I keep waiting for pilotage to start at Ludham Bridge £12 return a time is a nice little earner! Iain

Brilliant MM Iain

About six or so years Alan. Iain

That Canal is infamous at certain times of the year for the Midges, they are said to be worse than the ones up here! Iain.

Hi Robin, I fully agree with your thoughts regarding Beccles. It has been since our very early years of boating a must visit place. Yes its a town, but IMHO a town with a bit of character. Well we like it so there I also agree with you regarding pilotage through Wroxham Bridge, After all its Faircraft who supply the Pilot ! Its little things like that can make or break a holiday, and as the Boatyards choose to stop us taking boats through, THEY SHOULD supply a better service. It even stops at 5.30pm on a summers day which I think is not very clever. To complete my wee rant £12 is easy money for a few minutes work! Iain

Hi John, We wont hear from Grace ALL day She has gongoozling her favourite hobby! Iain

Looks like the tides are very low there just now. Great to see the cam back. Now Buffalo Bill can sleep easy at nights being able to see his boat again. Iain.

Hi Cheesey, Welcome aboard the NBN friendly Forum As others have said, I am sorry to read you had a few wee niggling problems. Any boat with a sliding roof, will allow the draughts in although if you can moor into the wind it can sometimes help. I hope you return again in the near future, and have a better experience too. I would not say IMHO its elitist just a few less public moorings than there use to be.(Boatyards moorings are available during the season) As for not being allowed to take the boat through Wroxham Bridge I know how I felt, having taken over 80 boats through over forty years, I feel I am being told am not up to the job, perhaps you felt the same? In truth, after so many accidents by some hirers, and the high insurance costs I would think that was the reason to stop us doing it ourselves. Still sticks in my craw as they say. I do hope you are back on the Broads soon. Iain.

Hi Ray, Please DON'T give up sending pics, I really quite like trying out YOGA! Iain.

A certain area has just about become private unless you are a flappy thingy....or hire a day boat.....now I wonder where that could be! Will they be making access to all there? Iain.

Good point Monica, I am not into this Yogi malarky either, Ray you can turn it round in My Pictures and resend it. Or maybe our very clever Admin chappies can? Iain

We've got our eyes on you Grace Correct David! Iain.

We have First Class pigeon mail on this Forum, Jas Glad you will be able to have on your holiday. Iain

Thanks for your blog Gareth and finally managing to upload the brill pics. Iain

Its nice to have all the toys on board, and have a posh boat for a treat. But, with the exception of an Electric Mudweight, (all boats should have one) I am more than happy to hire the less expensive craft. Iain

Hi Aubery & Wendy, Welcome aboard the NBN friendly Forum I am one of the up North members, the clue is in my screen name. Enjoy your retirement from teaching. Her indoors does! Iain.

Awe Alan are you a man or a Nothing ventured nothing gained! I am sure that that nice Mr Gates has spent days, weeks, months, well the odd minute or two to ensure Windows 10 will be bug free, and IF it aint you have OUR permission to E-mail him and tell him so! Iain.

Leo....show off! Iain

I most certainly remember them with light blue hulls. Iain.

It does look like they are going back to the original start menu on 10, that for many will be a relief, including ME! Iain.

Robin, If you wish to close down this iffy Belmore TV I will gladly alter it to Belmore TC for you. Iain.

Purely as a driving point of view, after many hours at the wheel, this looks like it would shorten my trip from the North. So for me, I say good news indeed! Iain.

Thank you Stuart , for keeping the members up to date, as best you can, I am sure its much appreciated. Iain
