information on why you should come to Newbarn Farm Cottages and Angling Centre whatever the weather.

Fish like low Barometric pressure

However

In an area of low pressure the air has a tendency to rise. This general upward motion means that there is less pressure from the air pushing down on the earth, in other words there is low pressure. As air rises, it cools and if there is enough water vapour it may condense to form clouds and rain. This is why a low pressure is generally associated with wet weather.

Low pressures often form on the boundary of warm and cold air. A small disturbance may cause the pressure to fall along this boundary, causing a circulation of air to develop. This is the beginning of a low pressure, and the boundaries of warm and cold air become weather fronts.

So when its raining the fishing is better.

I'm convinced! when its raining come to Newbarn Farm Cottages and Angling Centre

Self Catering Late Availability

Newbarn Farm Cottages and Angling Centre

With only two more weeks to go before the children start back at School marking the end of our peak summer season, we are amazed at how many families leave the booking of their Self Catering Summer Vacation until the very very last minute. All Summer we have have had people calling at short notice sometimes as little as the night before they intend to travel!

Why is this?

Change in the weather - a little maybe but not greatly! So far we have had one really good week all season - so this cannot be the sole reason.

Waiting for a late deal - we believe this could be a serious delaying tactic - everyone likes money off! But waiting until the last minute for this reason could mean no holiday at all or settling for something not up to expectation.

We know that all our self catering family cottages have been booked out since the beginning of June (the one bedroom ones by mid July) when the weather conditions for the Summer were unknown.

So our advice is to you - should you wish to enjoy all that Newbarn Farm Self Catering Cottages and Angling Centre has to offer and the surrounding area - BOOK EARLY to AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!!!

We hate to have to say no to people - we wish we could take you all, but alas we only have the eight cottages (it was only 6 last year!)

Best of luck with your search

Devon Fishing at Newbarn Farm Selfcatering Cottages and Angling Centre

Hello everyone

Alright where did that rain come from.

Devon fishing at Newbarn Farm Cottages and Angling Centre is proud to present

Wettest June since records began
Wettest July since records began
No surely not, we are not going to believe it.
We are going to have a virtual August and I don't mean virtually the wettest August since records began.
What ever the weather we are going to have sunshine inside.

Here is the catch report for last week.








For your information we have explained 9 common fishing terms.

Hook (1) A curved piece of metal used to catch fish. (2) A clever advertisement to entice a fisherman to spend his live savings on a new rod and reel. (3) The punch administered by said fisherman´s wife after he spends their life savings (see also, Right Hook, Left Hook).

Line - Something you give your co-workers when they ask on Monday how your fishing went the past weekend.

Lure - An object that is semi enticing to fish, but will drive an angler into such a frenzy that he will charge his credit card to the limit before exiting the tackle shop.

Reel - A weighted object that causes a rod to sink quickly when dropped into water.

Rod - An attractively painted length of fiberglass that keeps an angler from ever getting too close to a fish.

School - A grouping in which fish are taught to avoid your £15.00 lures and hold out for real dog biscuit.

Tackle - What your last catch did to you as you reeled him in, but just before he wrestled free and jumped back in to the water.

Tackle Box - A box shaped alarmingly like your comprehensive first aid kit. Only a tackle box contains many sharp objects, so that when you reach in the wrong box blindly to get a Band Aid, you soon find that you need more than one.

Test - (1) The amount of strength a fishing line affords an angler when fighting fish in a specific weight range. (2) A measure of your creativity in blaming "that darn line" for once again losing the fish.

Wishing you the best Devon Fishing ever.

Rod and Annette

Charity Summer Fayre

We are keeping our fingers crossed that the improvement in the Summer weather conditions are in to stay! We hope that the sun will continue to shine over Newbarn Farm's first Summer Fayre! Set to begin at 11.00am on Sunday 19th August in Home Field, we have planned fun the whole family through to 4.00pm.

A local farmer has very kindly offered to hold sheep shearing demonstrations, children can sit on a real working tractor up in the hay field and have their photograph taken. Fishing fun for everyone, lots of traditional games (sack race, egg and spoon and not forgetting the 'Tug of War'. A giant chess set will keep the more studious ones occupied and for just a little bit of fun - basketball, an adult sized trampoline and table tennis will be available. A bouncy castle and face painting for the younger ones. Traditional Arts & Crafts and local food fayre stalls, plus a huge BBQ and our first beer tent selling amongst your favourite lagers some local beverages!

So let us hope that we have seen the last of the rains for a while and that the sun will indeed shine down on us on Saturday 19th August, so that we Newbarn Farm will be able to raise funds for the RNLI and for the local Primary School.

Devon Fishing at Selfcatering Cottages and Angling Centre

Hello everyone.

Sorry a bit late this week.

I have shown the catch report for last week, sorry not all is in it.

Click on it for a larger view.


On a very serious note, we are very concerned here at Newbarn Farm Cottages and Angling Centre,
It is absolutely excellent here, we love it, the fishing is great, the cottages are great, the people are great, in fact every thing is great.
But we are very worried.
Sir Isaac said that it is a basic law of physics, that every action has an opposite and equal reaction.
There is Yin and Yang, Matter and Antimatter.
So Newbarn farm is so extraordinarily great, must mean that there is something extraordinarily horrible because of it.
We feel we must apologise to anyone who has experienced the horrible, just because our Devon Fishing and Selfcatering Cottages are so excellent.

Look below at prime examples of the spooky opposites.



Every action has an opposite an equal reaction to keep the world in balance



The Yin and the Yang.

Could it be a religious thing?



It depends on your point of view.

and remember if we had a very hot summer, there would be repercussions.




So we are sorry that you will have an excellent Selfcatering cottages holiday with us, but please remember someone else is having a horrible holiday somewhere else because of it.

Best or luck

Devon Fishing ground bait at Newbarn Farm Cottages and Angling Centre

http://selfcateringcottages.blogspot.com/google9ae923ee60002300.html

Hello Everyone

I have attached the catch report, sorry it is much larger than it appears but we didn't collect all the figures, so they don't count. Just click on it for the big picture.

Underneath is some ground bait information for your interest.

A Simple Ground Bait from Devon Fishing at Newbarn Farm Cottages and Angling Centre

At last the sun is shining here at Newbarn Farm and the fishing has picked up, with the fish taking bait from the bottom and the surface.

A simple ground bait method that we use here at Newbarn Farm and that can be used at other places is a modified pellet based one.

This is how you can make it. Get two pints of micro pellet, place them into bucket or mixing bowl, then add water to the mix. You want sufficient water to just cover the pellet. Leave the mix for about 2 – 3 hours, stirring every thirty minutes, if you can remember.

You can use other size pellets but you will need to adjust the soaking time to obtain the required consistency.

You want to achieve a doe like consistency, which will be strong enough to take any shape you want to mould it into without it falling apart.

You can also add things to this mix i.e. sweetcorn, hempseed broken boilies etc. You can also add different flavoured liquids, so experiment and see what you come up with.

Take the doe like material and mould it around a method feeder, I have shown the Korum flat in line feeder for an example.

You can see how the feeder can have the doe mix moulded around it, the design of the feeder allows you to pack the mixture into it, making a solid mass that will keep its shape.

There is nothing to stop you using the mix to pack around your weights. It may sound odd but the fish do find your hook.

Best of luck with your Devon Fishing at Newbarn Farm Cottages and Angling Centre

New Holiday Cottage - Great Success Story!

WOW! We have had our first few guests visitng our new 'flagship' self-catering cottage! The feedback and comments we have had, have far surpassed our exceptions - we feel very proud - and very fortunate to have had such favourable feedback! And we love Badgers Holt too!

Spurred on by such posititivity we have now embarked on a programme of further improvements.

Over the next couple of months we will be making the all important improvements to our other six cottages to make your stay here at Newbarn Farm that 'little extra special' , and I have to say we cannot wait to implement this. Catherine has already ordered new sofas, chairs and footstools for Lambs Gate and has already had fun playing with ideas for personalised wrought iron curtian rails - colour cordoraination already in place!

And don't forget Pheasants Hide - a beautiful romantic retreat - was our first deluxe cottage. Book now to take advantage of our reduced rates until 2008. Remember this was our first renovation project - and we still feel one of our best!

Catherine and Richard are already taking minor stpes on a regular weekly basis to upgrade the reminder of our six cottages, which I have to say even before this renovation are in their present presentation of a very high 4 STAR calibre.
