I got this from the web Clive.

Richardson’s 2015 Brochure Hi Clive, Just spent an enjoyable hour going through the 2015 brochure and found a few anomalies which might confuse some newbies. They are listed below:- PAGE 27, Moon Adventure, Description - 1 bedroom, Plan – 2 bedrooms 28, Crystal Horizon, Will not pass under too many bridges. 6ft 9in. 31, Western Horizon, No salon bed shown in plan 37, Serene Gem, No salon bed shown in plan 53, Monarch, Will not pass under Wroxham??? Maybe there are more that I missed, but I enjoyed and it lets me get closer to the broads. Regards, Eric.

My signature has been added.

The last time I was under PHB was in a C40, albeit a long time ago.

Moosey, Never too much information on a holiday post. We want to read it ALLLLLLL!!!!! Enjoy.

Iain, They would never hurt the wallet carrier. Grace, I am very proud of them both. They are the ones that keep me young. And this one could not be replaced.

Thanks John. They are very prety and I'm a lucky man (you should see the mother), but their nick-names are piles and hemeroids - for obvious reasons. lol.

I was told by my 2 daughters (avatar picture) that our Forum name is Riyadhcrew - so why do I have my bike as our picture??? I was told in no uncertain terms and under threat of being keel hauled that the picture must be changed to reflect the name. Done!!!! I hope this post is OK.

I was going to write a long post, but Robin has just about said it all above. I, for one, used to hire what ever I could afford and in fact, went for 10 years not being able to afford anything. Now I'm in a job where I am paid quite well and I want to enjoy the results of my hard work. If that means going on a nice large new boat for a week, then so be it. It still relieves all the stresses, but in a much more comfortable way.

Jill, The pictures are lovely. I wish I was there to see it.

Went through and back (or I'd still be there) on a Richo's boat last month. The cost was 12 quid in total for both ways and you pay at the boatyard when you give the boat back. Have a good one.

Still got just 2 wheels and you can still fall off. lol.

Strowager, My avatar shows an Aprilia Mille R Factory which I love to ride and used to race (amateur). The attached is a bike I found in a showroom here in Riyadh. It is a 2009 and has zero miles on it. In the process of changing all the fluids and the tyres. It's an American Yamaha Raider with 1854cc.

Richardson's in Stalham start hiring in March.

They may even say "YES". Good luck.

Just love the power steering!!!!!!

I'm just sitting here in Riyadh reflecting on my love of Broads boats and it all started in 1971 or 1972 when I hired Glistening Stream from Southgates in Horning. Since then, I think I've hired from most yards in the northern broads and quite a few in the south (not many left now). When I could afford it, I would hire a nice one and when money was tight, I would drive to the boatyards and see what was available on "last minute offers", so I think I've cruised on the 'best' and the 'not so good'. I've always accepted what I hired and enjoyed every minute of every boat, because the Broads is such a special place. In April this year, I hired Fair Monarch for myself, my wife and 2 daughters. It was probably one of the best boats I had hired. Last month, I hired Carousel from Richos and she is in a different league for 4 people. I have her again next March and I think I can say that it would be difficult now to hire anything of a lesser standard. Good move - or bad move - I honestly don't know.

Welcome Hazel, I was cruising last month and like you, my next chance is in March. I find that reading the forum helps a lot in some ways, but makes me jealous (Ha! Ha!) in other ways. Roll on March is all I can say.

Frank, I can't argue with that and I don't think anyone else can either.

Frank, Good on you and don't let anyone tell you any different!!!

Peter, I have 100% confidence in what you would put together and for that reason alone, PUT ME DOWN FOR 10. I have friends and family who would love a nice calendar.

I think Iain is working on a fantastic response in 'Word' and he'll copy paste when ready. I'm with him all the way. (Until his nose bleeds and then he's on his own).

4,440 for me. Boo Hoo. But it will come around.

Welcome Rum Punch. Just imagine crossing Breydon from Yarmouth on a flood tide, with a nice breeze blowing. Your 3.8kn could easily be 8.3kn, even with the water skier on the back. lol.
