This is a screen print of my post from this time last year. The damage is done for me. Still having cancer frozen, scraped and cut off. Get and wear a Wide Brimmed UV proof Hat. I find Tilleys are best and the way they last are not so expensive.

Hope you don't mind but I have brightened up your photographs a hint.

The smaller track and hooks are usually a product called "Silent Gliss" It is the most common track system used in both boats and caravans.

You say that you are based in Suffolk. As a taster, without the travel why not try a trip from Oulton Broad. I think they are called Waveney River Cruises.

Wonderful venue for all paddlers around Little Hautbois.

Higher Winter Temperatures, no long periods of frozen water increase the growing season.

I like the picture of St Benets very much, that area has really changed. Those pictures give me the impression that The Broads were, back then a real "Exploration Destination" I can imagine travelling across Norfolk by car on empty roads or Steam Train,a real adventure! And no Berghaus, Rab, Musto etc clothes and shoes against inclement weather. I know times have changed, but it is sad, that for many, just living, travelling and sleeping onboard is not the adventure it once was.

Maybe, for lunch only. The Bure Valley Railway could help those unable to transit Wroxham Bridge??

The colour is Ferric Oxide and as Marshman says is due to drainage going too deep and hitting the clay and sands containing it. It is a while since I walked that way but the ditches as far away as Hill Common and Stubbs Road, around Willow Farm absolutely ran with it. Commonly know as Ochre as in Red Ochre.

And one of my favourite. One of the only places you can get a good Dover Sole. The Halibut is excellent as well.

Do you mean:- Good to see day boats with "Heads"

Stayed at the Victoria a few times. Good base for exploring the area. Woken a few times there to a "Fret or Haar" there myself, not sure on the geography of the terms. My friend who sails the Forth always says "Haar"

The morning after papers

The Atlantic 85 of RNLI Yarmouth and Gorleston is capable of 35knots, about 40mph so is the option for Breydon and lower Bure, Yare and Waverney but it is the upper reaches where Hemsby's smaller craft excels.

There seems to be ambiguity. Most volunteer Mountain Rescue have blue lights. But I notice a large proportion of their ATVs also sport the Ambulance logo.

Mind you, those old 4WD ex forces Bedfords would be hard pushed to break any speed limits. By the time you were approaching 30mph you invariablely need to stand on the anchor because very early deployment was needed.

The legislation needs urgently changing. Many, many years ago I drove an inland rescue ex army equipment 4 tonner. But was told traffic lights, speed limits etc were all to be obeyed. I don't think it had a siren though.

I think they are in the correct order, but it is pretty self-explanatory. I always thought that rescue trucks, say for want of better Mountain Rescue could use blue lights and that it was only when exceeding speed limits ie Police, Ambulance, Coast Guard, Fire special training was required. I am sure there must be loads of trucks with blue lights who should not use them.

Always booked solid for food when I go.

The two fish and chip shops were lost for the foreseeable future on Southwold quay, Monday.

Majorcan new potatoes are a good substitute to go with a nice Welsh leg of lamb and seem to be plentiful at the moment. But a substitute nothing compares to a newly dug Jersey. I am reminded that the butcher in Sudbury Town, where we rented a house when first married in 1971, would do us a leg of lamb for around £1.00, I expect my Coronation Dinner leg will be very close to £40.00.

No it is "Bare boat" charter to be precise.
