From just watching vlog you wouldn't know unless you very observant and notice the reflection of other person in window at one point [emoji3] Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

In the vlog it's done as though he alone on fair executive in April but he had a companion with him . Russell has said this himself on Facebook when asked how he was allowed to solo hire . NBD unfortunately don't allow solo hirers . Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

I believe that in Russell's case when he hired from NBD he actually had a companion with him who wasn't featured in his vlog . So he wasn't actually solo hiring on this occasion Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

Some years ago i had a version of the rover 75 the MG ZT-T. basically the sports estate version. It was a great car to drive very comfortable and well specced with equipment . Only downside was it was a V6 petrol engine and thirsty [emoji23] Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

These were great little boats when on Lake Windermere (I used to work hiring them out years ago as a teenager in holidays) and having seen MBA's pics of improving and tidying them up Im definitely going to have a hire of them next time Im down on the broads .

It was a tongue in cheek comment due to fact whenever seen the Rascal on BA in passing that the fenders are always up ! But in future I shall keep my observations and thoughts to myself .

Standards are slacking on Trixie ... fenders left down :-)

Got a pretty similar boat here on Lake windermere

Welcome Admiral

We have just spend last week up at loch ness caravan site and the boat traffic on the loch was very quiet with just a few cruisers out and about. Definitely recommend as have others to stop at Falkirk and see the wheel and the spectacular Kelpies - try to view them at dusk as they are spectacular all lit up

great to be reading holiday tales again - well done great write up :-)

Thankyou for sharing this whole trip enjoyed watching it all unfold at the time on the tracker. Well done all involved Great video as usual Robin and your honesty has to be admired regarding reasons leaving at Dover

Growing up on shores of lake windermere and reading all the Ransome books and spending all weekends and holidays sailing on the lake as a child and often camping on an island or somewhere on the shore in my own little swallows and amazons adventure with friends :-)

Well done to all involved fantastic effort by you all dam shame about the bridge
