We have searched the northern sky for pulsars at the low radio frequency of 81.5 MHz, using the 3.6-hectare array at Cambridge, England. The survey covered most of the sky north of declination -20 deg and provided sensitivities of order 200 mJy for pulsars not too close to the galactic plane. A total of 20 pulsars were detected, all of them previously known. The effective post-detection sampling rate was 1.3 kHz, and the sensitivity to low-dispersion millisecond pulsars was sufficient to allow the detection of objects similar to PSR J0437-4715 (period 5.7 ms, dispersion measure 2.6 cm^-3 pc, mean flux density 1 Jy). No such pulsars were found.
