We recently got bitten by the cruising bug after a wonderful cruise on the Caledonian Canal courtesy of Caley cruisers. We enjoyed ourselves so much, that we have booked a 2nd cruising trip to Scotland in early October.
Thinking of a change for next year, I have been considering a trip to the Norfolk Broads before going further afield to France possibly the year after. I found your excellent forum & must admit that I nearly got put off visiting England from the post about yobs hiring boats on the broads & causing problems. Reading between the lines in some other posts, it seems that this is not uncommon on the broads?
Spending some time looking at the boat hire companies, I think that I may have a preference for Horning Ferry Marina as their boats appear to be in good condition. Can anyone comment about this please?
Our aim is relaxation & quiet, taking in wildlife & pleasant walks. We don't mind & in fact prefer to go a little out of season, say April or October. Is it possible around that time of the year to have a quiet holiday with easy moorings?
The Horning website suggests some trips for people new to the Broads. The Route 1, Wildlife & Relaxation looks interesting. May I ask for advice or recommendations from other forum members about the suggested route? Rather than paste the information, which I think may have copyright issues, I'll just paste the link: http://www.ferry-marina.co.uk/Sample-routes . We'd prefer to moor for the night in quiet locations away from pubs etc. I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks
