Acle Station is only a short taxi ride from Acle Bridge.
Or a 1.5 mile walk if the weather is good.

Make sure when you swing/throw the mud weight out that you do not have the rope round you leg.

Flares might be back but there is no sign of my teenage waistline making a comeback.
And nor will it if you always sit in your chair looking out over the river!

One of the reasons I don't use the ranger at Reedham is because they tend to haul the front in straight against the concrete quay heading.
They did that to me last year, had the decency to apologise though.

We still hire every year. Lovely and relaxing. We too tend to moor up early and go exploring, preferring the southern broads.

Sunray had it as well. Hired both before they changed it. Worked very well.

We have hired Mayfair from them 3 times. Nice boat and excellent service. Call them when we got close by, and they bring the boat up to the staithe. You unload your belongings onto the boat. They have a reserved car parking spot very close by, park your car and they then take you down on the boat to their yard. Check paperwork etc and you are off. Reverse when handing back.
recomend them highly.

Yup, the whole flotilla gets to see you buggrr up your mooring attempt!
Not strictly true some of them are still out on the river waiting to enter the broad. Still quite an audience though!

In a car an experienced driver will act almost subconsciously in a potential accident situation. An inexperienced one has to think through every step, often panics and makes bad choices or actions. This is the same in all things even boating. A hand over trial does not make an expert who will make the correct choices and not panic. Key training should always include preventive measures, the main issue is that these are often ignored.

Surely this as I've said has been exhausted. It's just going round in circles. What's the point in carry on.
Because some individuals gain pleasure in running others down!

We always have a life jacket on Max during the day, although if we go for a walk or visit away from the water we do take it off, also we take it off when outside access not needed for the night. Will be more careful in future. The handle on the life jacket is excellent for getting him out. It is also great for dunking him in and cleaning his muddy legs. He is only 17kg though.

They will be operating at the luxury end with a demand and supply model. We who cannot afford it can go elsewhere. Who is the fool, we who say it is too much or them who can sell at the higher price?

There is usually some one in the shed. They have come out whenever we pulled along side, but we were in Mayfair which is one of theirs?

not sure this is a rule, more reasonable consideration

That’s what I use, works a treat.

Grey one is a day cruiser. We have hired Mayfair 3 times now. We call when nearly at PH then park on Staith, they will then bring the boat up and you load you stuff onboard. They will then take you over the other side of the road behind the building where you can park your car. They have a permit for you to put in the car. When returning pick them up at Maycraft and them the reverse at the Staith.
