if you find that a little slow then this Has been known to hit 40 mph!!! They wouldn't qualify for 3RR as they are single handers but they could do the Tricycle winter mini 3RR. And now the cold truth, A, we don't often get the wind speeds these boats require. B, it is even rarer to get the wind in the right direction on the river C, on a river they would never get up to flying speed between tacks on the river. D, they might get up flying on Barton or Hickling but one bit of weed and you'd come to a very rapid stop....

NO it wouldn't qualify for 3RR but this would. Down wind it has a special point for Grace too.... 20 plus knots and there is no speed limit under sail power!!!!

All the great abbeys and monasteries though they are seen as remote now, were actually on major routes. Especially round the coast and up rivers, travel by boat was easier than land until the railways came.

They have been busy, that hole by the Coltishall road has been mostly filled with concrete definately a temporary access road for the build, mean time there was single lane working with lights there, you couldn't reach 30 mph!! There is also a big bulldozer pushing back all the soft soil to the sides. As I reached the mini roundabouts in hoveton they were loading the temporary lights into the back of a van. Couldn't see what they did today though.

Well Danny Millet won it, now he's feathered in Green

Stupid machine won't let me edit again, so I'd like to add wrong "your" should be "you're", cheaper barrels are available and it's recycling not buying new...

New cars being made in Norfolk New cars being made in Norfolk?!!

Gone are the days when that sort of thing was a regular move on the railways.

An interesting and enjoyable read.... My food hunger each time I came home from Saudi was, bacon butties and pork pies!!! and still is if SWMBO is not looking....

The outbreak of work has Extended on the Coltishall road, there is a 3ft? deep hole roadway width, running 50ft toward the airport, it looks like they've deeply excavated, to a solid base, for an entrance road to commence building. More very large earth moving equipment is on site and the metal fencing has been erected. Similarly on the Wroxham road various holes and embankments have been build and more machinery has arrived. Oh and the mini roundabouts at Hoveton have sprouted more signs warning of 4 way traffic lights, I'm expecting a long queue tonight...

An out break of work!!!, JCBs, mini diggers, and a big pile of metal fencing panels by the side of the Coltishall road.

I would point out that Porsche is named after Ferdinand Porsche and Mercedes was named after the Daughter of Emil Jellinek an early designer /founder of Mecedes. Me, I got a name that appears to be that of a Battle in Eritrea, followed by a surname as being used as a second Christian name. When just about every other boy was Matthew Mark Luke or John. Not Good.... I did work with some one called Paul O'Donnel Which sounds alright but everyone called him POD
