Simon Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Well it's almost time to move our boat to Brundall, have to say I'm really looking forward to it, feel like a kid approaching Christmas. Friday afternoon sometime when we arrive we will be washing her down and putting the canopy back up ect. but on the Saturday I'd like to take a trip out of the marina, but where to go for our first trip out / over night stay on the southern broads, ive been reading threads and looking at pictures for weeks, thanks to Jayfire I now know of one or two pubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Hello Simon, If you only want to go a short distance then I would suggest the Ferry House Inn Surlingham (you had better book a mooring and a table) or at Brammerton Green or outside the Waters Edge (book a mooring and a table). Further afield you could visit Loddon and moor in the staithe, there are four pubs to choose from, alternatively you could moor at the Reedham Ferry (you can book a mooring outside of the pub). Please let us know how you get on. Regards Alan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastorsDayOff Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Waveney River Centre is a nice place to overnight; you will have to pay for mooring, but there is a pub/restaurant on site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwanR Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Langley Dyke is a lovely quiet mooring. No pub there but it depends what you're looking for and how far you want to go. We have used it as a first night stay from Brundall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 Loddon or Reedham are appealing to me as I like the small villages, good to have a wander around. Think it will take me about 3hours from Brundall to Loddon so I should be there around lunchtime, not sure how much mooring space is available but if no space then I can always try my luck at Reedham. I even hear we might actually see some sunshine that weekend Just need to watch these pub meals, to many chips just doesn't agree with my waistline.

Moor at Chedgrave Common or Pye’s Mill then you can walk into Loddon and back. That way you won’t feel guilty about those chips! Much quieter moorings too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VetChugger Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 The New Inn at Rockland would be my choice. A reasonable but briefish cruise and a cracking pub with peaceful moorings! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad my pub tour, sorry blog has come in handy You really can't go wrong with many, if any infact, moorings on the south and many good suggestions have already been mentioned. Loddon is one of my personal picks of the best if you want a village mooring, I doubt you will have any problem getting a mooring either in the Staithe or as suggested the moorings before you reach the Staithe this weekend. Hope you enjoy wherever you end up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Well tomorrow's the big moving day, really chuffed about the weather being so good. Our new adventure on the broads begins. ive spent a few days this week carrying out a few jobs, anti fouling, polishing the hull and servicing the outdrives, found a nice bit of fishing line had damaged an oil seal which resulted in wearing a groove in a drive shaft which thankfully was repairable. Looking forward to a pint in the Yare tomorrow night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessan Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Good luck for the move tomorrow, hope it all goes well. You’ve certainly picked the right weekend weatherwise, well done! Enjoy wherever you end up on your trip out on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDTRIPLE Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Hi Simon, are you moored in Brooms, if so, whereabouts?. We`re moored on the first riverside mooring downriver from the fuel quay, the boat`s called Lightning, and is a 43ft Brooms built ex hire cruiser. We won`t be about till June 16th, so will look out for you if you`re there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we are moored in Brooms, on the old sales pontoon, last mooring nearest the first riverside property if that makes sense, you must be close to us then, I will look out for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTRIPLE Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Hi Simon, i forgot to say that Lightning is a syndicate boat, so she`s out most weeks. We`ll be on it again in June (16th) for a week, then not untill late November. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
