Hello Mark, Welcome to the forum from Tan & myself, Iain has supplied you with the link to the Herbert Woods site with pictures of Beam Of Light. Is this your first time on the Broads? if it is I suggest you look at the videos on Richardsons website we have links on the forum to view these, if you look under forums/visiting the broads there is a couple listed but you can view more once on their site. http://www.richardsonsboatingholidays.co.uk/first-timers/#tabs=1 If you have been before they serve as a good refresher. Regards Alan

Hi Iain, That site is somewhat invasive. Regards Alan -
Hello Helene, Welcome to the forum from Tan & myself. We love projects on the forum and the one you and Doug have taken on is of great interest to us, we look forward to more pictures and hopefully no more tales of woe during your rebuild of this classic boat. Regards Alan

Hello Bignig, Welcome to the forum from Tan & myself, so I can't help on the fishing other than suggesting that you should hire a day boat and try fishing above the bridges. Regards Alan

BT is increasing their phone charges by four times the inflation rate in December 2014 not good news for us that still have BT landlines or use BT lines for Broadband. Is this another BT rip-off? http://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/aug/23/bt-price-increase-6pc-home-phone-broadband-football Regards Alan

Oh nooo, hubby had an accident crossing Breydon!
ranworthbreeze replied to Chocofluff's topic in Broads Chat
We have never been into the pub even though we have heard very good reports regarding the food. The poor moorings have always put us off, I know one of our owners booked a mooring and was asked part way through his meal if he could move the boat to another mooring location. By the time the timber intended for the repairs to quay is used it will either be seasoned or rotted. The repairs to the quay will help, but for now why not put in some temporary mooring posts?

Please see this heart wrenching story of little Sarah Waller who now looks forward to starting school. The courage of this little girl and her parents should be an inspiration to us all. http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/health/a_one_in_18_million_miracle_four_year_old_sarah_waller_looking_forward_to_starting_school_after_beating_rare_cancer_1_3738029 Regards Alan

Hi Ian, If you need me to edit your post I can do, it seems you have missed the N off of the end of your message, should it read "I Love the NBN"? Regards Alan

To be Honest, I would rather have a Bakewell Tart rather than a Bakewell Puddings. Incidentally there is more than one Bakewell Pudding shop and each says it is the original or the original recipe. A great little town and I can be there in just over 35 minutes on a good day, saying that never go there on a bank holiday the queues can be horrendous. Regards Alan

Hi Tim, No another owner was on board he moored at Horning for the night and John (Hockam Admiral) said Ranworth Breeze had arrived at OBYS a short while ago. Yes the bridges can be an issue, we can not get under Ludham, Wroxham, and Potter Heigham but with the correct tides we can get through most of the normal bridges. Regards Alan

Hi Mandy, If you click on forums/visiting the broads/useful links, slipways, information/B.A. Electric Posts it will take you to the Broads Authority website at the Charging/Electric post location and possible suppliers of the £1 electric cards, you can also contact the B.A. prior to your visit and they will send purchased cards through the post. Here is a link to the Useful Links section of the forum:- http://www.thenorfolkbroads.net/forum/forum/11-useful-links-slipways-information/ Regards Alan

Oh nooo, hubby had an accident crossing Breydon!
ranworthbreeze replied to Chocofluff's topic in Broads Chat
There is a number of hire companies in Brundall such as Silverline etc but I would try for the 24 hour mooring just through Brundall, if there is space (I know a big if) the path from those mooring takes you up to the Brundall Church, and then a short walk to Budgens super market or the Chemists. Alternatively if June calls in the Brooms fuel station and asks if they can find her a temporary mooring, under the circumstances I am sure that they can accommodate her. Regards Alan -

Hi June, Your only hope is the Post Office in Reedham, you may be better off going to Brundall. Sorry to hear of his accident. Regards Alan -
Pensioners attempted bank robbery in Holt
ranworthbreeze replied to ranworthbreeze's topic in The Broadscot Lounge
Hi Roy, Late yesterday there was a picture of the man the police were looking for, I wish I had updated the post then, I guess because the man has been charged the papers had to pull the picture. The witnesses I would say were correct in their estimates, the man did look older than me. Regards Alan -
Crossing to the southern broads and tides?
ranworthbreeze replied to Chocofluff's topic in Broads Chat
Hello June, We have a number of links to various tide tables including Shorebase. We use the Broads Authority tide tables because it gives the low water height which is important to get our boat through Yarmouth. If you click on forums and then look at Visiting the Broads? and click on Tide Tables, alternatively use this link to see all the tide tables on the forum:- http://www.thenorfolkbroads.net/forum/forum/236-tide-tables/ Regards Alan -
