Yes they do, along with big changes at Stalham as well. Still awaiting planning permission.

Does not look too bad, need a few more waves over the bows!! IMG_1658.mov

Richardsons in Stalham have a laundry, toilets, showers and an onsite café.

I heard a week or so ago, if true then I'm sure it will be good news.

Only dealt with one hire boat sinking in my 10 years at a hire yard, either a Friday or Saturday afternoon the hirers sideswiped a nice concrete bank at speed and split the corner open. Didn't go right down but the engine was several inches underwater, front/rear cabins waist deep and the sunroof was opened so we had an escape route while plugging the hole! In fact it was Vaughan and his crane who lifted it out for us! Back on hire the following weekend. Probably 30 years ago now so cannot remember what happened to the hirers.

I quite like the Horning church mooring too, only space for 2 boats and walking distance to Horning. Had it to myself on Saturday night!

The lowest Norwich bridge is around 9ft at high tide so shouldn't be a problem for most hire boats. This info did come from the BA bridge height guide which also shows Wroxham at 7ft 3" and Potter at 6ft 6" as average for summer high tide...... We should be so lucky!!

If your are hoping to tick Wroxham and Beccles off your list I’d suggest a low airdraft boat. Both the Coltishall and Geldeston stretches are stunning. Take care tomorrow as more strong winds are forecast. I’m currently at Horning church Staithe and heading up the Ant in the morning so I’ll keep an eye out for you.

@Dungraftin2 If you are free the weekend of 18th/19th May we have the annual forum meet, you can sign up here - You'll never meet a nicer bunch of alcoholics, err, boaters.

Spot on. You need to save some for the alcohol !!

I did have a look into this but they have a tiny amount of subscribers and views, it's doubtful whether YouTube would allow them to monetise the accounts and they would be lucky to buy a Mars Bar with the yearly profit. You need hundreds of thousands of subscribers and a boatload of views to earn even a modest amount.

Just spotted going through Irstead, either Griff is on his way home or they made him walk the plank on account of his jokes!

That's not good, I wonder how many others have been incorrectly charged! I was there Saturday night, Rangers were there but no mention of charging.

Here’s a link. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-68694486.amp I also think a surcharge for continuous cruisers is not unreasonable. Hire boats have a surcharge due to increased usage so why not liveaboards with no home mooring? I’m sure the BA are fully aware and taking notes….

I’d like to hear about the Thames trip as it’s my old stomping ground.
