  1. Loving following all this. My calculation is 2025 litres
  2. The boat you saw sold might have had underlying problems and the owner may have been desperate to sell.I have often seen the same model boat cheaper but when you start having a good look round you often find the dearer one the better.Is the boat with a broker or private sale as some private sellers are dreamers when it comes to valuing their boat.
  3. I think the Councillors who issued the notice should be made to pay the compensation not us council tax payers.Should never have gone that far in the first place. I hope the national media report this so the owners name is cleared.
  4. Try Brian down Griffin Lane Thorpe . If no one there phone number is on gate.
  5. Put a comment on Trip Advisor as management of these establishments read and answer these comments.Had a bad meal at a well known Brewers Fayre and wrote and complained and now have a £40 voucher to spend which expires the day after my birthday. If your complaint is justified you should be compensated. Write to the management,no good complaining to the waiting staff, they don't give a monkeys.
  6. Was going to have a couple of hours out but changed my mind now
  7. The river was certainly not quiet yesterday, but the majority of boats were day boats. More people seem to be going for cottage holidays and if day boat not included they hire one.
  8. Very interesting to watch. Look forward to seeing more.
  9. Cobbleacre worth a try or the old Wensum fishery at Costessey which I think is now run by Barford Fisheries. Always large Carp in there when NDAA had it.Worth a call. Another syndicate is Lenwade Common lakes or The Bridge Lakes at Lenwade which is run by the pub.
  10. I am looking at buying a 2nd hand small outboard as a back up on my 20ft Shetland and toyed with the idea of buying a new electric outboard with a 50lb thrust just to get to a mooring so can sort problem. Anyone got one on a boat this size.
  11. I don't have a problem paying for a mooring,at least it keeps most of the hire craft away. They have spent enough on hiring the boat so don't want to pay to moor as well.No more early stops to make sure you get a mooring. There are other private moorings on the river which charge more than this for day and night and also have no facilities either so lets not be too critical of Mr Cator. And they double moor as well.
  12. Good luck to your B.I.:L. He did well to see it through. Most project boats finish up on Gum tree after a couple of weeks.
  13. Getting near end of financial year. Got to use the cash up.
  14. Went down Wroxham broad with the dog this afternoon and the public car park had more construction vehicles than on the new NDR. There was a small notice on slipway last week saying it is going to be refurbished. By the look of the equipment they are going to do a lot more than that. It will be interesting to see if it will be available to the public when completed. The Yacht Club are not going to recover that sort of money from an honesty pay machine. A lot of fishermen are going to be disappointed as there is no sign to say car park closed.
  15. Just had to go and slacken ropes on boat as water very high at the moment. Right up to top of quay heading at Wroxham. There is a flood warning in place for the Waveny and Yare tonight at Midnight.
  16. Looking at wind strength over next few days you would be best to wait until Tuesday when wind speed is due to drop to 7mph. Enjoy your trip. I went out last Tuesday and it was fantastic so lovely and quiet and traffic free just how the Broads should be.
  17. Good job the sign was put up as I was going to give it a piece of meat next time I went out.
  18. If they had an injection for Man Flu I would have it. Until this is available I will live without the common flu injection.
  19. Try Sabena in Hoveton. Always done a good job for me and my neighbour.
  20. Any signs up at Woodbastwick yet?
  21. I have no objection to paying. The moorings at the back of Salhouse always have some availability and you don't get knocked about like you do on free moorings.As the saying goes you get what you pay for.
  22. I see the 24 hour mooring signs have been removed from Percys Island and Woodbastwick. I contacted the Broads Authority who tell me the lease expired on July 10th and Cator estates want to manage them. They would not let the BA renew the lease. Interesting to see what happens now. Nothing to say Private Moorings Tuesday when we were there.
  23. Fish Fished the Bure at Hoveton yesterday. Good quality roach but bites well spaced out. Looks a lot of fine debris in the water from the heavy rain. Should be a good season once this clears.A friend fished Belaugh and said same thing,nice size fish but bites slow.
