Indeed!
Um, trying to guess from memory, bit of a stab, can't see the signal box? Electric post missing? Sure there's safety ladder near there, can't see it, layby pontoon (unless its out of shot) statue looks a bit odd, does it normally have a hat??
Ha! crossed with Grendel!!!
Looking again I think Jean is on the Paddy's Lane mooring rather than Barton Turf.
The fishing at Neatishead and Gays Staithe is a pain in the proverbial.
Isn't there a low white building, possibly a garage at the side on Oil Drum Lane or whatever it's called? ? Or maybe it's out of shot as it's fore shortened.
Yep! Been there! They usual look in amazement as they can't understand what you are doing.
A respected Boatyard owner advised us to "reverse with attitude" ie don't mess about! Sound advice. When it's clear go for it.
Fireman Sam is right, when pinned to the bank get the stern out and reverse away from the mooring.
You can get away with bow thrusters but risk the stern catching. Reversing out is always safest.
It's not as bad, I think the trick is to look at the local conditions rather than the numbers. We didn't venture South but otherwise no real problems. Mooring side on with springs reduces wind impact considerably. It's worse stern on, T shirt and all that
Not sure what it's called but the wooden 'fence' bit is missing on the left hand side.
It's too early - just can't think of the proper name at this time of the morning, yawn!!!
We had some of that in February! Well quite a lot! At least you have bow thrusters, they are not an essential by any means but a godsend in windy conditions. Take it steady and you'll be fine.
No, again a good challenge. I went in quite regularly when Steve and his Mrs (Trudi)?? ran it but I've only been in a couple of times since as it's been closed off and on. It's a reasonable walk but quite do-able. I thought someone mentioned that Jason Tipple's ex was running it but I could have dreamt it. Proper pub.
No, it was a toughie Lady V. I did cheat there as Fireman Sam pointed me in the right direction.
It could have been the Yare above Brundall - had a bit of that look about it.
