To add to all the other temporary lights / roadworks in the area it is advised to stay away from the Wroxham area at the moment as the traffic is pretty bad I think there is a gas leak or some work on the main going on near to the vets backing up to well past Roy's garage one way and well over the bridge the other, it's been like that for over a week now.

'I generally ignore the poor information and advice that pops up on this forum'

Hi Alan Vodafone in Horning isn't to bad now we certainly don't have a problem at Richardsons moorings.
Dont get me started on parts of further north in Norfolk though, as we are in between houses at the moment we are in a barn conversion near Alysham inside zero, zilch ,Jack, trying to sort out work is a real pain in the a***e job!

At Neatishead if 3 boats are together in 1 party (1in the middle )at the head of the moorings that's fine. (A lot of people aren't as accommodating as you Griff)
A couple of years ago one boat came down the middle and moored at the end and beggerd off presumably to the pub. An older gentleman came back from his walk ready to set off to meet his wife he was stuck there and couldn't move until the next day as it went dark. He was most upset as the people concerned didn't think they had done anything wrong . He said it had put him off the broads after 50 years and was to take is boat back.

Hi Mark best not to use a grinder in the house as a major dust problem
best option bolster or cold chisel as gentle as possible to chip away the tiles you need to remove.

Hi Paul I have a very handy Halfords advanced Cree 2aa £9.99 torch
After reading great reviews at the price didn't think it would be as good as it is, light, fit in pocket easy, feels much more expensive and for picking up numbers ideal.

We nearly went for one of these 10 years ago but felt not quite right with the lease which was then with yellow properties.
this latest crowd sound even worse, although they seem to change hands ok but I guess that's down to location, location if nothing else.

Met Fred once, he came to a local steam engine rally. He showed me & my wife great courtesy by doing us a decent brew as he explained the ins and outs of his engine. I often wonder if he had as much trouble understanding me as I did him. I like the warmth and down to earth nature of Northern Folk, and Fred was one of the best!
Yes Peter good old gradley Lancashire lad Fred From the right side of the Pennines.

I know from past experience that the bridge height gauge is quite accurate, so anyone who uses this area often what is the low water reading on average ?
We need 8ft 8in air draft on the new boat and the last couple of times we have done the safe option and gone all round the new cut way, but next Friday (5.30 slack water) the daylight will be against us to get to Somerleyton.

Our first boat we called Fri 13th as that was the day we got married all those years back (30 years next year wow doesn't time fly when your enjoying yourselve) ha ha.
It was a Quicksilver 540 with a rather nice, quick and smooth Honda 90hp out board on.
We trailered the boat round the coast but mainly used on the Broads.
No body wanted to buy her with that name but when we took the name off her she sold in a week!
It was quite sad when we had to sell her. But on to bigger and better things as they say.
now 3 boats later we are on to Endeavour a Westwood 340C and loving it !
