  1. It better do...... :-) Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  2. We got a bit of time afloat today.... I did mention that to the Mrs that i was looking forward to a week on Thunder next month but apparently that sort of talk is banned until we get home....... Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  3. I think generally in life people just don’t like taking responsibility for themselves. It’s far easier to ring and ask for help - think calls to the ambulance service, calls to the police (9 year old screaming as he won’t go to bed....) etc etc If there was a Breydon pilot service I suspect it would be often used!

  4. I think I would add an immersion or diesel water heater for hot water without having to start the engine. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  5. Thanks- saves me digging it out the loft to check! Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  6. We don’t touch the bank. The dog swims the last 3 yards.......... Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  7. We generally mud-weight these days and take the dog over in the dinghy when needed. I would have thought these type of mooring charges do not help the local public houses. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  8. One of Crystal Lights provided my first ever Broads experience in 1990! We even got under Potter :-) Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  9. I did not take it up but you can get very cheap car parking at Gatwick if you are prepared to let them hire your car out whilst you are away....... Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

    As a family of 4 who visit the Broads twice a year spending £100 over the two visits on mooring fees is not becoming uncommon. Of course it is our choice to visit the places that charge upwards of £10 a night to moor but to offset that cost we eat onboard on occasions when we would otherwise have eaten out. Swings and roundabouts. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

    Womack also has an honesty box in/near the big rock not far from the water hose. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

  15. Worth pointing out that I don’t think a combi is any good if you have more than one shower or a pressurised system. That’s about the limit of my knowledge although I can change a 3 way motorised valve. 3 times in 7 years, each time just outside the 2 year warranty! Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  16. And how much do they charge for showing somebody around? Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  17. 6th April is the start of Easter Holidays for us so that looks like a busy Saturday! Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  18. Well..... we liked the Tucson so much When the 15 year old Corsa needed replacing we bought an i20 Active, 18 months old and with the 3 cyl turbo and you soon get used to the different vibrations and noise when stationery. Only had it a few weeks and all 300 miles have been town driving and when I filled up it was near enough 35mpg. M Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  19. The accountant in me made me go for an Hyundai! No regrets so far. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  20. Oh dear. Nothing like setting the bar high is there?! Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  21. I did have a look once but I found the duct tape universal! I forgot to take it off when we left once....... Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  22. I know what they look like- I tape over the Perspex bit in the kids bedroom so they don’t get up at first light :-) Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  23. But in the bedrooms darker ones might be better....? Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  24. That’s a real shame. We went a few times and it was a great day out. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  25. You should try her in the school holiday weeks- the gaps at side on moorings are often too small! We always take the dinghy to increase our options. We have peaked with 4 adults, 4 children and 2 dogs. I would describe it as cosy :-) No doubt solo cruising could cause some problems, particularly as the upper helm only exits to one side.
