I would sooner 10 false alarms than miss the true one. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 well there i was out for a bike ride, suddenly I spotted a sign that said wye, now i know that means i am just a hop and a skip away from ashford, so i checked my mileage, already over 11 miles, further than I planned today, so I turned around and headed home- 22.9 miles total 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 after a few days of rain so no biking i took the opportunity this morning to head out at 9.30am, up through the university along the crab and winkle way to clowes woods, a quick circuit of the main paths in the woods and home again 12.4 miles, just under 2 hours, lots of other cyclists out, and walkers, and dog walkers, suns out now and its turning into a nice day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExSurveyor Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Having had £4500 of repairs to the Shetland outboards lower leg last year, funded by an insurance claim and lost 7 months use, On my last visit the outboard sounded noisy. The yard have looked at it and say the bearings are shot and it needs a full strip down and rebuild. The quote is £4700. The engine is a 60hp, far too big for the Broads. The cost of a new 20hp Suzuki is the same price as the repair. Guess what, The new 20hp is being fitted next week. I officially hate outboard motors. My next boat will have a diesel engine. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Wow, that’s unlucky, and expensive! I now feel very lucky, mines 52 years old this year and still going strong. Its only drawback is being a six cylinder 2 stroke it has a major drinking problem! outboards can be useful and fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Marina wanted to get petrol for the car this evening. So she said do you want to go out somewhere. We went to Brundall. Not been there since we moved to Martham. We called into the White Heron. They've done a good job on the pub.We just had a drink as we had eaten earlier. Will have lunch or dinner next time.Just think it could have a little more character .I see the kìngs Head at Acle is reopening next mouth,as a steak restaurant. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQ Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 First day sailing since 9th April , when the gooseneck got broken, ordered then it was supposed to be in-stock it then didn't turn up till a couple of weeks ago. Then, last week I half fell in and dropped the tool kit in the river. It took a couple of hours of fishing with magnet, net and dydle to retrieve everything. All except the drill battery, survived OK. So today fitted the gooseneck which took some persuasion. But I got there in the end. Missed the first race, and although we went out in the second the boat really wasn't prepared. It wasn't until the 4th race that the boat was going well. Next Sunday, no sailing for me as it's Broadland Model Railway Clubs show at Hoveton village hall, 10am to 3pm. Then the following weekend is The 3 Rivers Race..

Smoggy Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Surely if you needed a gooseneck for a sailing race you were cheating or is it another thing not for an engines exhaust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQ Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 The gooseneck on a sailing boat is the hinge between mast and boom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Last night of a few days out, moored at Hardly Cross. The Merlin (bird call) App just identified the call of a Commin Crane, is that possible or has it misidentified? I know nothing about birds, hence the App. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YnysMon Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 We saw a couple of cranes last year on the Horsefen Marshes (near Womack) too, so cranes are definitely on the Broads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizG Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 Daughter 3 has a 3 year work visa and leaves for New Zealand Monday week. Today was the last chance 4 of 5 of us could meet! I don't normally do selfies so despite this being my phone I didn't take it! Next Monday is going to be seriously hard! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
