Hi Peter Welcome to the site from me I think you and Iain are talking about different boats The original Sparkling Horizon was a Safari 25 sold and replaced with another craft of a different type but the same name Regards Ray

That is typical of Dick I stand to be corrected but I do not think Dick and Gwen had any children ar least not involved in the yard. Brian I believe is Gwens brother and in later years ran the yard with Dick These days I believe Brian and Sue run the yard but am not sure who owns what Ray

Hi Iain Like you hired from Summercraft when Dick and Gwen ran it A real gent and lovely lady My car broke down once on arrival at yard Dick arranged for Garage to repair whilst I was on boat Real genuine people Ray

Hi Welcome from me too Hope you have a great holiday Ray

Hi Ron I agree with Jean Beccles is good plenty of pubs and places to eat Kings Head is a Weatherspoons also Bear and Balls as a good reputation. Oulton Broad as a good few places am sure Peter (Jenny Morgan) will recomend The Bell at St Olaves is good but mooring can be a bit difficult if the tide is running Loddon as a few pubs White Horse at Chedgrave and the Swan are good there are also a couple of other pubs but they do not do food. On the Yare there are several places fronting the river Ship and Ferry at Reedham, Red House Cantley Ferry Surlingham Any way wherever you go have a great time Ray

Prehaps Clive Would like to add to his fleet

Welcome to the forum John we are all friendly here Ray

Welcome Tempest from me as well have a great holiday Ray

Dukes Head Somerleyton Ray

I am a planning consultant by profession and agree with Peter planners are getting very difficult about granting permission in areas like Horning the only way is to research other permissions granted if any and find out how they achieved permission Ray

Hi Siddy hope you have a great holiday sounds like you need it Ray

Great read Villan Do not leave it to long coming back Ray

Norfolk Broads Direct as well

It has hardly stopped for three days in darkest Kent Dykes on the marsh are more full than I ever seen in August let's hope we get a good autumn Ray

There is a rumour that a member of the forum is connected with a possible re - opening Ray

Hi they are always advertised on there at very high prices have been for a fair while ray

In recent yes every boat I have hired as a sticker by helm re bridges and pilots Ray

Donation done well done Carol great site Ray Walker

Totally agree with your comment Iain Ray

Hi Old Wussername I would have done what you intended to do but legally I think it would be trouble calling the police is the correct option I think only they have the power not you and I as private citizens but as I said I would have broken and damm the consequences I would be prepared to argue out in court Ray

Thank you Carol looks like all had a great day Ray

Welcome Lurch We are all mad about the Broads here Ray

Just read the report so sad two young people have lost there lives my thoughts go to there families

It would appear from Biscuiteers thread in Holiday tales they are converting to additional Hotel rooms That is good news Ray

The Three Horseshoes did some good quality food years back like you Iain it was usually our first stop on arrival lunch and a pint of cider Ray
