  1. They’re getting desperate! 😉
  2. I know there are a lot of people who ‘don’t do’ Facebook for one reason or another, however, the landowner has partly explained what is to happen at Langley. There are eight moorings, four upstream limited to 32ft and four downstream limited to 40ft. These are being named after the eight surviving wherries so I would imagine they will be clearly marked. If there is clear signage that they are ‘private’ bookable moorings I would hope there would not be too much hassle. The landowner has said that the booking system can be adapted as necessary. I’m glad Langley has not been lost to boaters and, personally, I don’t think the proposed charges are particularly onerous. If you don’t want to pay, don’t stop there.
  3. A common occurrence at Chedgrave during the summer unfortunately. The same thing happens at the Dutch Tea Gardens in Oulton Dyke, particularly at weekends. The BA hasn’t helped by installing a nice bench for them to sit on. The difficulty with wild mooring comes if you have a dog or dogs. Many of the nicest wild spots have very little access to land. I think that sums it up nicely.
  4. I wonder if now might be a good time to run a post office. The bosses are going to need to be squeaky clean for the foreseeable.
  5. I have two replacement hips and one replacement knee, the latter done only four years ago when I was 71. As long as you follow all the rules, look after and constantly exercise the joints as instructed, all will be good. Clambering on and off a boat is a good stretching exercise - within reason of course!
  6. Very sad to hear this news, Ian will be missed on the forum. Condolences to all the family.

    Unfortunately for some it’s not aggravation it’s the kick they get out of it - literally!

    I’ve only just caught up with your drama Kate, thank goodness it all turned out ok and you're relatively unharmed. Just shows how important LJs really are. It’s only in the last five years or so I’ve taken to wearing mine when on deck and mooring up etc. Realising I’m nowhere near as mobile as I once was, I don’t feel properly dressed without it now! Glad you’re ok after your experience.
  9. Isn’t that what the various factions are trying to do? Ie Broads Reform Action Group for one.
  10. I’ve always understood that the number on the transom is the maximum number of passengers allowed on the vessel. Presumably the max party is the number of ‘sleepers’ allowed in the hire party. That may all be a load of twaddle of course, no doubt someone will confirm.
  11. I know a lot of forumites don’t do Facebook but two letters have been sent to the Broads Authority regarding tolls, one from James Knight and the other from BRAG. Both are well worth reading. ‘Light blue touch paper’ comes to mind.
  12. Is your photo the BA moorings side of the river or the Upton side? Looks good walking.
