PAULG Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Well we have just got back from what can only be described as a stunning week on the north broads. This was our second visit and we have already booked our third in June next year. The boat Evening Light 2 was spot on and a big thanks to Herbert Wood’s, they have come in for a bit of criticism on trip advisor but our experience was overall very good. Hand over could have been a bit quicker but we were not going anywhere on the Saturday evening due to the three rivers race. We managed to get under Wroxham bridge this year and had a lovely night in Coltishall (this was our longest trip Barton Turf to Coltishall). It’s going to seem like a long wait till next year. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouldy Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Your opportunity to opt out now appears to have been lost. Be warned, this could get expensive. 52 years after my first visit, many years of hiring, syndicate membership and now boat ownership and I look forward to my next visit now as much as I did the first time! 😁 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Great to hear your trip was a success. Anyone out last week was blessed with such good weather too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesey69 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 We ended up visiting year after year until it made sense to be an owner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrTumble Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Good to hear that you enjoyed your visit and have been bitten by the Broads bug mate, like Mouldy says, I've been a hirer then syndicate owner and have now got my own boat and I can never wait to get back to the river's once I'm on my way back home. Fortunately I'm still there right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Great to hear that you had such a good time. We had our first trip on the Broads in 2015 and haven't missed a year since. We've also transitioned from hiring to syndicate ownership, as we love the Broads so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickpea Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Lovely pictures and glad you had a good time. As others have said it is addictive! How did you get on with finding mooring spots? It sounds like it's super busy this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tended to get moored up for mid afternoon and then go off walking or drinking 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
