Bugger😬

Keep of that Red bull.

Great picture taken by a drone !

is there a turning point or just a 10 point turn

Can someone tell me on the map where the Staithe is as it looks like you can take two options and it looks very narrow

Thanks Neil, Will try but don’t want to risk being stuck on the other side. Managed to get up to Wayford on ladymore this year and have a meal in the hotel. Is there anything above the bridge worth seeing. Still looking forward to Coltishall which we could not do last year and How hill which we could not stop at as we needed to get back under Ludham at low tide. Thanks for the replies

Grendel, Thanks I had planned to do that and noted down the numbers of the potter and Wroxham pilots. Biggest worry was being stuck the other side of the bridge for a few days, maybe get Herbert woods to fetch some of those big blue barrels

Only there for a week and don't fancy tackling Breydon water just yet lol. May look as the southern broads next time though.

Hi Mrs and Mr Nog, First of all thanks for taking the time out for the reply much appreciated. Nice to know about the handling as this will be only my second time but I must admit I did manage it quite well in Ladymore 2 which is at 8ft 6in air draught, one day on malthouse broad was interesting as it was very windy. The good thing about it was the upper cabin which gave a fantastic all round view for the novice. There is only myself and the wife so room wise we should be OK Ladymore 2 was very cosy (small). I did wonder if you could see straight through for the stern on mooring and we did order the microwave at the time of hiring. The air draught is stated at 6ft 10in which is one of the reasons we booked it as I would like to get to Coltishall and Hickling, we pick the boat up on the Saturday and I think looking at the web site 4pm is the collection time. I have looked at the tide times for June next year and low tide is 5pm so hopefully we can pick the boat up and maybe get straight under Potter and get up to Hickling, I may try and book a mooring at the pleasure boat inn or risk it if there are plenty of moorings up there. Then get back under the bridge the following evening. Once again thanks for the reply and the pictures.

Replied without signing in so it may appear twice or mods will not approve it. Gracie, we could but we have both booked the annual leave etc. The way I look at it, it will give us more time to explore and cool beers in the sun hopefully

Bluebell I did the same but they are all old ones latest i could find was from 2017.

Hi All, We enjoyed our first adventure so much this year on Ladymore 2 we have booked again for next June (can't wait). This time we have booked Evening light 2 from Herbert woods as I wanted something that will go under the bridges. Just wanted to know if anyone had been on it this year as I can't seem to find any reviews/videos of the boat. Only one downfall I have booked for the 5th June overlooking the fishing season had not started Hopefully the bloody virus will have done one by then

Excellent love the aerial shots

Hope to be doing the same this time next week great picture.

All looks very quiet

Cheers Alan, was going to take some of those did he have any luck with them. Was going to get some Maggots and casters if possible but would like to get them just before we set off in Wroxham.

Hi All, Planing on doing some fishing whilst we are traveling around. Does anyone know if the tackle shops in wroxham sell bait as well, direct angling looks like tackle alone. Thanks in advance

Hi all, Thanks for all the info much appreciated its the simple things like holdalls not cases pointed out in SwanR's post. I wasn't too bothered about mooring up at the popular pub's etc but your reassurances help with not feeling I will be up the creek without a mooring for the want of a better expression. I will ensure I take plenty of food/drink and a basic amount of fishing tackle. Regards,

I can't cook while cruising around in circles OK from what you are all saying there will be somewhere to moor up even if it is using the Rhond anchor I'm just worrying over nothing. I did intend to put plenty of food and drink onto the boat. Begs another question how long do the 240v inverters give you on average (no hair dryers etc) Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks, What about the ones on the river bank between the bridge and Arcle dyke.

Hi, thanks for the info. I have noticed on the map just down river from Pedro's there is a lot of moorings on boat dyke lane, are these private and accessible for overnight with a fee.

Hi all thanks for the responses. I did try and post again last night but for some reason it never appeared. We pick the boat up from Brinks on Sat 5th Sept so on advice IF we manage to get away Salhouse broad has been recommended. I am probably worrying about nothing but being new to this would like to know I will be able to get moored up at night. I was going to put plenty of food and drink on the boat as I did read/watch somewhere about not getting in where planned and going hungry We are so looking forward to it and just trying to gather as much info as possible from the knowledgeable people on the forum. Regards,

Hi All just a quick question. Can moorings be pre-booked at the popular destinations and boat yards. Thanks.

Thanks Fred, Just me and the wife so should be OK for space. Didn't want anything bigger as we'll be first timers at this, anywhere else you would recommend. Regards,
