    Lord Paul of Sealand..once a very active Forum type on The Broads and a keen photographer overflew it with an early private drone. It should be on YouTube, but it is a few years ago now.
  2. Fenders out can be a hazard for jib sheets getting under. Not good when short or single handed.
  3. Facebook image Looks a cruiser
  4. I remember Mark Higgins, I think in 2016 driving his 600hp WRX Subaru going round in under 18mins. Ave nearly 129mph. Good going in a car.

    An unusually wet Winter, too much "Staycation" hype in the Press and on TV. Cost at present is a real problem for alot of folk and if they are going to spend, then. the warmth, atmosphere, food and ambience of the Med carries a certain guarantee.

    North & East Aylsham The Bure , West & South The Mermaid a tributary of The Bure.
  7. My pet hate, (which is by way of a warning) is, on receiving a comunication it starts as follows:- "I share your concerns" We have found it normally means...."I intend to do (or vote) the opposite" or do nothing One person here abouts is commonly known as First Name "I share your concerns" Last Name. Note how after 75 years I have started using First & Last in place of Christian & Surname.

    I had to use a specialist QC back in 87. Back then I calculated about £750 per hour. For advice. Then of course you have the risk, should you take it further of having the other party costs awarded against you. The desire for litigation is a great way to go skint.

    I am not a lover of big screens in pubs at all. But 2024 is one hell of a year for sport for both sexes and on top of those it is an Olympics year. I feel not having coverage this year could actually cost you precious revenue. It is a long Winter in Norfolk.

    There is a joke in there Grace. But I am too much of a gentleman to say it.
  11. Cromer also has Perigrines in the Church Tower. However live stream seemed to have a problem this morning.
  12. On long light summer evenings, my late wife and I have walked to The Fur and Feather. However even in Summer you could need your seaboots or wellies for the first stretch.
  13. Closing the footpath between Cockshoot and the bottom of Ferry Road could not have helped.
  14. Maybe we should look to a merger between youselves and ourselves " The Ind Coope Double Diamond Club" our membership is actually falling as members fall off their branch. The Gate in Northwood during Summer 1966 could not be bettered for a pint of lovely DD.
  15. From the local BBC news this morning it appears that there is a sad end to this tale with a body being recovered from Candle Dyke.

    When we first married we rented a semi in Sudbury Town. On a nice evening after work we would drive to Old Redding and have a few jars in The Case is Altered. Happy days. I have not been there since 1973. Or Horsenden Hill, but The Ballot Box was not so nice a pub.
  17. Thanks Oldgregg, it is good to have someone confirm what I to thought. Another consideration was a couple of years ago or so my son and I went flighting at the start of the season on St Davids Peninsula. Every day we travelled over 3 miles on an old quarry road which was in appalling condition. At the next MOT the car had 3 failures for cut tyres so I told them to fit 5 x new Michelin Cross Climates (not cheap) the four have done about 6000 and are like new, the spare zero.
  18. MDL Marinas spring to my mind, but then so do one or two other big operators.
  19. Precisely, hence the reason for unloading. Brooms was a venture capital purchase by people from a property background who's plan was always a major residential leisure redevelopment. If that now looks doubtful, why hang on.
