Moorings

[Lowestoftboater]

Hi

I wanna moor in Norwich as close as I can to the retail park. Is there any moorings closer than the yacht station that I could use. I will be using Morrisons supermarket.

If not you could moor in the Commissioners' Cut in Thorpe and take a short bus ride to Sainsburys.

I think you can only use the commissioners cut then any moorings  between  there and the YS are unofficial. People do moor there,but don't think you are meant to.

Its perfectly OK just in front of the first white bridge its the only area were there are no sign's saying no mooring , it did have a 2 hr time limit on it a few yrs back but the council withdrew that , whitlingham BA Mooring's is between commissioners cut and NYS but its a 30 minute walk to Morrison's , that said there are BA no mooring signs through the city from the railway bridge to NYS but iv never heard of anyone having been told by BA not to other than a ranger from the YS  telling someone on a hire craft that they could moor at the place where I directed the OP to which is totally inaccurate , there are 2 short stay moorings also on the opposite bank  by the flats but they are pointless as you can't go anywhere as its gated off but the signage is there to say it can be used for a limited period .

Unless your boat will go under the bridges, where you can moor on Thorpe Green and catch a bus into Norwich. Get off at Thorpe Station and Morrisons is not far.

I have moored there with my previous boat Sweetkingfisher is to high to get under the bridge.I know there are plans to add additional mooring on the run through  to Norwich. That would  make sense. All said and done mooring in the city at times is not easy.

That location I pointed out was actually going to be NYS to begin with but it got moved further up .

We use the moorings Ricardo suggests, on the right just before the Novi Sad footbridge. As stated there used to be signage stating you could moor there for 2 hours, but the council decided in this litigious age that it wasn't worth the risk of getting sued for damage or injury, so rescinded it. But it doesn't say you can't moor there (at present), so we do! If the council want to move you on, they'll have to get a court order. I think you'll have done your shopping by then.

The other great place to go maybe  not moor,if you are a private but sadly not a hire boat is beyond Bishops bridge.Done it once well worth doing if poss.Think the tourist boat does go under the bridge.

It does well did a two or three years ago Ian, we met it the bend by the ruins, not sure what they are called.

We went through the bridges this August. Almost free moorings a mere £27.00 for a round of drinks. There were  14  including the four canine  crew involved who ate at the pub, Macie and Lulu being the matriarchs the puppies the other two. Great pub well worth a visit if only for the mooring, the pub incidentally is fascinating one has to climb up through the building from river level to street level a most interesting climb.  The pub is The Ribs of Beef or maybe now just the Ribs on Magdellan Street.

Cow tower is the name your looking for 

[Chelsea14Ian]

I think some of the plans include parts running  from Bishops bridge .Perhaps next time we are in Norwich  we may call into the pub.On foot we are to high to get under the bridge. 

[Springsong]

Ian I doubt you are higher than the outboard boat of the three pictured.Here is a photo of  Lady Christina going through one of the bridges Adam stands six foot odd and he has clearance above his head.

Sweetkingfisher is 8.6 so we can't  get under.I have looked no go unfortunately
