Travelling up Sunday morning for a few days afloat , trying The New Inn food on Monday , honest appraisal to follow .

Hope to see a few fellow members enjoying the rivers 

 

Simon and Katie 

Went to The New Inn last night for the first time  in a long time now that dogs are allowed inside. The food was very good with a decent menu. There are so many pubs nowadays with a very basic menu blaming staff shortages  and covid. Prices are reasonable as well.

Arrived last night at 00:30 , soon asleep and snuggled (in the wet shed) set sail at 09:30 , it WAS a lovely bright sunny crisp morning , Ludham bridge only had approx. 7ft9” , we gently motored to Ranworth , as we came in to moor the sky’s opened and wind began gusting , we got drenched struggling to tie up in the increasing gusts , now moored up side on in the taxi rank moorings sheltering , beef pie for dinner tonight with a warming bottle of red

Have a fantastic few days both of you.  

[YnysMon]

Hope the weather calms down for you. It was looking really promising.

A stormy , windy evening but I slept soundly obviously not assisted by the few pints of Jumper I sampled in the Maltsters last night , which in case you didn’t know is closed on Monday and Tuesdays until April .

Up bright and early this a.m. and the clouds seem to be moving on so fingers crossed .

Katie awoke me with a cup of tea and a bag of goodies for my birthday (my 21st ), a new warm bathrobe which immediately went on , a boat log book, some sweeties , fudge and some of my ridiculously pricey favourite aftershave from Penhalligans .

Katie also has ordered some new ropes and ball fenders for Pipedreams for me too 

Destination today , not far , ending up in Horning as we are booked into the New Inn this evening

Thank you for that good review, and a belated happy birthday.

It's best to give good reviews these days, or not at all.  I have just been reading in the papers that a grandmother and her grandchild were thrown out of a hotel by the police in Georgia, U.S., in the middle of the night, as they had given it a bad review on Hotels.com.

Members should be advised not to give a review of their hire boat until after the end of the week!
