Wonder if its related to the following story? Could it be some enterprising individual trying to keep people on the footpath? Now who manages the park? And I wonder if they know about the signs? Normally you have to be very careful about what chemicals get sprayed in a National Park. http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/environment/durex-wrappers-and-dog-mess-not-what-you-expect-at-a-county-park-1-5111093

Playing devils advocate for a while, should you be subjected to obscene or lewd behaviour whilst sat in a pub garden mid afternoon? Now imagine you were with a family gathering and there were young children present, should they be subjected to it? Such behaviour shouldn't be witnessed anywhere, but you probably wouldn't be surprised to encounter it down The Prince of Wales road late at night at the weekend, but then young children are probably, or should be, tucked up in bed by then. However a pub garden next to a river mid afternoon? time and place for everything and all that. Lot of fuss about nothing? I'm not so sure.

Grace, This is Norfolk, I'll be lucky to get a signal, let alone find my phone after a few beers. Sheringham still has a lot of Victorian charm, I'll see if I can send a telegram from The Post Office. Weather forecast is looking reasonable so I expect the turnout to be good. Was difficult trying to find somewhere to stay when I booked five weeks ago. This time of year the B+Bs don't like single night stays at the weekend, so I have been forced into staying two nights. Oh well, better make the most of it then Still should give a little time for some shopping at that well known Gentlemans store Blyth & Wright. I visit each year with no idea what I want, and always leave with more than I can carry.

Its easy to forget there is more to Norfolk than just its "National Park" Starting tomorrow and running until Sunday is the 16th Annual Beer Festival organised by the North Norfolk Railway, known as "The Poppy Line" With over 120 Beers and Ciders, I'm unlikely to test them all, but I'll see what I can do I attach the beer list for Howard's approval. http://www.nnrailway.co.uk/page.php?pid=14 THE BEER LIST 2017.pdf

I wonder if the stag party lectured Broads Beat on the perils of playing in the mud? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-36019751 Just to add a little balance and all that.

Hardly the image you want for a National Park!

I posted this back on the 3rd May regarding Upton Dyke. I don't suppose a few red buoys will stop it. I saw one of Richo's 44ft finest turn about halfway down the dyke two weeks ago. The method seemed to involve reversing till the fenders made the boat bounce of the quayheading and forward until the bow rode up the profiled bank and dropped back down again. 20 attempts later they made it round and promptly departed.

The one thing that really gets my goat, is people moaning about people moaning.

The point being that if the boat cannot be moved, the trouble makers will have to stay where they are until dealt with by the authorities, rather than moving on and creating havoc elsewhere.

Why not? If no one is sober then the boat stays where it is. They do it with cars in America.

Perhaps the answer is not to ban such parties, but too make one member of the party fully responsible for the party. Perhaps by fitting a breathalyser ignition interlock and making it a condition of hire that at least one member of the party has to remain sober and responsible. If they get drunk as well then no one will be able to start the boat engine and at least the trouble is restricted to one spot until they are sober. Heavy penalties for late return of the boat.

Great Railway Journeys Yesterday afternoon Bill (Housden) our Collector of Tolls and Head of IT took the afternoon off to helm Olive, one of the wherry yachts, owned by Wherry Yacht Charter. This was for a special event, the filming of an episode of Great Railway Journeys with Michael Portillo. One of our launches helped the camera crew get the images they wanted. Our Communications team are also helping a TV production company prepare for the filming of an episode of Great Canal Journeys with Timothy West and Prunella Scales later in the year so some interesting TV programmes to look out for in due course.

It's only a short length, but the BA will probably allow Quadruple mooring to maximise it's usage.

Not had to make a claim so far, but the annual increases have always been very small. In the first few years whilst building up my no claims it often went down by a few pounds per year. As a bonus the BA have confirmed that they meet the requirements of The Broads Act with regards to the requirement for third party insurance

N+G for me as well.
