addicted Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 We were hoping to make a trip over to the Northern Broads this week but the weather forecast has kyboshed that. With lots of showers shown to be expected we've postponed it We prefer to make the trip before the schools break up so that its not so busy and there is more daylight so that the times can be a bit more flexible but this year it aint going to happen this month. So we're left with time on our hands and a full wine cupboard. How bad is that? Carole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNog Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I wouldn't be put off by a couple of showers Carole! There was probably more rain fell on me and Mrs Nog going over Breydon on our recent trip than you would get in a month. The forecasts are often wrong anyway, they can only accurately forecast over a few days. It will be manic when the kids are off. Go for it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forecasters err on the safe side and have done since Mr Fish fffed up all them years ago, ( although to be fair to him he was only a spokesman for the met office). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Go for it Carole, I love the Broads in the rain, especially a storm, we've crossed Breydon in some pretty rough conditions in the past and I just love it. The kids are off, you could sit with a nice glass of wine watching all the comings and goings on the water. Like Alan (Mr Breeze) we gongoozle (people watch, or being nosy as im indoors calls it) my goodness you can see and hear some things that would make your hair curl lol Failing that, bring your wine cupboard to me and I will gladly relieve you of some Grace 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 We have to go through Gt. Yarmouth and across Breydon water with the boat open and the tide this week isn't giving us enough headroom to even keep the screens up, so it really is too much hassel unfortunately,hopefully we'll manage it next month We had to leave it till August last year and had a great few days managing to moor everywhere we wanted to. We' ll make a big effort to deal with the wine cupboard but thanks to those of you who so kindly offered to assist with that, you were very brave to risk getting mown down by the steamroller that would be Gracie! To those of you planning a boat trip shortly enjoy! Carole 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 For those of you who didn't make it to the Broads today we had ten minutes or so of rain first thing, the rest of the day has been sunny with a few clouds, shorts & t-shirt weather, very acceptable, more of the same please! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
