Thanks Jean, it is cold but heating working well on the boat and warm in the pub No issues so far, touch wood!
-
Oh dear, seem to have inadvertently stumbled upon a pub
-
Ranworth Dyke was clear but frozen on Malthouse Broad. They were busy dredging though!
-
Thurne Dyke
-
Might be some trains tomorrow, working on Plan B It's a lovely day
-
Cockshoot frozen halfway down, side dykes frozen. Oulton Broad a no no
-
Spoke to the lovely chaps at OBYS Oulton Broad frozen solid and no chance of thawing tomorrow. So no Caxton Club.... unless......
-
.... BTW the ice is on the inside Might scrape it off for Mrs Nog's gin
-
I'll try to do more photos M And you are right, keep where the tidal flow is. Tad frosty this morning but the river is fine
-
Thanks Jean Just switched the heating on now. It's been firing up all week without the need to run the engine so very pleased. Also Mrs Nog has very warm feet. Number one priority today is to avoid icey areas so pretty much main river today. Hope to go through Yarmouth tomorrow weather permitting of course
-
Warm welcome in the Swan and didn't get booted out early either. Mrs Nog continued on the gin trail so a very enjoyable evening all round
-
Endorse Griff comments about not going through ice. We are hopefully being very careful and sticking to the main rivers. Problem is when you get sustained cold weather, that's when the ice builds up. I'm thinking back to 2010 when we had a prolonged cold spell. The beast from the east was bad but didn't go on for such a sustained period. Will see how we go tomorrow!
-
Thanks Liz!! Mrs Nog very happy Apart from the fact we are getting booted out after this one Swan here we come
-
Quite a bit of ice around as we speak. Many side dykes affected ditto Salhouse and I guess usual suspects Ranworth Wonack etc. Need to be careful out there at the mo!!
-
Mrs Nog duly informed. She's like a donkey to strawberries with gin so watch this space And yes, I was amazed to find beer of that quality. It would be rude not to have another wouldn't it?
-
Hi Liz went to Cromer yesterday but yes, no trains today. Back in Horning and amazingly the Ferry is open and even more amazingly its got 3 Blind Mice Juice Rocket on, good form too. Just waiting for the inevitable announcement that they are closing early. Then back to the dreaded Gloombar
-
Unfortunately closing early seems to be the name of the game these days Thanks but escaped Faircraft Loynes at lunchtime and didn't want to get frozen in tonight so we re located to Horning as the tidal flow should stop any freezing (hopefully)
-
Ha ha! Still frozen. Tried to persuade nice lady from Faircraft Loynes to get their tug out and break the ice but to no avail. In hindsight should have moored at Hotel Wroxham as main river is clear. Might have to repair to the Kings Head Hoping temperature will be up a bit by the time we get to Oulton Broad.
-
Tis a tad parky this morning!
-
No sign of life on Sunday. It would help if pub hours were a bit more predicable but as we are finding to our cost this is not the case. Kings Head in Hoveton closed early tonight too.
-
Thanks for the heads up Aiming to travel South on Thursday with OBYS the first stop. Mrs Nog reckons the weather will improve slightly but we are not taking any risks at all with ice so always have a plan B.
-
We keep missing you by a whisker! We will catch up soon. Cruising time is precious to us so we do tend to set off early! Yes they were all private boats huddled round the electric. We were at the far end.
-
Safely tucked up in Faircraft Loynes yard. Need to watch for ice but keeping a sharp eye on the situation. Ice on Salhouse and Wroxham Broads. Moorings at Horning very busy!
