  2. I was down here a few weeks ago on holiday from sunny Yorkshire and amongst other pubs we visited the Maltsters at Ranworth and had an excellent meal. Hope this helps someone

  3. A few years ago , maybe 5or 6 I came with my family and hired a boat from NBD Faircraft at wroxham. On our first evening I walked with my stepdad through the boatyard and found a little pub called I think The Watershed. On three occasion since I have tried and failed to find it again even though Google has it shown on the map. Does it still exist ? Did it ever exist ? Am I going mad ?

  5. Shamelessly taken from another place, but deserves as wide an audience as possible. First Group are to drastically alter the Number 12 bus service from Norwich. Currently it serves Hoveton, Ludham, Catfield, Sutton and Stalham. The plan is to shorten the route to Hoveton, isolating the other communities. With the closure of Barclays in Stalham, those unable to drive would need this service to get to a Barclays in Norwich. 
    Having only recently discovered this service last Summer, I have used it several times since. Particularly useful if you want to visit Wroxham and are cruising solo. It can be very difficult as a privateer to get moorings below the bridge. On a number of occasions I have moored at Sutton and used the bus to get to Wroxham. On my last holiday we walked from Sutton to Stalham to do some shopping and then used the bus to get back so the shopping didn't spend to much time in the heat.

    As a frequent visitor to the area I shall miss the service, for the locals I can see this being a real difficulty. Barclays are closing in Stalham, so any Barclays customer without cars will need the bus to get to Norwich to get to a Barclays.

    Please take the time to sign the petition which can be found at http://www.normanlamb.org.uk/bus_petition?recruiter_id=34100

     

    Why not try to form a community bus service like the one in Hawes North Yorkshire ? They had a similar problem to the one under discussion here and a group of locals took up the cause. It’s called The Little White Bus if anyone wants to find out more. I’m from South Yorkshire but frequently holiday in Norfolk and have used the bus to get from Johnston Street caravan club site into Hoveton.
