North & South, Where Is The Line?

[OldBerkshireBoy]

Might be a stupid newbie question however having read about the north and the south of the broads roughly where does one start and the other end?

TIA.

Hi pumpmedic and welcome to the forum.

Not a stupid question at all. The northern and southern broads meet at Breydon water. Which is the inland sea just to the north east of Great Yarmouth.

I think we refer to all the  rivers which eventually drain down to Yarmouth (The Bure, Ant, Thurne) as the Northern Broads and the rivers Yare, Waveney, Chet which (on a map at least) look to drain "up" to Yarmouth as the Southern Broads.

Great Yarmouth end of Breydon. As you go round the yellow buoy.

Welcome to the forum, my question how much do you know about the broads?as for boats I would suggest you check NYA and NBS.you can check on line there are also other sites that offer boats for sale.

Yes I always think of the yellow post as the symbolic dividing line.

GY is often known as the DMZ

I'm with Baitrunner and Broads01 - the yeller post marks the end (or beginning) of civilization.

It's a chuffin small sea

It's not even that big and certainly not a 'Sea'  But it is classed as inland though

Not a lot tbh, willing to met anybody for a coffee/ beer for a lesson 

Pretty sure I`ve exhausted the list of where to look hence the tailspin but thanks for those

This time of the year,there a few boats around.In high season,the northern broads tend to be busy,the southern broads not so much.As for boats like many things it's often feels right once you get the  right one.Why not get a day boat,some are available this time of year,but not many.I have been visiting the broads since the sixties,hiring for many years and owning boats since 2009.
