Where Was This Taken?

Exact location please.

Looks like the stretch between Beccles and Geldeston although not sure if it's 5mph down there. If it is there I wouldn't like to hazzard the exact bit.

It's somewhere on the upper reaches of a Broads river which I would never recognise now as the uncontrolled growth of trees and carr makes it look entirely different to what it did 40 years ago.

I was about to say that but you beat me to it. Looking towards Brundall

[NorfolkNog]

Looking more closely it's too wide for Geldeston 

 

Brundall looks good

Actually Howard, you are right! To be exact, the photo is taken from a wild mooring on the right hand side of the river going towards Geldeston almost at the junction where one way goes to Rowan Craft and the other to The Locks. You can see a small area of riverbank with some trees overhanging and a very large bed of nettles over which you need to get your stern rope! It is a wonderful spot, very quiet and with a footpath to Geldeston and The Wherry Inn. Never a bling boat in sight. But please don’t tell anyone! 🤫

How about this one - where was this shot taken from?

There's something of South Walsham about that, perhaps near the public staithe area, but I'm usually wrong on these things.

Bit like doing a pub quiz, the first answer is often instinctively right and then if you start wondering it's often wrong! 

The water looked too still and too much vegetation for the Yare. 

Bit surprised with the speed though, always assumed it was less through there!

Second one, very South Walsham-ish Russel Marine maybe? 

[vanessan]

WherryNice has it, taken from the staithe.
