TheQ Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 They do close the broad to navigation one day a year to keep their rights, Normally Christmas day or about then by putting chains across the entrance. This isn't the only place that does this, I know there are some "public" roads that go through estates which are closed in the same way.. one of those roads just north of Milton Keynes I used to use regularly.. As to Mud weighting I'm not sure what their policy is, But if you did it, parking on the racing course would get a very short request to move... The Sailing Club have the lease of the land the club house is on and the Broad, I can't remember who actually owns the Broad.. Wroxham Broad never had a staithe on it, nor was it en-route to somewhere so it never gained rights of passage for anyone.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadsAuthority Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Hi all, I can see this is a rather old thread but thought I'd add a comment in anyway for future reference. We've recently added a list of slipways to our website: https://www.broads-authority.gov.uk/boating/facilities/slipways-and-launching-points It's by no means a comprehensive list but it does have some additional information and can be used supplement the existing content out there. Thanks, Tom 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not the best place to post it but just a warning that this weekend is the Start of Wroxham Week so the Broad will be quite busy.

marshman Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I must admit that noone has ever come up and spoken to me and I mudweight there quite a lot - could just be lucky I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they mind as long as you are not on the racing course, (which is most of the broad..) Yep, Wroxham Regatta week Starting Saturday, Horning Regatta Week the following Saturday, Hickling weekend regatta the week end after that. a real enthusiast (or lunatic) can sail every day of the week for the whole of the school Summer holidays..
