Given the width of the Yare it is probably safer than a narrower waterway that is shared. The biggest draw back is boaters of all types seeing 6mph as a minimum target speed rather than a maximum and the subsequent wake they produce. It certainly isn't a place for a novice SUP but I do see plenty of experienced ones most days. I often see a couple of SUP doing litter collections in the margins.

In the summer holidays 3 of my 4 grandchildren afed 12 to 16 will be doing SUP in Norfolk. They have all completed 8 hours training and supervised use with a professional instructor. They may use the Yare and Surlingham Broad depending on the levels of river traffic or opt for a quieter area in the northern broads. Wherever they are, the will be visible and avoiding the main channels. All of them have been driving and mooring boats for a few years, they are aware of the failings of some helms. These youngsters are future boat owners and hirers and should be encouraged to use the waterways, they are there for all to enjoy and use safely.

You could get an F in CSEs by spelling your name correctly in my day In my 2000 plus pupils Secondary Modern we had an assortment of strict older teachers and NQT hippies. In the 70s education was a bit hit and miss. In my grandsons Grammer school, four of his subject teachers are Dr. Even at year seven. They have a couple of Professors in the upper years.

They mass planted through existing grass verges, no obvious prep work.

No mow May has been stretched until the end of June because of the benefits to bugs and eco stuff. My council now save £30k + a year, by planting huge flower beds on parts of wide verges, daffs, tulips and hyacinths amonst wild flowers. The ongoing savings are from the reduction in mowing these areas for parts if the year. They are stunning, particually in the earlier parts of the year. Councils do get it right simetimes, just not often enough.

The two worst prisons were Maidstone and Canterbury, both Victorian relics. I was told I couldn't take in anything sharp or a potential weapon. That was a bit tricky as I needed lots of instruments and tools. I had two wardens, one for me and one for my weopons collection, all logged in and out again.

Maybe speed humps might work

I have never been called, always wanted to go. I have been called three times as an expert witness, all fraud cases involving property. The first one was a lesser amount and was scheduled for one week. I stayed after giving evidence to watch the proceedings for the rest of the week. It was fascinating. During the last one I was asked by the prosecution QC. to give advice to the defence team to clarify various technical points as thier expert witness was taken ill. The meeting was held in the Judges chambers with both teams. That was a sureal day.

I have lost chickens here and ducks at a previous house. I am on the edge of a rural area so get foxes, sparrow hawks and herons, they all want to eat things from my garden. My daughter in law and two grandchildren live just around the road from us, they discovered a den with five cubs under their shed earlier in the year. Grandson re-purposed the video door bell to watch them come and go, I suspect this one is one of them. I will get number two son to come down and let his dog run around and leave his mark.

I seem to have been adopted by a Fox cub. It has been getting nearer the house each day and this evening whilst sitting in the lounge I looked around as he walked through the door, he turned tail and ran.

Thank you, Excessive wake is the bane of my life being on a river front mooring. At least I won't have to shout at you and wave my arms as you pass Brundall.

I closed the app, shut the browser and restarted the phone, then I had a small drink and a lay down. Not sure what fixed it, the drink and sleep or the engineer reset. I don't do tech.

I logged out, closed it down and rejoined, all ok now.

He too,

The good reports were both in the last few months.

Our sponsors Boat-shift have a good reputation.

Tilly hat ordered following advice from members, the baseball cap will only be used in shady areas now. My neurologist suggested a winter hat to keep the cold and wind of my head and a summer one to stop my head getting too hot, I hadn't actually done anything about a summer hat until I read this thread, thank you all.

Driving on the road is inherently dangerous, but billions do.

A copy and paste of the owners reply is fine, the other side of the story is good for balance.

It is thread drift, happens a lot when no new information is available.

To the forum and boat ownership.

I think it is wise to wait a couple of days for proper confirmation of the future of the two moorings before we all speculate too much.

Dear all, A reminder if you are not aware that there will be high river traffic due to Three Rivers Race this weekend. Over 100 sailing boats will be racing on the Rivers Bure, Ant and Thurne from tomorrow morning. These rivers will be extremely busy, with certain pinch points possible at Horning (the start), Ludham Bridge, Potter Heigham Bridge and other narrow-width areas. Other vessels please be mindful of the high number of crafts on the river and be aware of sailing vessels tacking (zig-zagging) across the rivers. Keep slow and to the right-hand bank when amongst the yachts.

It has been in use, Saturday was the maiden trip of my brand new replacement outboard. I nice gentle run from Brundall to Bramerton and return was interrupted by the engine beeping a lot and faltering. I pulled over, checked the prop and oil, all good. I left it for 10 minutes to cool then slowly returned to the yard with the cover off. The yard had a similar problem with one of their day boats with the same engine on saturday. The senior engineer said it is weed blocking the water flow, me being sceptical said, we will see. Today this came past, maybe the engineer was right
