Hi all, in the first week of June a group of 12 of us will be hiring 2 boats for a 5 day break on the Broads. As we can't collect the boats until 2:30 and have to return them in the morning of the final day it's going to be more like a 4 day trip. I was wondering if anyone can suggest a route for us?
We are hiring the boats from Herbert Woods, and are looking at eating in a pub each day, either at lunchtime or in the evening, depending on where we are and when. Obviously with things as they are at the moment we will have to probably pre-book these. Despite all being in our 50's we are able bodied (relatively anyway) and will have 2 dogs with us, so a walk from the boat to a pub isn't a problem.
Herbert Woods have a couple of suggested routes on their website, the one we prefer takes us on the River Bure to South Walsham Broad, Ranworth Broad and Salhouse Broad. Then doubling back onto the River Ant to Barton Broad, before returning to the yard. Does this sound like a sensible route which will give us all we need?
Also, what is the mooring situation on the Broads? Considering we will have to find space for 2 boats? I have a cruiser on the Thames, and normally people will begin mooring up for the night around 4pm, is that the same on the Broads?
Any advice would be much appreciated, and we look forward to boating on a new waterway.
