It dried up this afternoon, so I got my walk in after all. Went all the way to Ludham Bridge, for most of the way following a track that lead from St Benedict's church in the direction of Horning Hall, and then intending to make it a circular route by walking along the bank to 'Griff's Corner'. Unfortunately I forgot about the piling works on the BA Horning Marshes mooring and couldn't do that. Had to walk back along the road as far as Horning Upper Street.

I meant to post this earlier. When I got to Ludham Bridge I took this photo of Springer's Retreat tucked up outside LBBY. I gather she's ready for collection this weekend.

That was a good long walk Helen, so pleased the rain allowed you to stretch your legs. I don’t think I know that track you describe, another one to explore. 

I also forgot about the Horning marshes quay closure. Although I thought the path up to Neaves mill and Griff’s corner was the other side of the dyke to the quay heading. Accessed via a gate opposite the far end of the lay-by on the Horning side of the bridge. 

Thanks very much for the photo. Glad she’s all tucked up away from the paddle boarders/queuing boats in the area tomorrow morning. I’m picking her up mid afternoon, very itchy feet.

I obviously missed that. The fields looked pretty soggy after all the rain that we've had the last few days, so even if I'd found the track it might not have worked out so well. 

The track that lead to Horning Hall was pretty wet too, but at least it was doable in walking boots.

I’m going to look that up on the map when I get to the boat. Hope your men got back to you safe and sound.

Graham and Harry got back safely yesterday evening. I got quite jittery yesterday, mainly because I'd spotted on my calendar that yesterday was 62 years since my father's death (he died in an accident at work). 

We had the alarm on for 7 this morning as we'll shortly be on our way for the passage through Gt Yarmouth.

Have a good day Helen and crew. At least it’s stopped raining. And it’s not as cold as yesterday. That was not a May Spring day for sure.

A few weeks back I walked up to Burnt Fen and then across east past the radar station and then back down to Upper Street past Brownshill - there was at least one path that went across the marshes to the river bank so another nice walk.

On our way ...

Spotted you going past St Benets while I was prepping my weekend fry up!

We spotted Rambling Rosie as we passed. Just didn't spot you in your galley.

Where have the promised 'sunny spells' got to?

At least it's not raining.

[SwanR]

It’s definitely chilly out there today. I was going to do a bit of gardening but … not sure whether I can stir myself enough. Hopefully you’re having a good cruising day Helen.

Three contented characters and that makes at least five contented characters have  a lovely cruise amongst the SOUTHERN  MONSTERS. 

Kindest Regards Marge and Parge 

[Andrewcook]

Hi Helen and Grew enjoy your Southern part of the Broads where ever you all go. Make sure Serene keeps a good lookout and Pozzic guards you all at night sleeping🤭

 

[YnysMon]

Phew, that was a good cruising day. Left Horning around 8am, arrived Geldeston Dyke just after 4.30. 

Just one other boat in the dyke, the very pristine (as always) Kingfisher.

 

[SwanR]

Wow! That’s a lot of hours but I’m guessing you shared the helm. Never been past Beccles. Looks very peaceful. 👍

We passed you on the way to Yarmouth. Breydon was very choppy when we came over has spray over the roof many times. 

[Broads01]

Yay, get those miles in. Great choice for a night spot.

Make sure to compliment Robin on his nice shiny fibreglass hull

Yes, we spotted you. Breydon was fine for us, but then we were going the opposite direction!

[YnysMon]

Currently at Beccles for a brief stop for Lidl, water top-up, rubbish disposal, paddle board license for Harry and, most importantly, ice cream.

Didn't travel far today. Worlingham Staithe was free, so we bagsied a spot. Another boat turned up whilst we were sorting our ropes. So that's the staithe full up. That was lucky!

And the sun is shining brightly.
