And then there were five. All being well we will be there. Originally we were leaving that Saturday but now we are leaving on 20th. Just waiting for a reply from Beccles confirming our mooring. Sue

I agree. Last time we were there (April) there was a reserved mooring sign up for a boat due to arrive about mid-day. Come about 19:00 they still hadn't arrived with people milling around looking for spaces. Not the pubs fault, just very rude of the people on the boat concerned. The least they could have done was phone through to cancel. S

Last time we were there I thought the cafe had a no mooring sign up. It was so busy though, perhaps I got confused! S

We had something like this a few years ago when we owned a 21 foot cruiser on the Kennet and Avon canal. Worked fairly well not overly hot. In a previous caravan we had a 12v kettle for warm water, but as previously mentioned it did take rather a long time to work! SueH

Neither do we. A quick trip to Norwich and Whitlingham is fine unless we are on for a fortnight. S Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

We always use propane (the light weight ones) in the caravan as use the can all year. Propane works in cold conditions. We haven't had it freeze on us yet in over 35 years of caravanning.

Triumph Heralds appear to have been a popular driving instructors car. I learned in one of them and passed my test on the 2nd attempt on American Independence Day 1975. Can't remember how much it cost tho. Funny how small and old fashioned the Herald seems now! S

Yes I have logged on a few times. There is just a time lag between making your selection and anything happening, which is a bit disconcerting! S

Here, here!

Yep that was me. S

Me being a bit dense, but what has all this got to do with Irstead Staithe? We do tend to go off into some most odd tangents!!!

Full size gliders as well. We also talk about Moonlight's annual maintenance as C of A! S

Pilot boat Kittiwake going up and back on the water at V.N.E (quite fast!) Looked great fun for the passengers. Unfortunately my camera fone not up to capturing the moment too well. This gives some idea though. Sue

Hi Fred. PM on the way Sue

Look what just passed us on Breydon. Absolutely magic. Sue

Same with me. Thought was a problem with my connection. SueH

Good job I haven't been binning our used ones from this trip! SueH

Good spectator sport at moment lots of milling about. Quite a few going put on trial runs. Coming in and out of yard, bottle neck and general mayhem!

OK. S

We are on board at the moment. Going back 5th May. Perhaps you would like to meet and compare/contrast. Same hull, slightly different specification. Sue

Hi. Which boat are you going to view? SueH

Yep looks better from Thursday onwards. Nice at the moment heading towards Acle. Interesting hail storm about 0800 though. Sue

Hi I unplugged at Stokesby yesterday to sort out our cable and didn't lose anything. Regarding tripping out the posts Just a little commonsense. Years ago on many caravan sites we only had a 5a supply. Soon got used to only having one leccy item on at a time and buying lower wattage kettles/toasters. We bring our own 1kW kettle with us. It will also run off our 2kW inverter. Sue

Funny the same thing happened to us at Stokesby today! Card disappeared down into the depths. Still at least it gave us it's £1 before it vanished. Sue
