Thornwood Springs, Essex - Rudd
Episode 7 of 8
Paul, Bob and Ted target a large rudd lake near Epping Forest, and all three try 'champing' for the first time – staying overnight in a church.
Paul, Bob and Ted travel a short distance to Thornwood Springs Fishery in Essex, a complex of three lakes on the edges of Epping Forest, in search of a big rudd - although there's also the chance of a trout in the waters.
Later, they pull up at a churchyard, and Bob reveals they are ‘champing’ – camping overnight in a church, in this case St Nicholas’s in the village of Berden.
