deebee29 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Don't think you'll have any problems Bob, we always go in September and have never had any problems. I think Wonderwall has just been there up if you check out his latest post 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 So long as your boat can fit through the Wroxham Bridge, Bob, get up there....slowly, and enjoy the trip. Always a good chance of seeing a Kingfisher en route. Iain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob48 Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 thanks for the info , we went up to The Rising Sun in May , it was fantastic , we had Crown em 4 from Richardsons, cracking boat aand very well behaved , when we come home in October we'll be on Tobago 3 which is almost twice the length ( 44ft ) and 12 ft wide , i'm sure she'll go under the bridge , well at least i hope so . Happy days all 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderwall Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I didn't notice any problems a few weeks ago when we cruised up there. It certainly is one of the most picturesque hours cruising to be had . Because the water is so clear , you can see all the " under water rhubarb " ( maybe they are water lilies!) but nothing that will cause you a problem with a little bit of common sense. My limited knowledge tells me you should get under the bridge all things being normal, on Tobago light. Good luck and enjoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrador Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 The only place you need to worry about encroaching foliage, is on the roads! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfuzz Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 The roads are terrible this year what with the pot holes, grass in the middle and many of the smaller roads are so narrow due to lack of verge clearance....... NFN. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEJB Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Don't forget, you don't need to stop at Coltishall, carry on to the lock, good grass bank mooring and only a short walk into Coltishall. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but do please check your weed filters when there, just to be on the safe side. Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
