  1. Be worth a walk down there , looks a lovely spot.
  2. According to Google Maps it is as the above map indicates. Robin took his inflatable down there some time ago.
  3. There is always money for 'wars' and Royals.
  4. I thought Surlingham was a Broad!! Just found it. It is where Robin took his inflatable that time. Off of Surlingham Broad.
  5. Back as normal now on my screen. May be not just tried to change the screen and got the b....dy wall again.

  7. Hmmm!!! what has someone been and done (wonderful English) to the web cam at Oulton Broad. All you are getting is various shots of brickwork.
  8. What bait were you using Peter?
  9. I thought this was a holiday home, if so the owners will not be homeless. The description given makes it sound like two pensioners have lost their home. Glad I wasn't renting it when it went 'bang'. Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

  11. Words fail me at times. The other day at a professional place I was asked for my date of birth. I said 25th August ...... upon which the girl looked at me and said , what number is August.
  12. That I am sorry to say is what happens in the spring every year, not 4 - 5 mallards granted but I have seen 3 at a time. Vicious little sods they are too. Think nothing of drowning the female, poor little souls. Those Egyptian Geese are another vicious lot. So pleased that people are helping. It is good to hear. Smoggy - orange sauce - you know its the naughty corner for you my lad.......
  13. That is so sad. I hope that the duck is helped very soon. Dont like to think of an animal suffering like that especially bad when she has young to tend to.
  14. Of the house on the Mississippi ?
  15. Can we have a link please?
  16. I just loved the idea of their thermal cooker. Would have been ideal on a boat , especially a yacht. https://mrdscookware.co.uk/
  17. I can think of many 'cows' that I would have loved to have shoved into the river over the years.
  18. Well done to these two establishments for being mentioned in the first 25 Best Fish and Chips in East Anglia.
  19. My 5 pennuth!! If you go South , it is a different ball game to up North with regard to bank mooring. My advice would be to stick to the 24hr moorings , yacht stations and hostelries. As a novice on the Southern Rivers I would advise as above. What may look like a dabbydozy of a mooring at high tide can be a different matter at low. I am talking about informal moorings.
  20. My 5 pennuth!! If you go South , it is a different ball game to up North with regard to bank mooring. My advice would be to stick to the 24hr moorings , yacht stations and hostelries. Up North you can bank moor where safe to do so (remember trees have roots that protrude into the water) and certainly not on someone's prize lawn. There are Augusts and Augusts, some are very busy and some are not. Weekends tend to be busier than in the week. There are some fabulous moorings down South, I am sure there is a list somewhere , and they are all safe together with a list of yards and the facilities they offer, ie pump outs , water etc. Mooring on Rhond anchors isnt a mystery and I am sure someone on here will give you some important pointers as to how to moor on Rhond anchors. The River Ant has some lovely informal moorings. How Hill has loads of moorings. St Bennett's Abbey has good moorings. As has been said sometimes it is purely the luck of the draw. You can pass a mooring and find it full up and if you had passed 5 minutes later there would have been space. Finally, I will shut up in a moment, bring with you a 'just in case meal' if you intend to eat at pubs. Otherwise bring food for a few days and take it slowly.
  21. At least she knew to flick a switch which would be more than could be said for me. Looking forward to the web cam coming back.
  22. We went to Langley Staithe for a walk in the fresh air this morning and I noticed when we passed Rosie's Tea Shop she had a board outside saying Lest We Forget.
  23. Have you found this WiFi connection yet Simondo. This was such a fantastic web cam picture, clear and in real time. I for one do miss looking at this lovely stretch of river.
  24. Thank you Chelsea14Ian for the post. The fact that we have today is because these men gave their lives for us. Let us enjoy this beautiful June morning and make the most of every day.
  25. I feel sorry for hirers who have spent their pennies for a once a year holiday to risk losing a day thanks to this lot. Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app
