[Itenary 7 Days]

Many many thanks all for your advice,  speedtripple, Vanessa’s, Mr Nog ( regards to Mrs Nog and any other Noggins)   ransworth, Swan R and Hylander. On reflection, better to have a relaxing and enjoyable time rather than stress about tide times aircraft, bridge heights etc. Thanks again. 

 

[Itenary 7 Days]

Hi sorry to ask , been looking on the forum, which is most excellent. Can anyone provide links from previous posts or give advice about traveling south to north the end of July start of August. As I understand it is a very very busy time. Starting broom boat yard. Hope to head to Norwich then perhaps Beccles and or North. Any suggestions. Andrea my wife has never been in the south Broads, it’s her 50 th Birthday. We have hired a broom cadet. ..

I have posted earlier and had some good suggestions for places to eat, esp for her birthday.

Some fantastic photos. , loving the chat, buzz in the forum. 

[Where To Mud Weight And Top Tips?]

Is it ok to ask the hire company for an additional mud weight.? Also if I decide to stop put the weights out in a large broad. Any tips or can it be dangerous. What should I do  when outing the wights out.  What do you need to do or recommend to make is as safe as possible overnight.  Esp in southern broads

Gwan MAlenka....... love your story. Even been taking wee breaks at work to read it

 

[Malanka Tales]

Wow incredible journey.

[Any Welders Out There......]

Sounds like you have a fine taste in Whisky Paul. I really love the  knockando 18 year old . As for your cart/bogey . why not forget about welding and do it as we did when kids, wood, old pram or bike wheels, screws, nails nuts and bolts. Then build a fancy frame round it. 

A block of wood and bolt for the brake was only thing that kinda saved us from injury that and a pair of trainers. 

Good luck and  slainte mhathe. 

[Help Wanted, No, Needed]

Hi this might be dumb and don’t know where the Lady lives. I would contact local social work department, ask for an assessment by social work and O/T. They could and should asses your friends needs and either provide or recommend aids devices etc. 

I am aware that 5his might be a contentious issue. There should a sensory impairment team that could provide expert advice and support.

This a suggestion from someone that lives in Scotland so not know how it might apply in this ladies area.

Also it can be difficult getting the person to acknowledge and accept help esp people of your friends age. 

I really hope she gets the assistance she needs and deserves

 

[Time To Say Goodbye.]

My Wife sometimes lets me  wear-long trousers, esp when in company. However always gives me praise , sweets and the occasional smile  when I wear the shorts she always buys for me. ... looking at this forum, threads etc and pictures if allowed then is this ok?

 

['informal Moorings']

Sounds like a fantastic grand plan almost all encompassing the possible answers to so many questions. I can see you there sitting Stroking your ***** Grendel, lol

 

[First Night Mooring]

Great Dave. Really glad you got moored. 

Do members ever get stuck when it comes to mooring. Like no where to moor , hire craft no navigation lights. What are the options?

[Never Ending Story]

I don’t know that much about Boats Malanka but she looks really pretty. As well as a lot of hard work.  It amazes me though it shouldn’t, but the love and work that  forum members in particular and boat owners in general put into their craft.  It is really aspirational and inspirational. 

[Brooms Cadet Pet]

Thanks Hylander, will do re the poo.

[Gentle Reminder Gps Failures]

As I understand as stated earlier due to the binary system, and unexpected use many many years ago as to what all systems work today then infinity has been kind of defined and systems etc will need updated or changed, esp older chipsets,  based on older algorithms , then digital or whatever. My 12 year old son has been trying to 3xplain it to me. I am not sure if it’s tru3 or just trying to confuse me to fork out more money . In order to allow him to stay in a darkened smelly room, talking to virtual friends ,living in a virtual world. ... sorry  I am digressing and having a wee daddy rant. 

Try your phon3 and some up to date apps. There is a chap . I have seen many of his blogs, Captain somthing. He seems cool and appears to have apps on his phone. 

Keep on chugging. 

Kind regards 

Frank

My wife and i have hired Cavell and Delia when they were quite new, we found them excellent boats and just right for 2 people, they handled well and very comfy.

We found the canopy effective although a bit fiddly to put back up, we only lowered the arch once and found it heavy and as Cambridge Cabby mentioned lower the TV aerial as we forgot just as we approached Somerleyton bridge..........it didnt get damaged thankfully, we did find the table in the dining area had a block of wood fitted to floor and we kept bashing our toes on it.

The front berth is comfortable and has nice lighting which makes it cosy, the heating is very effective but you wont need it in July, the heads are compact and electric flush is handy however the shower takes a bit of getting used to.

We have taken both boats to Norwich and on northern broads with no problems, these two boats got us hooked on boating, we have also hired Horatio and Fry which are bigger, then only three weeks ago we hired Skipper2  which is similar to the cadets.

The staff at Broom are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble which is why we return.

Have fun, we are sure you will enjoy the boat.

 

Thanks Gary and Dawn, really helpful. I am sure we will have a grand time. Please PM me with any tips or suggestions. Thanks again
