The Lion!

I'm beginning to think that JF could be doing a crafty here. I can't be sure but number 1 looks very like the Lion inside although the pub has already featured in the same quiz So come on JF, are you trying to lead me and Mrs N up the garden path?

it used to block 'bitch' as Bitch in the Ditch used to alter it to wallflower or something so the American bit does sound right (doesn't do it now though )

Can only think of 3 that match that criteria Charlie and I thought 2 were closed, but I'm probably wrong. Me and Mrs Nog are closeted in a darkened room..........

Number 3 is the Lion at Thurne (good one JF) Me and Mrs Nog got our thinking caps on for number 1.............

Ha!! Number 2 is the Ram Having a think about the others......... Meanwhile Mrs Nog...............

We do that frequently, excellent train service, love Cromer. I suppose GY is a bit Marmite, each to their own!!

It's possible certainly although you might be better mooring at Stracey Arms and getting a cab as you would then be on the right side of the river for the main road.

Hi John The advice about low tide is basically to ensure that you have clearance under the bridges. However if you moor at the yacht station this isn't an issue as its before the bridges. If you moor there around low tide, it runs quite fast, you would be better to go through the bridges, turn and come back against the tide. The only place to moor at GY is the yacht station, the old Marina Quays in not safe. There are buses or the train. You could catch a bus or train from Acle although the village is quite a walk from the river. PS agree with others, bus or train good idea - even a cab if your feeling a bit flush although it shouldn't be a fortune.

Its the Loddon Swan

.........not yet JF, not yet.........I want to say Swan at Loddon but there again I don't want to be wrong

Ha ha, she sits all day and files her nails and twizzles her hair Seriously through, number one is the White Horse at Chedgrave, Mulling over 2, will be back shortly

Bet Grace wouldn't complain

Not me of course but that's looks like the New Inn at Rockland Mr Fire sir Good to see you back

Grace'!!

Enjoy JF - look forward to reports of your travels! Have s good one

I don't suppose it's strictly enforceable per se MM but if you went up there and fouled the prop on a shopping trolley I guess the yard could hold you liable??

Aw thanks Mr Q That's really helpful, much appreciated!

As far as I know you can navigate up to New Mills. Watch out for shopping trolleys though. The White Lion is quite near New Mills, the Ribs is further downstream. Griff can no doubt confirm.

I took the photos on 16th and 17th May. The Lotto boat did get about, I've seen it at Norwich and the Berney as well as Beccles

Thanks for that Again like the A Rater low, sleek hull and a lot of sail, no wonder they fared better in the conditions

Thanks Liz It looks like a surfboard with a huge sail. No wonder they did well in the conditions! So I guess a yacht has to be of a recognised construction type to enter? Assume a DIY job would not be eligible?

Fascinating thread Please excuse my ignorance of all things flappy (although my Dad was a keen sailor) but could someone post me a picture of what an A Rater and a Norfolk Punt look like? I guess a cruiser is a Hunter type yacht or the new Martham one?
