give it a go

yes, it is working for me now, last night it was not showing

they are having problems at the moment, no one can get on be patient

dont worry about it soupdragon, just go on down and mingle, you will be ok. it will be starting to thin out from around 3pm so i am sure you will be ok

anyone on the river this bank holiday could visit barton regatta, this event is not for the faint hearted, loads of sailies and even more cruisers, navigating from one end to the other can be quite daunting for anyone new to the broads but in my opinion it is well worth a visit

the last bridge you will see on your way from yarmouth to loddon will be reedham swing bridge, there are no bridges on the river chet. there are loads of moorings on the approach and also in loddon, and turning is not a problem. a very pleasant stopover with several pubs and places to eat, lots of dog walking available and well worth a visit

any update fred, what a great holiday review

amazing, it will take a month to digest that

you are correct about the windboat connection fred as i hired from wayford in 1969 on a boat called "CONCORDE" which was a ferrocrete wind boat. following on from what jill said regarding mike harveys death in a glider, the owner of the yard over the river, john linford, also died in a light aircraft accident, now that yard was a blakes, known as neatishead boatyard

well, well it could be harvey eastwoods at brundal, but i am leaning toward thorpe for some reason, probably wrong on both counts

it must be somewhere on the dilham canal ???

well, i will travel a little upstream to a wild mooring at dilham, probably opposite the private dyke which is now moorings

i am going for wayford fred just above the bridge

no M, i aint looking to buy one

i go along with the theory that your first time boat always seems to stick in your memory, my first hire was from windboats which, at the time, very early 70s were operating from wayford bridge. our boat was called CONCORDE, a ferrocrete 25footer, 4 adults and we tried to do the whole system in 1 week, it would not happen today, after several other small boats we them hired a 30ft centre cockpit from norfolk broads hire co, (i think) , george smith is there at present, in wroxham but i cannot think of the boats name, and the, which is almost my favourite boat, we hired RUBY EMBLEM from ernest collins, a 35ft bourne, what a lovely boat that was or possibly still is. but on the practical side of things and taken everything into consideration, easy mooring, size wise, compact and a great all round boat i must go for a bathtub type craft, i have owned a safari, i have had a broom skipper, and a 37ft bounty, for looks the skipper has got to be my favourite but i am going to go for the good old HAMPTON SAFARI
