  1. We restored a Norman 20 many years ago and found her a gtreat little boat for us at that time.Did all the jobs you seem to have to do,with the addition of extending the hatch to provide space over the cooker which was worth while as we had seen this on later models.had many good times with her on the Great Ouse before moving on to a Freeman.Keep posting your progress as I will be interested.Best of luck. .Roy
  2. Been here in North Norfolk fourteen years and love it. . Enjoy your new home
  3. Nice to see some news regarding this lovely walk being reinstated .Look forward to doing the path from the Ferry again l http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/villagers-step-out-in-force-as-reedham-footpath-campaign-nears-successful-conclusion-1-5066589
  4. It's the Robin Hood in Sherringham Howard,enjoy your " sampling " on your trip !
  5. Good on you Robin,my lessons were in a split screen Morris Minor, 12 shillings and 6 pennies ( 62 and half new pence ) in 1958 ,but was a chunk out of £2 07 pence apprentice wage in that time ! On the test I skidded on wet leaves and managed to avoid hitting anything so was pleased to hear I had passed.! The motor cycle test in 1958 consisted of being sent off round the block and being " Observed. " ,the examiner would jump out somewhere on the route and you would do an emegancy stop ! once passed you could drive any bike even a three wheeler car with no reverse ,never did understand that one ? Good luck !
  6. Welcome from us two as well,enjoy !
  7. I remember many moons ago they had some good Country and Western nights ,on regular basis at B H , I seem to recall..Live music seems to draw in the customers and many eat and stay after the meal to hear the band ,just look at the amount of venues now offering music,added to good beer and every one should be happy.
  8. Read elsewhere with some news (thanks for ) that the Broads Haven is in new hands to open with a new name.Hope this comes to fruition and it would be nice to have a riverside pub here again.I am sure will will get more information from those that know.
  9. Alan (Boycee ) summed up the send off for Hank completely and it was a pleasure to join Sue and her family together with many of those who had been involved in the good times when boating bought us together with Sue and Hank in the past..
  10. Welcome from the two of us ,enjoy.
  11. Wroxham and Coltishall. Taped up and out of use.Wonder why they picked this time of year as the time of year useful for battery charging at the least.
  12. One of the best all round pubs on the river for facilities .Do they still offer free moorings to NBN members ?
  13. Local to us and great selection and good service..Fish and chips ,jacket potatoes and sandwiches tried so far and all good plus of course the cake selection!
  14. I heard on the radio that the Acle Straight was closed due to that load while she passed through !
  15. JR,they must have hauled them out as they were there Saturday afternoon and work still in progress,I have heard of delays up to thirty minutes during weekdays so plan extra time till their finnished.
  16. Having a boat with a well front and aft I would be worried about people ( many boats now can accommodate six plus ) who maybe having had a drink or two negotiating the gaps with ropes and deck gear in the pitch dark ! I wonder what the insurance position would be if someone fell in the well and badly injured themselves ?
  17. In the EDP it says that a sink hole has appeared in the same area ,hope it clears soon as it is a busy route into Norwich. http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/a_sinkhole_chimney_fire_and_car_crash_firefighters_have_busy_end_to_week_in_north_norfolk_1_4896082
  18. Started a hundred yards on the Norwich side of the railway bridge this afternoon ,despite traffic warnings on Radio Norfolk most of the day,addled a good 25/30 minutes to the journey.
  19. Just seen on Sues Facebook ,that she is home now .She says she will arrange a memorial service here in Norfolk sometime after the funeral in Coventry.Sad times for them all.
  20. A real shock to hear this news ,Hank will be sadly missed by those who knew him .Diane and I send our sincere condolences to Sue and their family
  21. Visited Monday,food and service good,would definitely recommend if your in Potter.
  22. Welcome to all new members It is .great to see how the forum has evolved in that ten years and the pleasure that we have all had from the NBN .
  23. Sorry to hear this news ,our thoughts are with you all at this time.Diane and Roy
  24. Seasons greetings to all. Enjoy,from Diane and Roy.
