Hi LL, I most certainly am moored beside you in Wroxham, or should I say was as I am about to leave now (hope I don't wake you) at 0540, heading back down South
I noticed Evening Shadow as I came in, if I had known it was you on board I would most certainly come and said hi when I arrived.
I got back in from the pub last night and after sorting the kids I thought it was a little late to come knocking so I do apologise and i didn't think you'd appreciate a 0530 wake up call.
Hope to bump into you again soon though (not literally), we still need to give you that Southern drinker lesson don't we
Have a great time for the remains of your holiday mate
Cheers mate, yes it was an early night I'd been out in Norwich all day with my sisters young family enoying the Haloween festivities! (And a few pints with a another forum Rascal while they went shopping). I dare say our paths will cross again soon! And yes we've got to see if you northerners can drink lager like a southern softie.

Mr Fire, it's been a while since I've been around & always enjoy a seasonal tale! This one has particularly piqued my interest as your moored next to me in Wroxham I believe and the shadows do make a striking pair! Do say hello if you're around!

Just a warning a friend was passed a counterfeit fiver yesterday. At 1st glance/ touch it feels really real and looks quite good. Points I spotted were the colour in the blue round emblem has rubbed off and the window has no details. (The top one in photo is real) Thought it's worth sharing widely as it's the 1st I've seen and I expect there are more in the £10 too. See you all out and afloat soon!

I know this is way off the mark as far as boating on the broads goes, however I found it so interesting I had to share it. (Basically all the Victoria line stations have a unique piece of tiled art) it's interesting to know if you ever pass through when in town. Someone I know wrote a blog about it.

Cheap whips? Am I on the correct forum?

Me and my wife are really looking forward to it. The 11 year old twins are a bit meh especially as we have banned them using their phones/tablets, etc during the day. It is our first time boating and I doubt it will be our last even though we havent been yet.
Congrats on picking a great holiday! The kids will probably have too much to look at and do to bother with their gadgets! A set of cheap walkie talkies might be a gadget that they'd enjoy and would have a practical use. A beginner fishing set might be worth a go. Cheap whips and necessary advice can be had in Potter Heigham.

Congratulations!

Very light on details, like when and under what legislation this will be brought in under? Or is it just it just talking about enforcing something that already exists? It's not very clear on who will be doing the enforcement, it doesn't actually mention the police does it? Is this just click bait for people who like boating holidays and read the Daily Mail? I'll believe it when I'm being handcuffed for drunk cruising until then cheers everyone!
Just seen the date also... where on earth did you find it? Doesn't look like much happened in the last decade!

Yes, looks great. I should have hung around at PH earlier it all looked ominously quiet this morning!

Blimey. I get that from time to time. I assumed it's a London thing to be honest. Worth trying the council electoral reg people and the Street Naming and Numbering officer make sure it's all cosher on the system.

Is there nothing to be said for a Gin and Tonic??

Welcome.
My Mum is less mobile than she used to be and still enjoys cruising - a small step is a must these days when she is afloat and as others have said, the broads community will always help others out... or lead them astray to the nearest hostalry ;) Enjoy your trip Encore looks lovely.

Probably out on a limb here but bicycles and cities are a nightmare to me. They ignore every rule of the road, including pedestrian lights and plague pedestrianised areas and don't start me with those on a Deliveroo mission!

Yes it's the self driving bicycles that are the real menace though!

To revive an old thread.......That didn't last long.... what with the Withdrawal of Urbo from London and the notable absence of MoBikes at Manchester's cycle city conference a couple of weeks ago I wonder if the UK is not ready dockless bikes?!

Haha nope you didn't! I and I'm never grumpy when I'm afloat! I was awake listening to the rain. I did hear the whine of a bow thruster but it was nothing compared to the vans over the bridge!
I hope you had a safe journey back south and enjoy your 2nd week!!
