Pipedreams

[kpnut]

I’ve been told I walk fast! I have Finlay to pull me along. 

Better go with the 35 mins then.

Departed Ludham Bridge at 10:00 , rivers very quiet .

Now moored up on Gays Staithe for brunch then put Pipedreams to bed until Friday

Arrived late (for us) last night but just in time to grab a take away from Noodle King Stalham , which as always was excellent .

Departed the wet shed at 08:00 , gentle cruise down the Ant now moored up “at home” .

Bit wet and drizzle falling but I’m afloat so 😁

Had a lovely visit from Bikertov whilst I was watching the FA Cup final in The Maltsters , tried the Black Sheep bitter and Taylor’s Boltmaker both excellent but I favour the Boltmaker.

Lovely to see you again sir and thank you for popping over

It was great to see you both again, having spent a great weekend at the meet-up last week too.

I saw from your post you were on the taxi rank, and as I has a few hours spare thought it's only a few miles by road from Brundall 

You have a great boat there, another nudge to me that I need to get a bigger  boat 

Thanks too for the drink - remind me next time it's my round

Left Ranworth , just before 10:00 and decided to pop up on the ridiculous off chance Horning Green was possible , no surprise that is was full , about turn and up the Ant , through Ludham Bridge where the last spot after the woodie was free so in we went ; lovely sausage roll for me and an almond croissant for Katie in Dollies , very good it was too .

We had a marvellous evening in the Maltsters and were pleased by the appearance of Purdey , accompanied by Griff and his weekend crew 

Now just relaxing watching the boats pass by enjoying a lull in the rain

Uh-oh!  That’s not a good sign!  You need to have a chat to @Ray and @Lulu about membership of the multiple boats in a year club!

Having seen you as you passed Ranworth Island as I was departing for Boulter’s, I must say I was surprised to see you going past again as I left Boulter’s dyke. 
 

And that bridge isn’t on my map!

I did wonder if that was a new bridge that had been built on the quiet

Yeah, you lot are a bad influence on me

But maybe I will keep my 29 as a tender for the next one

I think you need to at least take the current one through a lock before buying a new one

On the plus side, if you did buy a bigger one, you could do so on the Broads where you can actually use the thing!

I'd considered going kayaking at Hartford over the weekend, but even that's out because of the SSA.

[CambridgeCabby]

Off afloat again tomorrow , will be in the Crown Friday night then down the Ant , hope to see a few of you afloat on our travels 

[CambridgeCabby]

Left the wet shed at 08:00 and gentle slow meander down the Ant , wonder where we will end up ??

Did you guess correct ?

[CambridgeCabby]

They’re finally fixing the front moorings 

[BroadAmbition]

Only been knackered for over a year, what’s the rush?

Griff

[Meantime]

Apparently been waiting for the high waters levels to recede, whilst doing beggar all to help the high water levels to fall, like maybe a little dredging on the lower Bure 

[BroadAmbition]

like maybe a little dredging on the lower Bure 

Really?

We can dream on

Let's hope the work boat is paying 20 sobs a night as it's taking two moorings. 

Kindest Regards Marge and Parge

Spend the day at Womack , but overcast and chilly but hey ho , a couple we met at Ranworth with a couple of young boys turned up so Bramble had play mates again to throw her ball for her so she is in heaven , great carvery in the Kings Arms then we left after having a pump out (£20) and cruised up the Ant decided to try our luck at Neateshead and managed to sneak in at the back at 17:30 , wondrous , work tomorrow so early start for home sadly .

Sunset at Ranworth last night 

[CambridgeCabby]

Fantastic night spent in The White Horse , unbeknown to us they had a group of folk singer’s with guitars and accordions taking turns , most enjoyable 

[CambridgeCabby]

Up this weekend, to enjoy this wonderful sunny weather , hopefully see a few of you on our travels
