Philip Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Hello as I have to have my work leave in March we have booked a boat from a boatyard up north but we would like to go south but who or what is open with water taps.

Guest Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Water points are available (off the top of my head) at Oulton Broad Beccles Loddon And at the boatyards mainly based around Brundall, Loddon and at Freedom near Norwich (I think they are open) Reedham and Norwich usually have water but they are turned off over winter.

NorfolkNog Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 The water is on at Reedham all year round but they remove the hoses in winter. We carry a short length of pipe but have used a bucket in the past! Brooms should have water. I'm pretty sure WRC turn theirs off in winter. I think Oulton Broad is on the pontoon only.

Have they actually started charging properly yet? Last year the sign asked for the £2 to be put in the box if there was no one in the hut. Trouble is, they never provided a box! If you stopped for fuel or a pumpout, you got charged but not otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Oulton Broad is on the pontoon only. The only hose operational at Brooms at the moment is bythe boat hoist, which is extremely difficult to get to as you have to navigate amongst privately moored gin palaces to gain access. The hose at the fuel kiosk has thoughtfully been turned off, however we were able to top up with water this morning at The Ferry House, Surlingham, which is free to customers. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
