Barton Broad outside of the marked channel is also a favourite of ours to mudweight as well as the two afore mentioned locations. Hickling is also another favourite - Assuming you can get under 'That' bridge

On 'B.A' we have a secondary mudweight.  I deploy this off the aft end if fishing or wanting the tv on as you say it stops the swinging about, however make sure the bow is into wind on the fwd mudweight before deploying the aft mudweight and if staying overnight keep an eye on the forecast for wind direction change.  If it is due to change direction, in itself not too much of a problem but if picking up in strength then lift the aft one up before lights out.  When we hire the 3 x Jewel of lights from H.W's they always give us a second mudweight too

Thanks Griff, added to the list ;-)

Hello Simon

A very warm welcome aboard the forum from Jay and I 

Our favourites for mud weighting are Ranworth Broad and Salhouse Broad, very pretty Broads with lots of boat activity to sit and watch in the sunshine although I believe there is  a charge for Salhouse. Look out for the ice cream boat too

Have a lovely time

Grace

Many thanks Grace (& Jay) !

Hi All

New to the forums but been on the Broads maybe 6/7 times previously so still a relative newbie, or feel it.

We're back with the kids (15 and 5) in August for 4 nights starting Wroxham. A couple of years ago we had a similar break and mud weighted on Little Hoveton Broad on our last night which was great. I was initially a bit nervous but it was great and we'd like to do it again, so looking for other good safe places to mud weight on the northern broads. Also, any tips on how to 'best' mud weight safely, I've read a few people who use weights front and back to stop the movement etc.

Any help is very welcome! Have a good week everyone.

Simon

New member to NBN although I've been browsing posts for a few weeks now, looks like a very friendly and informative bunch :-)

I've been on the Broads maybe 6/7 times over the last 20yrs and love it, normally hire for 4/5 days and starting to introduce the kids who also love it.

I've got a few questions, but I'll post these in the right places, glad to be on board!
