Hylander Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Well they may think they are having a wonderful time but oh dear I bet their dear old Mums would be having kittens if they saw that. Just hope for Mum's sake they all got back in one piece. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 There are really hot days when the water seems oh so inviting. The water must be much cleaner than a few years ago, maybe it's safe to swim in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thereevos Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Where do you think this is? It look rather like Breydon to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares_9 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 It is Breydon, the posts are quite clearly visible in some of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I thought the channel looked a bit too narrow to be Breydon and they seemd to be kicking up quite muddy water so it might have been shallow. There are posts on Rockland but it looks to big for that. The only other place I can think of is Barton unless there are posts on the other side of that bridge. If it was Breydon then they are truly stupid and very lucky too as there didn't seem to be much tide running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trambo Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Title of the thread sums them up perfectly! As bad as this photo on flickr, also taken this year. http://www.flickr.com/photos/supine39/5 ... 80476@N23/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY littleboat Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Looks very much like Rockland Broad to me - definitely not Breydon as you cant miss those posts Luckily a Darwin Award wasn't forthcoming..

Guest Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 all wrong ..... its Barton Broad Jonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 What lovely chaps! Glad you don't see them in December I don't think its Rockland, I seem to remember the channel is marked by buoys and there is more foliage about. I also seem to think all the posts on Barton are wooden (no tops). I reckon it was taken on Breydon but possibly late in the evening which would explain the calm water and apparent lack of other craft. I’m probably wrong though….

Jupes Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Definitely Breydon. It can be calm at sunset when the conditions are right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares_9 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I reckon so too Suzanne (or Adam) looks like the western end at around high water, if you look at the first few seconds you will see a white topped cone on top of one of the posts, I'm not sur if any of the other two mentioned have that type of marker though as I tend to stay away from flooded fields.

Guest Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Yes, Breydon for sure. It all lines up correctly, the guy looking off the back of the cruiser has the green posts on the right of the channel, so that's the north western side of the channel, and the sun is setting towards the left of that, due West. It would have been interesting if a bling boat had chanced along, the resultant swell might have given them a surprise.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbird Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Yep, defo Breydon. One of the posts has a metal green cylinder with a white conical top. There aren't any of those anywhere else. Other than that, good job it was slack water, but I thought it looked like fun!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
