Our mornings walk and exercise today  was around Salhouse broad. Living at the other end of the village we don’t get there very often as we are lucky to have many lovely walks through the fields around here. It was a bit strange having no cars on the car park which is having many trees cut down and revamp inc the dreaded pay and display machine. It was very calm  and surreal  with no boats and people around.

Hi all, hope you're all well and safe. I'm new to the Broads and boating and was hoping to purchase a small cabin cruiser/motor boat with overnight sleeping in it.

I will be visiting the Broads after this damned pandemic is over, sooner rather than later.

Could anyone help with ideas for an inexpensive starter boat that i can tow with my 2.8 deisel jeep and possibly moor up for few months in summer and then bring it home after.

I was looking at Falcon 22 Shetland Saxon or 4 + 2 or possibly a Viking.

Also recommendations on mooring.

I live in Peak district about 3.5 hours away.

Regards and STAY SAFE
