    Horsey Staithe/mere

    in Broads Chat

    Posted

    I would love to hear from anyone who manages to get up to Horsey this year! We "bullied" our way in on "Juliette" last year and found a mooring hard to to come by. We did manage to squeeze in but were never entirely sure if we were meant to be there or not. We had the obligatory stroll to the "Nelsons Head" which is a reward in itself. One of my very favourite parts of the Broads.

    Mooring Fees

    I suspect the main point here is that, generally, it is accepted that side on moorings are more expensive than stern on.  Take Oulton Broad Y S, as an example. Its very clear that there is a different pricing structure depending how you choose to moor. In my own experience it has always been either, or, I cannot recall being charged for the length of my boat on a stern on mooring. I also suspect this might be at a rather popular mooring!

    How Full Is The Fuel Tank?

    in Hire Boat Discussion

    Posted

    All hire boats used to have a dip stick for the tank. I was always suspicious after this stopped. I once asked the yard, prior to departure, how much they were charging for fuel. Refused to tell me and very sternly insisted I do not even think about filling up prior to return.

    The "who cares" comment was out of order from someone with the admin badge and deserves an apology, if from someone without the badge or same person not using the badge would be easier to take.

    We appreciate all the admin but if you post under the badge we expect better or you can't expect better of us.

    Or the quip about a load of crap!

    The water leaving the sewage treatment plants is vastly cleaner than the water already in the rivers. Remember every bird, fish and mammal is leaving their  deposits in the water.

    Hmmmmm   that sounds as though it includes people!!!
