  1. IF I ever were to use it to fend off, I'd be inclined to use the 2" wide rubber covered blunt end
  2. Give 'em a ruddy shovel
  3. Couple of them kept in Barton Turf - could be same ones
  4. Not if you remember it before it became just another branch of QD
  5. They should have bulit a roundabout by Tescos - getting out of there is never easy if heading to Wroxham because of traffic turning in ( however this is irrelevant to the accident ) Until we see the full details, let's not jump to hasty conclusions. That is a major road, taking a lot of traffic. Many of us use it for commuting. It has a good footpath to Wayford Bridge, so pedestrians should be safe. I'd agree with barriers on the island though.
  6. Just look at any of the village verges, not just remote paths. I've nearly had a couple of accidents because you are pulling out blind due to vegetation at junctions.
  7. Weigman for the Mens manager ( after they she wins this )
  8. So did one of ours......... just the once though
  9. Hickling reading 32 at the clubhouse: https://www.weatherlink.com/embeddablePage/show/a3af8d2a0a604e9592e5122cebdfd1c6/summary
  10. I can't, and won't, get drawn too far into the wheres and whys, partly because others are managing this via the proper channels, and partly becuse I am not fully up to speed on all the angles, but there are a huge raft of environmental issues around Hickling, from protected animals to protected weed.
  11. Having been on Hickling this weekend, it nearly is
  12. Toilet roll in the Forces ? - surely that's up to room service to supply
  13. Yep definate dip. lights gone so got full benefit of the suspension test tonight
  14. I have wondered if there is a way of coming up with some kind of water powered dynamo to top the batteries as you move. Won't provide huge amounts I know, but add panels and it'd help lessen the charge surely
  15. Anyone else browse this site: https://riverlevels.uk/river-bure-hoveton-hoveton-broad-tidal#.YrrTF-zMJaQ
  16. Depth can be more of a problem than height if the mast is easily dropable. I carry 30' of mast, but it can be down in less than 5 minutes if not carrying sail. The depth is about the same as you propose with the modification, and there are places I've touched bottom on low tides so certainly worth doing Heating - I have an 'all in one' diesel heater that when I need it sits in the cockpit and is ducted through a hole in the washboard. On remotes so I can operate it from inside. Works great and was only around £100

    Just has a daft thought, and hope it's just that : SAFE exit slip on roads is marked by by green cats eyes; " stay between the posts the novice is told" - then they see a line of green bouys -is that the safe exit ?
  18. ..... if I slow too much I lose steerage - no prop wash as offset outboard
  19. Working - at least the office has air con though
  20. Funny enough I had a couple from Londis Coltishall for breakfast Saturday.
  21. Yes - in Private hands ( look up BTAC / Barton Turf Activity Centre )
  22. I LIVE IN BARTON TURF. AND I AM FURIOUS. and yes I am shouting. This is one of the most iconic and beautiful moorings on the Broads, and to lose it is so very sad Oh - and don't forget where the water point is ......
  23. I looked at this and my initial thought was 'only 8000 hours' my car's done 260000 miles. Then I did some sums, and depending on what I called my average speed was looking at 5 to 8 thousand hours. Kind of puts it into perspective
