NorfolkNog Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 It's not often that the main rivers freeze like that. I'm glad we went when we did! Herbert Woods will still have hires booked I imagine as they were quite busy when we went back. I guess they will have to offer refunds or another holiday. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExMemberBobdog Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 I understand that Richardson’s are cancelling all hires for this weekend, and giving money back, and possibly a ‘sweetener’ for anybody who will lose out who rebooks for later in the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may just sit there on top of the ice. Boats are probably better off in the water in these temps as the water is usually a bit warmer than the air and less likely to get frost damage. We were mean't to be going to the boat this weekend but I think I'll give it a miss, 2 weeks ago when I left it I was hovering on the idea of not winterising as "we're over the worst now", very glad I did but still a bit worried about the calorifier and water tank, engines should be fine. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
