I love walking around the Broads area, riverbank or otherwise, there are some lovely footpaths and tracks. It’s not so easy now as it used to be but having dogs makes you get out and about and helps keep you fit. Not a big fan of walking I must admit. In fact I would go as far as to say that my feet are only there to stop my ankles from fraying! Carole 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a dyke off the Waveney just by Burgh St Peter which I believe belongs to the house "Dick's Mount" which IIRC once offered a casual let of one or two of it's moorings. I'm not sure if it still does, or if my memory is telling me fibs which if it is then I hope I have not offended any "Dicksmountians".

JennyMorgan Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 The Dick's Mount house and moorings have been for sale for several years. One time owned by the much loved and legendary Charles Collier (one time Broads Authority river inspector). Charlie was a true Broadsman of the highest calibre, he welcomed classic Broads sailing boats to moor in 'Colliers Dyke'. Whether 'stinkies' have been allowed to infiltrate those hallowed waters I really don't know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the Yarmouth girl who had twenty two children all with the same first name but all with different surnames so she could tell 'em apart!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveRolaves Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Often walk along the footpath by Hardley Dyke. Lots of moorings there - close together and a dead end dyke. Whats the max length of boat that could moor there - any idea of the cost of a mooring??? The dyke is quite narrow but at the end is a turning point where a 35 foot boat could turn. Most of the moorings have small craft on them - have seen a few Broom 30 foot craft moored there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
