Just to clarify, the bridge pilot at Wroxham, they will only take craft from the hire fleets through!
I even offered to pay them but they said that Loynes (who now have control of the pilots)wouldn't
let them.
The gauge on Avalon says 6' 10", but I measured it at 6' 8", but would like someone with more
experience of our type of boat to take her through before I do it! The pilot says try it at 7' 2"
and she will go through ok. I need to go through as we do miss that stretch of river a lot.
We went under Beccles with the gauge reading 6' 10" and had at least 4" to spare and more like 6"
and it is common knowledge that the Wroxham gauge is about 3" short!
