I seem to recall there was powerboat racing today ... that could be interesting ... or was that last week?!

It was postponed from the 11th, now next Sunday 25th which is a bonus for us as we are booked in the Yacht station Saturday.

Now moored up on the pontoon at Beccles , have booked for two evenings as I love it here .

Hopefully if i make it on the 'not so mighty Mutt' I'll have a walk round to see you, thats if i can still walk after riding the bike so far.

[Pipedreams]

I had planned on going to the boat on Tuesday on the bike but not in the temperature forecast, now planning on Thursday, hope to see you in Beccles if you're down there near the weekend. won't be going anywhere as doing some painting.

has the roadworks at sutton bridge finished yet, or do i need to detour

There's still some temporary lights there but not in use mon/tues when we passed so no hold ups.

The next thing is going to be overnight closures on the A17 near Cranwell that are ongoing for the next 5 weeks

I would love to eat at the Ivy House. Unfortunately, I doubt that they allow dogs in. Not that kind of place. I don’t think The Copper Smokehouse do either, but I’m crossing my fingers that they still do takeaway. 

The smokehouse say they are dog friendly, i always like a drink in the Broadview opposite the Yacht station their lunch time snacks are very good too.

Does anybody know the state of the road works at Sutton Bridge? I'm down from Saturday and just wondering if i should take the Wisbech detour. 

Just come back this afternoon, it's fully open again, no holdup.

We've noticed quite a few pubs closed on mondays. With many pubs short of staff it seems this is the only way they can get a break.

Yes, also the New Inn at Rockland arn't doing meals for the same reason, they lost a lot of trade yesterday with boats turning up and leaving as no food on.

We are down on Sunday for the week but staying south. Booked in at Oulton Broad with friends '3 boats' for the Power Boat racing on Thursday, looking forward to that. (we are not racing).

I believe the “gentleman” to whom you refer is at Irstead parish moorings 

I belive he would if you overstayed the 24hrs or are you thinking of the one at Reedham quite a while ago who would shout out if you were too close to the mooring near his house.

[Mooring Fees]

Yes, won't be rushing back there, then think what you get for £10 at Oulton Broad Yacht Station.
