Is this open now for the time being or was the day it was opened  a 'one off' please?   Can you point out where it is please?

Think its closed until towards the end of May Mrs H.

Where is Black Horse Broad? Just as you leave Horning heading towards Wroxham, on the right hand side after the houses

Hi Monica, Black Horse Broad/ Hoveton Little Broad is on the starboard side of the river after you pass though Hornng towards  Salhouse, you will see the narrow gated opening after you have passed the last cottages/holiday lets, it is opposite the Bure Marshes.

When I joined our syndicate in 2001 our training what there was of it comprised of practising figure eights on Hoveton Little Broad, we were then allowed to set off on our own, I was the second owner on the second week after the boat was brought into service, thankfully I had over 25 years of experience of going on the canals. This however was a learning curve because of the wind and tides.

The reason I ask is on Youtube is a flotilla of boats going to the Broad at its official opening.     To my mind that meant it was open to the public from then on.   Then I always was an optimist.    Be good to have somewhere fresh to discover.

Hi, 

Malanka was in that flotilla of boats and it was to commemorate the original trespass not to open the broad as it had already been open since Easter Sunday for one week.  Immediately after our flotilla had entered processed and left it was then closed again until later in the summer. 

There is an article with pics and vid on the edp website. I will be including a write up with pictures in my holiday tale.

Black Horse broad (Hoveton little broad) is lovely place to mud weight over night in the summer, just wish it was open all year round. Very quiet and sheltered.
