MauriceMynah Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Just my view but for what it's worth, I think Salhouse broad is a fine place to moor. A lot of money has been spent on facilities, namely water. which must have cost a fortune to put in. There has been much work done on the landscaping and walkways, making it one of the most attractive broads in the northern region. The deeper moorings are on the western end of the broad, plenty deep enough for most craft. As I said, just my view but that's how I see it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deebee29 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I fully agree MM, Salhouse Broad is one of our favourite moorings, a great place to just sit and watch the world go by or if feeling energetic take a wander up to the village or pub (or both ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst it is easy for us outsiders to moan or applaud the application we should respect the right of the locals to influence development of their environment. My feelings exactly. Not many locals within the BA's upper echelons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deebee29 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Took us about 10 minutes to walk back to the boat a couple of weeks ago, probably a bit longer going as it's uphill. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranworthbreeze Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Hi Peter, It only seems to apply when walking and signposts for the villages usually say 1.5 or 1.75 miles from the moorings, a relative short distance to catch out the casual visitor Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracie Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Dave, I always find it a lot easier on the way back after a visit to the pub you don't really care how far it is downhill or otherwise lol, Grace 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Hi Grace, Last year we moored at Rockland St Mary Staithe and bye passed the New Inn and walked up the hill to the village, we needed milk and a few bits & pieces so kept walking or should I say limping bye the time we eventually reached the Post Office. We purchased the items and coffees and a slice; and made full use of the seating outside of the Post Office, resting done we headed back down to the boat, calling in the pub to reserve a table for that evening. I have to say the journey downhill to the pub was the easiest. Sample drunk we went back to the boat. Regards Alan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Hi Alan We love the Broadland walks, if there's a pub on the way, even better, I know we all love summer on the Broads but I don't think you can beat October time for a walk and a meal in a pub with an open fire, the only reason we leave before closing is the fact we love boats more, that's if we even remember we're on a boat lol Sorry, this topic is about Salhouse, having a bit of a daydream Grace 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 EDP poster @ Tesco Petrol Stalham "Salhouse Broad Cafe Turned Down" Sorry should have taken a photo. Maybe the BA have the rats because of Woodbastwick staithe and the island mooring at Horning. A bit like the Turne Mouth business. Maybe more moorings will be won or lost by planning applications, who knows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEJB Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Nothing to do with moorings, as Salhouse is a different Cator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
