There is a path from Acle Bridge to the centre of the village. Takes me and Mrs Nog about 30 minutes to walk it.

2 possible problems at Acle either mooring with tide (instead of against it) and the offshore wind. First easy to overcome. Second, stand near bow when mooring with stern and bow rope, step ashore and pull stern in. Easy to say I know but practice makes perfect. I'm not sure I'm brave enough to post Mrs Nog photo However she is better than any hot water bottle (especially after a few gins)

Absolutely!!! Top tip. You should see Mrs Nog's winter bedtime attire. I'm very tempted to post a photo.......

Double duvets work well. We go out extensively in winter and always ask the yard for an extra duvet. Its suprising the difference it makes. We've never plugged in yet. Buying cable and plugs and heaters could be expensive. Don't be tempted to plug in the existing system. Pop to Lathams and buy a thick duvet. Yards tend to supply summer weight ones.

......piloting a 42 footer down Upton Dyke single handed in Summer could be interesting. Bow thrusters??

I suspect Poppy would be the Upton expert. Isn't Cove pretty much next door to Swancraft? I'm sure we have a Forumite who moors there.

It was certainly opened in a refurbished form in December last year. Personally I liked the old pub which I think had more character. Lovely little hidden garden out the back too. However times change and I'd rather see it open than flats. They sold proper beer too on gravity.

The Ram possibly but we'll keep mum about that!

OMG - I feel duty bound to have a word with Paul..... ...but there again he has met you!!!!

Not got on the Swancraft waiting list Mr Fire sir!!!!?????

Good idea, Woods should have a good few boats out so there will be plenty of room. The yard staff would assist if needed I'm sure.

You would have Fireman Sam as a neighbour!

......all old hat of course but the bit about mooring with the wind blowing off the bank is just as relevant today!

Cracking book indeed!

Brian Eno was born in Suffolk so JM should approve Listen to Virginia Plain Mr Fire sir

Agree JM - that was a couple of years ago - be interesting to see if Malcolm can get a photo.

Didn't realise that, bit like Wayford. Wonder if that's why the board is a bit pessemistic?

Could be a welcome boost to the campaign. Didnt know he lived in Geldeston! Changed a bit since the Roxy Music days! https://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2020-10-06/record-producer-brian-eno-joins-fight-to-save-his-local-pub

Wonder if it's one of Strowagers - Looks clever stuff

Is this it? Sorry about the quality - take from a video. Reedham - December 2018

Ditto and welcome. If you have internet connectivity during your trip don't hesitate to ask us any questions as you go along

You don't get to see the jokes...but there again.................

Sound advice. Good job it was Salhouse Broad and not Reedham on an ebb tide!

I bet Sam is probably relieved she's not a full time member!!

Pardon!!!
