Can someone clarify what's upstream and downstream? To me, Cockshoot is downstream from Swan corner. Or am I getting up and down wrong in this context?

Please permit me to assist.

On an incoming tide Cockshoot dyke is upstream but down river whilst on an outgoing tide it will be both down river and down stream. However it needs to be remembered that at slack water it is neither up stream nor down stream but is about to be either (but never both).

When the tide is incoming but is very close to high tide it can be in a state where at Horning Swan it is downstream but at Cockshoot it is neither up nor down, Equally, it is important to consider that when the tide has fully ebbed, Cockshoot will still be downstream as the natural flow of the river will have taken over. There will of course be times when Cockshoot will be down stream of the Horning Swan whilst (and at the same time) the Horning Swan will be down stream of Cockshoot Dyke. On those occasions it is normally recommended that you sit in the New Inn and watch the chaos which will inevitably ensue.

If I can be of any further assistance please feel free to ask.

MM, Where will the Grand old Duke of York and his men be during this time?

I think you are correct but it could mean they will start 300m upstream of the swan and then do sections between  the swan and cockshoot

The only shallow I know of in that sort of distance is,  Going towards Wroxham up from the club.,  on the first right hand bend on the right hand side  

Down towards Turne Mouth on the right hand bend after pass the richardsons yard and going past the last chalet. is the first shallow that way, unless they cut some more trees back and you can approach the bank..

Neatly avoiding down stream, up stream, up tide, down tide and the Duke of Wellington. ( I didn't think we had a pub of that name in Horning...)

Thanks, MM, I stand confused.

Is that when you’re on the wrong side of the river?

While facing towards the bow.......

The dredging has started, the barges are in sight of the HSC cameras

https://horning-sailing.club/webcams.php,  I can actually  see the digger errr... digging.

Hope he doesn't splash mud on my boat... I didn't know there was a shallow there..

 

Though there is just on the inside of the Swan corner on the down river camera.

The dredger has just motored off down river from Horning sailing club, to where I know not..
