Closed: Monday 14 November 2016 until Friday 23 December 2016

Between Saturday 24th December 2016 and Sunday 8th January 2017, the Rockland Boat Dike and Rockland Staithe will be open to navigation; however moorings and turning space in the Staithe will be limited by the presence of the dredging rig.

Is "Dike" a recognised alternative spelling?

What happened to the Queen's English.       How did that get proof read and allowed to be published.   That is terrible.

Hi Mark,

Not knocking dredging, but that is going to spoil any attempt that we may have made to visit the New Inn during our allocation.

Not a problem, Alan, the dike might be closed but no mention of the dyke so that'll probably be open;)

Parts have become very shallow at low water, it does need doing. 

Walking from the Beachamp back to Rockland is quite a way but it cant be more than 15mins walk from the Dyke i wouldnt have thought.  Just watch out for any cattle, make sure your wearing trainers!!

Chris Bailey is one of the Good Guy's at the B.A.

I'm not sure whether Chris will like being called one of the "good guys" though I freely admit she was most helpful to me recently. :)

Anyway, she forwarded the message. The questionable spelling was from Tom Hunter. (probably a guy!)

Hi John,

I know that Chris is not one of the guy,s but she is one of the good guy's at the Broads Authority to name but one, in dealing with a number of the departments within the B.A. they do have some very good staff at the sharpe end, helpful with their advice and getting the job done.

Regards

Alan

Bump,

A reminder of the dredging and closure of Rockland Staithe.

From now 7th November.

Dredging Work in Rockland Dike and Rockland Staithe from Monday 7 November 2016

The planned dredging work in Rockland Dike is due to start slightly ahead of schedule on Monday 7 November 2016. Between Monday 7 November and Sunday 13 November 2016 Rockland Dike and Rockland Staithe will remain open, but boaters must approach with caution and may experience restricted width and some delay as works barges are manoeuvred.

As published in NTM Notice 06 of 2016 Rockland Dike and Rockland Staithe will then be closed to navigation between Monday 14 November and Friday 23December 2016 and also between Monday 9 January and Friday 20 January 2017.

Regards

Alan
