Some of the marsh is still shot over. It tends to shoot well at the beginning of the season in Sept and October according to one of the guns I talked to. Inland wildfowling traditionally stopped early because the open water would freeze up but that does not happen anymore much. Rockland is shot over from boats and RWA also own some of the marsh.

Debenture is probably the incorrect word as it implies long term investment against asset. Whereas this is long term investment against liability. They touted this on the other site with little or no response. I go with Kfurbank on this one. Who are they? What are their qualifications? And most importantly, how much have they put to the project to show faith and commitment,. Not a lot I suspect.

How can the Berney Arms be in any way described as a community hub? Surely that is the reason it is totally non viable. There is no community to support it within about two miles. You can not drive to it. For seven to nine months of the year there is minimal if any business. And who is going to go out there on a mid winter night on foot or by boat. They peddled the idea "over there" and got zero response. At that time the debenture price was £500.00. IMHO you would stand a better chance of getting your money back on a dicky (donkey or mule) running in the Derby.

Yes, OK, but ewes got to no hows to reed and rite to get it.

Virtually all of the land between Fleet Dyke and Thurne Mouth is still grazing. I must admit however it does look as though it is under the plough on google earth due to the regularity of the numerous drains.

The deliberate mistake is including the Blyth., not one strech is in Norfolk. Entirely in Suffolk.

10/12 as well, got Vancover dock wrong, thought that was the basin by his statue. And the date went for 1910 not 1884.

Who owns that stretch of bank? It would come as no surprise if Richardsons only own the yard and the rest is owned by Fishley Hall/Molineux.

Unfortunately it would appear that the stretch from the end of the moorings to the start of the road, past Bondon's Basin will not be getting this treatment. That horrible, muddy, dog poo infested hundred yards is precisely where it is needed. Especially for us winter cruisers.

I have explained my mistake in the "Other Place" I was merely trying to find an alternative and the Larson cartoon animals so popular as books and cards in the 90s came to mind. It was only this morning that I remembered that it was not called the Dark Side but the "Far Side".

There is a very full and informative thread on this subject over on the dark side called "A motorway for fleet dyke" I am unable to post a link as using an iphone (not mine)

I did say "some" Peter. Acle Bridge to just short of Womack is the best river sailing on the North Broads. The south is I agree better river sailing overall but lacks the open waters of the likes of Barton and Hickling.

It would make a very nice marina exclusively for sailing craft opening up as it does to some of the best "reach" sailing on the Broads. By "reach" I mean in both sense of the word, the point of sail and stretch of river.

Of coarse we all think of Richardsons Boating. They are however big players in other forms of holiday and leisure as far south as Bracklesham Bay in West Sussex.

Did Sutton Staithe also expand the number of moorings? And the wayford area and above has good number of craft, not forgetting Coxs. It is only guess work but I would think there will be about 1500 boats north of Irstead. That is over 10% of all registered boats using the Ant before the rest start visiting, as they will, if only to get to Tesco. Tuesday on the Ant can be as bad as Friday and Saturday as the food brought from home runs out and they make for Stalham.

Who earned less in their career than some of these earn in a week.

The beach is beautiful as described but you have to be very careful. There are very strong tidal streams long the beach which cause lows and banks. Should you wish to enter the water do so at Sea Palling where the water is sheltered by artificial reefs and there are RNLI lifeguards on duty.

I stick to rugby. Union or league much more gentile. And the fans are such nice people. Never played football as both my schools were rugby schools, don't understand the finer points of football so don't watch it. Certainly don't understand why it attracts such violence. Unless it is fueled by alcohol.

Horsey is much better than West Somerton. Cross the road, make sure you have complete control of any young children as the willow can make crossing need careful attention. And just follow the path across the field towards the gap in the "Marram Hills" you will pick up a track to the Horsey Gap entrance to the beach. Keep on the track on the way back and you can refresh at the Nelson Head! It is about 20 minutes if fit 30 if not, a bit longer for small children.

Bob has raised a very important issue here. When you do not have a flat ceiling, but, say an apex, like in many loft conversions you can get something called "heat shielding" Hot air from central heating goes right up into the apex and smoke rising from combustion may not penetrate this layer of hot air but run along it as though it were a glass ceiling. Smoke detectors, especially ionisation types should not be placed high up in an apex for this reason. There used to be a test rig at the Fire Training College, Morton-in-Marsh that demonstrated this brilliantly.

18 inches above your head is spot on. But for the sake of a few quid why not leave it where it is and have an additional one above your berth.

PS. As I said before dont mount CO detection too close to your appliance as many do emit CO on start up, this is especially true of some of the more traditional "Taylors" type stoves where pre-heating with meths is used before the parafin will fully vaporise. Difficult on a small craft but a min of one metre from hob or oven should suffice.

Griff's answer is absolutely correct, but manufacturers instructions tend to assume a cube. You may have to interpret them as a near as possible solution in boats where the configuration of galleys, berths and cabins is endless.

As a general rule smoke detectors should be ceiling mounted making sure that no hanging bulkheads or beams mask them or stop smoke reaching them. CO detectors should be vertical mounted about 200mm below the ceiling except when the area is used for sleeping in and then about 400mm above pillow height would be about right. CO is very slightly lighter than air and if it can not escape upwards the build up comes lower and lower with tragic consequences for those lay prone asleep.

Don't know why it posted and would not let me say: Ionisation are good at small airbourne particles hence going off with toast and grilled bacon but Optical are much better at the slow smouldering of electrical wiring, foam etc. Given the nature of the dc electrics in boats I would always go the optical route. But there are other forms of protection, We fitted linear to the engine rooms of superyachts in the past.
