Brian J. Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I am thinking of hiring early next year - March, April time - and would like opinions on whether to hire south or north. SWMBO would like to be able to see more than reedbeds from a single level boat. Which would be more scenic and have a good number of Broads/villages to visit? I have been used to the Thames, cruising on my Freeman 23 - alas now sold. We would only be hiring for one week and do not wish to rush about motoring all day, 2 - 3 hours a day would be plenty. All advice welcome. Brian J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel falcon Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 From what you say you want ,then it,s got to be the north, the south is mostly reeds until you get right up the Yare or Waveny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAYTONA-BILL Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I think i`d agree with yo there Trev, though the south is less busy, though as Brian is going so early, it should`nt be aproblem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares_9 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Would agree from your description of what you want that North would suit you better, also going March / April will keep you clear of the high season mad house which is the biggest drawback of being North.

Guest DAYTONA-BILL Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Have you thought of who you`re going to hire from Brian?, as there may not be many yards open in March. Most yards start their season in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian J. Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 Had thought of using Clive, he seems to be well reccommended on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Had thought of using Clive, he seems to be well reccommended on here. Good idea, Brian... and you're also setting off in the best area of the Broads for your requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian J. Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 Thanks to all for your input. Will post details of dates when SWMBO tells me when we can go. Hope to meet up with some of you then. Brain J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
