Trolley Fishing

This is something we have to do occasionally. Some people believe its quite fun to push a trolley into the park and throw it off the bridge. Personally I dont understand the mentality, but I do like the fact we get to bring out the grappling hook. Theres something about a 4 pronged metal hook on the end of a long rope that just makes me smile. Usually 2 people are required to get the trolley out, as trolleys can be quite heavy, and the trolley has to be lifted vertically just above the water, then slid along the bridge to shore, in order to get it out. If you try to drag it without lifting it, it will just dig its self deeper into the silt and you'll never get it out. A word to the wise, always carry rubber gloves for this job, as when you get the trolley out it is usually covered in smelly, black mud. Believe me you dont want that hon your hands.
