It’s been available for quite a few weeks now. The odd boat in but no ‘hogging’. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YnysMon Posted June 8 Author Share Posted June 8 Yes, but not awful. I managed in ordinary shoes by treading on reeds as there are still a few muddy looking bits in the middle of the path. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted June 8 Author Share Posted June 8 After a trip to Neatishead, mainly to offload the recycling items we’d amassed during our first week aboard, we ended up back on our home mooring this evening. HPC is closed Saturdays and Sundays (it seems that Clive has the enlightened view that his staff deserve their weekends off with their families), so it’s always very peaceful at the weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YnysMon Posted June 9 Author Share Posted June 9 You know how I said it was peaceful yesterday evening. As the evening wore on I could hear music in the distance…correction, I couldn’t hear the actual music, just the repetitious beat of disco/rave music. I must have been some way off and I’m not sure in which direction. Anyway, it was still going at 2.30am, not that it kept me awake. Did anyone else hear anything? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were at Irstead, Graham said he heard music which kept him awake for a while. I must have slept through it. Most unusual for me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard it at Salhouse in the early hours, very quiet though so must have been some distance away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouldy Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I wonder if there was an event on at The Beauchamp Arms? There are a few planned there for this summer, all going on until 03:00. They’ll be popular with the locals! https://www.tickettailor.com/events/bellfest/1134725hi https://www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Norwich/The-Beauchamp-Arms-Norfolk--NR14-6DH/Revibe-Summer-Solstice-All-Dayer/38300775/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted June 10 Author Share Posted June 10 As mentioned in Kate's Springer's Retreat thread, we met up with Kate in Thurne yesterday. I enjoyed my lunch, but was disappointed that they weren't offering Sunday roast. Maybe that's why the dyke was almost empty as we were making our way to the pub after 12. After waving farewell to Kate we headed up back up the Bure and the Ant again. We had intended to grab a wild mooring and there were two or three available. Our favourite just below Irstead had been taken over by a pair of swans, so we gave that a miss and ended up at Paddy's Lane instead. It was very peaceful there overnight until the wind picked up this morning. When I finally got up at 8'ish the rain was lashing down. Graham suggested that we go back to our home mooring, so that's what we did, taking our time as the visibility wasn't great. On the other hand we hardly passed any other boats apart from several Richardson's boats that were heading across Barton Broad at quite a pace...probably panicking that they wouldn't get back for 9. I don't think we'll be moving much for the rest of the day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s particularly good if you are looking for a shady spot…which isn’t just now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted June 10 Author Share Posted June 10 This holiday is notable for the number of cuckoos and bitterns that we’ve heard…almost at every mooring. Even now on our home mooring we heard a cuckoo earlier and there is now a bittern somewhere nearby. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 We've ended up in Acle today, having forgotten about the quay heading works in Potter, which meant there weren't any spaces left on the BA moorings. It looked pretty full in the Herbie Woods basin too, though we didn't go in to check it out properly. At least we got a space near an electric post, with over £1 credit too. Should come in handy this evening as the temperature drops...or even this afternoon as it's pretty miserable still. Every time the sun tries to make an appearance the black clouds take over and we get another downpour. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 It’s definitely brightened up now … for a while. I dodged the showers to get out at lunchtime. Enjoy Acle. 🙂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 Guess what…it’s raining again. I don’t think we’ve had this much rain when on the boat even during the winter months. We’ve just hunkered down in Horning yet again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
