I'm sure that you all know our region's rivers better than our local rag does.

ten out of twelve for me but I guessed at many of the answers.

Yes 10/12 and some guesswork involved which I prefer to call 'logic' 

[ChrisB]

10/12 as well, got Vancover dock wrong, thought that was the basin by his statue. And the date went for 1910 not 1884.

[ChrisB]

The deliberate mistake is including the Blyth., not one strech is in Norfolk. Entirely in Suffolk.

[JennyMorgan]

The Blyth is within the EDP circulation region but if it is a mistake then it's one of two, the other being a question of identity.

[BuffaloBill]

The mistake was calling the the river at Acle The Yare. It was changed very quickly to Bure!(Question 1)

"This lifeboat - not in its natural surroundings - has just passed Acle bridge going downstream on the river Bure. Its crew now face a long row to the next town. Where will that be?"

OH! 11 out of 10 for me. Got the last one wrong.

[JennyMorgan]

Almost there, Bill, but the error is not in the questions.

[JennyMorgan]

Here's a strong clue, the first picture of the lifeboat at Acle and Acle being where, as if none of you know!?

[BroadScot]

Noticed now JM....From L to R......River YARE!!! That is a BIG Ooops 

[JennyMorgan]

Spot on, Iain,

A Scotsman telling all you Norfolk lads & lasses, what are you like?

Iain, how come that you are only a two star moderator? That begs two questions, do you deserve more or do we deserve better? Personally I'd suggest it's the first and five stars would be a more just reward!

[ChrisB]

Yes, OK, but ewes got to no hows to reed and rite to get it.

Very kind of you JM, but I am just more than happy to assist as and when I can. I think all of the Mods are two star, even our illustrious "Admiral" No big deal, but kind of you to mention, thank you.

 It is there in the photo but it was in the question too.

A double Whammy then!

Maybe the others could have an extra half a star each, mustn't neglect them!

[Broadsword]

10/12 - I got the Blyth and Nar questions wrong!

 

[JennyMorgan]

Danny, no shame in 10 out of 12, the EDP had two errors too!

[SPEEDTRIPLE]

I did rubbish.  But then, in all honesty, i`ve never heard of most of them. I only know of the navigable rivers of the Broads and Fens.
