It looks hot there Ruthie?

That sky looks beautiful

Only a couple of hours and I will be back home with a glass of beer before going to the pub

Glad you had a good birthday, hope you dont have to wait for the next big birthday to come back to the broads

Enjoy your cruise back to Loddon, and the White Horse tonight!

Watch that landlord, you've been warned he is a bad man!  

Ha,ha thanks Tim. Our daughter is getting married next year so no holidays for us but definitely looking to hire a boat the following year and already in the look out, wanting a bit more of a modern boat next time but can’t wait to do it again and looking to do 10days next time

Weather was scorching today and still hot and sticky, hope we get a ok nights sleep on the boat , sad to be going home as we could have done a few more days.

Hi BCKev11

Will look out for you , we did have a look earlier but couldn’t see you , what time did you moor ? 

[New Member And New To Boating]

Yes would always cancel a booking , not fair on businesses especially in these circumstances.

Will definitely let you know how it goes and thank you 

[New Member And New To Boating]

Big change of plan for meal , getting quoted £30 return and no taxi company will to do late evening so just spoke to a lovely lady at the Wine Vaults and we have secured a booking for this evening

What's the height of your Boat Ruthie? Should be a plate near the wheel

 

It’s 7ft with screen down . Looks like low tide in the morning around 8 to 9 but we also need to think about return as we want to head back to Loddon tomorrow so will only be able to spend an hour or two there .

[New Member And New To Boating]

We are on our way to Beccles and noticed a low bridge ( old bridge ) which look like it’s to low for our boat , does this mean we can’t visit Geldeston?

Take it you mean the White Lion? Never been in but looks to have good reviews. Why not give them a bell? Ask what time they open and more importantly when they close as things vary now. They can probably recommend a taxi too. Book it  (taxi) as soon as you can to take you there and back. They could even drop you off at one of the places mentioned for a drink and its not far back to the yacht station. I don't think the taxi will be a fortune in the grand scheme of things. 

[New Member And New To Boating]

Yes sorry the White Lion . We have decided to stick with this and arrange a taxi , White Lion have provided a number and having our table arranged , reviews look good so hopefully we will have a nice time.

Thanks again everyone

How far is town from Beccles yacht station ?

Is worth sticking with the Wheatacre WhiteHorse and then back to town for drinks ? 

 

[New Member And New To Boating]

So where is the Graze White Horse ? Is that a taxi ? 

[New Member And New To Boating]

Thanks Tobster.

I don’t mind walking 10 to 15 mins but want something a bit decent for food and drinks for birthday?

Checked this out and does look nice but tried to reserve tonight and got a answer machine to say closed and call back tomorrow so will try in the morning.

Got a feeling my 50th is going to be something not to forget

Oh heck! I assumed you realised the White Lion isn’t in Beccles. Hope it hasn’t spoilt your evening.

Nooo didn’t realise 

Not fancying a taxi journey to be honest , would like a short walk for food and drinks , any recommendations please ? 

[New Member And New To Boating]

Oh really ? No I didn’t realise this and thanks for the heads up , we are mooring up at Beccles Yacht station , does anyone have a taxi number please ? How far is it and are we close to any other pubs , bars after meal ?

Hi BCKev11

So sorry we couldn’t hear you , we realised too late we thought you said are you Ruthie ?? 

Yes we got a mooring outside hotel , it’s lovely here 

Just having a 2nd cold beer and then going to sit on our boat with the roof down and crack open the wine 

Where have you ended up today ?

[New Member And New To Boating]

We managed to moor stern on outside the Wherry hotel and currently sitting in the sunshine outside with a cold beer in hand .

For my birthday tomorrow we are going to have breakfast at the hotel as a treat 

It’s been a really fantastic holiday and a proper adventure and I just want to thank everyone who has helped us on this forum 

[New Member And New To Boating]

Hello 

Had a nice time in Yarmouth and what a beach 

We are now heading towards Oulton Broad but haven’t managed to secure a mooring overnight so any idea where it’s possible to moor nearby please ?

We have managed to secure a mooring for my Birthday tomorrow at Beccles
