Moorings And Things.

Having walked from Broadsedge to The Swan at Ingham it is not that far. However from where the pavement ends to the Swan through the bends is not the safest of walking especially should it be dark.

Boulters are advertising a 42’ side on if you don’t want stern on.

I wouldn't disagree - It's a while since I did it, about a mile from memory. I didnt have any great problems with traffic as I recall although one needs to be careful of course. 

I've heard a lot of good reports about the Star at Lessingham but that would be a taxi job unless you're Fireman Sam of course

Is there not a footpath from Richardson's Stalham to Sutton across the fields. John

[ChrisB]

The Star is a gem. But as you say, it is a taxi ride. Whilst there The Butchers Arms is very close. Changing cask ale. Had a really nice roast pork lunch there a couple of years back.

Edit: Butchers is at East Ruston. The Vicarage gardens are really worth a visit.

Rumour has it that MM is a bit of a stern on man!

[MauriceMynah]

I'm happy to be side on or stern on, or even bow on (Oh happy days on Salhouse) but I did contact Boulters when they first advertised that mooring. They said they'd phone back. I still await their call.

To be honest, I think I prefer the idea of Stalham over Horning as a base to moor. Easier stocking up the food & booze and a bit more of a cruise to get to places.

....plus it's a bit tight at Boulters if memory serves. I'm sure you could get a 42 foot in of course but a tad tight squeeze I suspect. Plus very busy in summer! Only drawback with Stalham is that it can freeze in winter.

I think Boulter’s moorings are outside of the basin.

Well, I looked at my block of soap, and I couldn't see it!

[CambridgeCabby]

I’m looking at the moorings next week, no minimum charge so the whole 46ft is chargeable

Indeed it has, and I have. I wonder if Jayfire and/or Norfolk Nog have been in there too.

Can't speak for Fireman Sam but sadly not

I have, a good while back now however. I'm not 100% sure if it is supposed to be residents only but I got in and had a Stella or two. Can't remember any watered down gravy on sale for the Nogster however

Forgot to say, be careful taking a mooring at Richo's at Stalham Eminem, you never know what drunken weirdo's will be about

Have you moved your boat from Potter to Richo's now then?

It's not protocol to reveal members mooring locations but can we assume that the Swan and the Grebe will be seeing a surge in trade (when they are allowed to open of course)

Well I'm around that general area, and whenever I possibly can I shall be exchanging my hard earned for a few refreshments
