  1. This sounds really good - congratulations. Exactly where in Horning are they please? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  2. Hope you find someone - maybe open the criteria up to ladies but it may look a bit weird now! Hoping the weather good today off to a boat do ourselves & BBQing this eve. Fingers crossed for all. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  3. Ignore the pumpkins but I thought I would share the original boat bar from The Maltsters which resides at the Museum of the Broads ( which I am connected to - the museum not the bar) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  4. Yesterday afternoon was beautiful & presume it was Tan looked very content when I waived going past at teatime! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  5. I know Goodchilds do at Burgh Castle ( not quite Suffolk but nearly). Hope you get it sorted soon. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  6. Great video of the beautiful BA - love both Yarmouth & Lowestoft harbours & always find the length of time to get from Haven Bridge to the mouth of the Yare is surprisingly long. Have a good day Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  7. Great to see you had a dinghy - they are so much fun. Lovely photos - thanks for sharing! [emoji106][emoji571] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  8. I was wondering whether it was the one at the Museum of the Broads and have asked the Curator but not convinced it is! It would be great if it could be located. Just love Beccles - filled with history & quirky bits everywhere! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  9. I think it's a lovely idea and you also get to see Lake Lothing to boot! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  10. Lovely boat - Brooms had a couple of nice ones very similar in the 1980s called Seamaster! Hope you get the crew! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  11. Evening - if you haven't been south for a while a few places you won't have seen are 1. Whitlingham Broad - not accessible by boat but good 24 hour moorings on the river 20 metres from Broad - nice teashop 2. Hardley Mill - great moorings on the pontoon & well worth a look. 3. Waveney river centre - ferry takes you to Carlton Marshes 4. Oulton Broad - new ferry service to Lowestoft - think it's now working 5. Trip to Norwich - even if you choose not to stay the riverside has changed dramatically. Canoe hire also available in Norwich if you fancy a paddle upstream. 6. In Surlingham there is a vineyard called Wimbri - they sell the wine in Coldham Hall & Waitrose! They may do trips round the vineyard - moor at Coldham Hall. 7. Think you can get a trip round Langley Abbey -moor at Langley Dyke and check it out online - it's where the polo club is and around 300 metres from Langley Dyke. Haven't mentioned pubs etc as others have already covered that but just a few ideas for new things you may not have seen. Enjoy - sure you will have a fab time! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  12. We used Robins marine timber for our ceiling and it does look really good. We did fury and fine someone local with the same product and drew a blank. Having had a temporary cockpit floor for 6 weeks earlier this year (long story) made of MDF I will say it worked well but I wouldn't use it long term - the rubber matting was also superb!

  13. Full set of waterproofs is the way forward! [emoji106] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  14. Pleasure - a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  15. We took a trip on The Museum of the Broads' steam launch Falcon today to the Norfolk Punt a Club pontoon on Barton Broad. - they are also runjning the same trip tomorrow. A great couple of hours & took a few photos which I thought I would share. The organisers were also doing tea and cake on the pontoon! More action tomorrow to! Fabulous!
  16. Just checked online and they are even taking part in the Heritage Open Days - very impressive! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  17. Realistically we have had a good summer - in our house we all have Mediterranean suntans as a result of being on the river. Yesterday wasn't good and having literally paddled home from work I can confirm it was warm paddling & quite pleasant! Boating this weekend will be fine - good company & being afloat whatever the weather is just fabulous! Have a lovely day all. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  18. There are always idiots about whatever vehicles they are using. Having spent Sunday with hundreds of cyclists popping into the Museum of the Broads on the Tour de Broads I can say they were all just lovely. Here are a couple of photos from the day! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  19. Just to clarify I do the Twitter feed but I am in here as me! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  20. Good news re the sciatica easing a bit - be careful when getting in and out of the car - sit down & then swing legs round - nylon sheet or plastic bag good for this purpose. If you ever see a strange looking person doing exercises on a boat whilst it is moving give me a waive! Still hope to see you on the river one day!

  21. Will do - how many are taking part? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  22. I echo that one - definitely! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  23. Sorry moderators - this appears to be under the wrong thread [emoji19] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  24. If you are out and about on Sunday am there maybe one or two cyclists on the road. The race starts at Strumpshaw Hall and covers locations including Reedham, Wroxham, Ranworth & Stalham - the lunch stop is at the Museum of the Broads where volunteers will be handing out lunches. Loads of riders cycling for charities and it's a great way to highlight the beautiful Broads. http://www.revolutionevents.co/tour-de-broads#.VdVwlcSkqK0 Give them a wave!
  25. Dragons are for all & great for the little ones. I live here & will be doing the trail as it takes you to some lovely hidden bits you don't always visit. Totally agree re getting a hotel - far less faffing about involved! Glad you had a lovely time - walking along the river is fascinating as there are lots of remains of times past when Norwich was a port! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
