in my opinion the pendulum is over rated plus its too dangerous. the good old off the ground cast should put you in range of most fish or even the overhead thump. ive done the pendulum and i can get just as far with any other cast i do. -
Steve, like all forms of casting, the safety lies with the caster not the cast. In the right conditions a pendulum cast when executed properly should give you extra distance.
There are lads up and down the NE coast who should be able to help, so I'm sure one up your way will step in.
Good luck!

would be a good idea to edit your user cp's to add a location then folks who can teach you know if they are near you
i have been learning the various styles this summer , i mostly fish hendon prom, a place with 2 walls 7M apart so need to have a lead high up on the swing so use a hybrid flat/high arc pendulum , the difference is about 40M + over a "Brighton" cast when i dont splatter lead over the back wall ( a lot of my leads have a banana shape to them now
)
its a nice cast to have in the back pocket for sure but most of the time when theres folks about i have to use the brighton for safety--------------------------------------------------------------

flat arc pendulum cast ,
YouTube - Back to the flat arc pendulum
weight pretty much swings in a "flat arc" without going high at the back swing so turn starts with the lead just after it passes the hip and tip of rod in plain
high arc ,
YouTube - High swing pendulum
lead goes up high and rod tip stays high through the turn and punch
hybrid is a mix of these to keep lead up in turn ( so i dont hit the wall as much
) could be described as a high flat arc or a low high arc
brighton cast you may know as a high inertia cast
YouTube - Terry Carroll Performs the Brighton Cast
off the ground with the lead pointing back to your feet 4-5 foot drop ,kind of like an over head thump with attitude
