More detailed information to be provided for Sunday, the 29th of October

Assisted crossings

To use the World Carp Classic & Lac de Madine transfer service to the Big Island and the Darkside, please follow these rules:

• • Inform the organisers at the peg draw if you need assistance to reach your swim.
  • Follow ALL instructions provided, including the timing for leaving the sports hall area.
  • Reminder: Participants are responsible for loading and unloading their gear onto the barge or their boats, which will then be towed.
  • On Saturday, returns operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Contact HQ or signal the assistance boats to be picked up. The Service will start from 08:15

Self crossings

Depending on the weather and swim location, we may allow some anglers to cross on their own.
However, competitors MUST NOTIFY organisers before leaving the mainland and upon reaching their swim location.

• Small Island – participants will navigate independently, with a marshal serving as a bank security officer.
  
  Big Island and Dark Side – participants must follow the following strict rules:
• Inform organisers at the peg draw of their choice – making their own crossing or requiring assistance
• MUST exchange number with their marshal via SMS – number provided at peg draw
• MUST notify marshal and event HQ with 2 text messages – before departure and upon arrival at the swim
• The same procedure applies for the return on Saturday. NO one is allowed to leave their swim by their own means on Saturday morning before 08:15

Detailed information per swim to be published by Sunday, the 29th

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Returns will be done on a first-come, first-served basis – please notify HQ by SMS  on 00 44 7796 108 964 when ready and wave a boat.
• Remember to be ready or we will go to the next ready-swim
• Ideally, if you can wait for the tow boat already, afloat by the bank, weather allows.

IMPORTANT RULES TO BE FOLLOWED

• Competitors either stay in their swim or decide to go. Just the movement of the gear is not allowed.
• Anglers can’t leave the swim of their own accord before the fog clears, if any. Anglers are to notify HQ before setting off and upon arrival on the mainland.
• Assistance will be provided as soon as the fog clears. Please email admin@anglingspirit as soon as you are ready.
• Upon instruction, go about 400 meters from the bank, where you will be met by the tow boat.

While waiting, why not submit your bait survey form below (form to be published from Friday, the 3rd of October)
