Not if you took your pics from a public highway, e.g. the river. Look forward to seeing them!

[petersjoy]

[JennyMorgan]

Great photos John

They really do look interested in what's going on around them.

I look forward to seeing the program. One to record an Keep I think.

Not a lot of wind today. Will Tim be driving the tow boat or sweating on a quant? Albion is looking very smart in John's quality pictures, thanks John for posting them.

Good to see the old lady looking her best - makes all the days in the winter with the brush worthwhile!!!

This must be the best topic of the month, thank you Poppy for kicking it off. And he never even got a "like" on his first post, well you get a first one from me lol...

Thank you to all the contributors for all the pictures and descriptions of their itinery, a brilliant piece of posting.

I am so looking forward to watching this program, and recording it in triplicate too, one to DVD for the boat etc

Please keep the pics and descriptions rolling, you can never get tired of this. 

I bet the bookings for 2018 should take off.

I thought people might be fed up with me rattling on about the same subject! Some of us are accused of that, on here!  

I did think of posting something, as this is an iconic scene. A forty ton trading wherry, being quanted away from the staithe at Beccles, not all that far from where she, herself, used to trade, in Bungay, from 1898.

We are privileged to see this image of the history of the Norfolk Broads as a commercial navigation.

And yes, she looks stunning! A great credit to all of you who look after her so well.   

 

And booger yer National Park!!

Yes wonderful pics

[gareth22]

They have been at the museum of the broads this afternoon, taking a trip on a steam powered boat. They were filming across the river from simpsons yard when we returned back after being out for the day.

The Albion arrived at Oulton Broad today, it was soon apparent that the crew were completely Pru-less, and Tim-less too. 

[LizG]

WR went off this morning for drone filming....

 

 

 

[Hockham Admiral]

I was sure that I'd posted this vid of the Albion being quanted of the quay but I can't find it.....
