A relatively frequent occurrence. I saw one of these abnormal loads being escorted around the double roundabout at the Horning Road / Stalham Road junction a couple of weeks ago with the traffic stopped. You wouldn’t want to get stuck behind them.

Very true Jean.Must see these loads.Often Caravans at least once a week.saw one the other day,on quite a narrow road.Also we come across heavy farm traffic.Part of the fun living in the countryside and in the Middle of the broads.

The boat - which is 5.1m wide, 21.5m long and weighs 44,000kg - will be escorted by police on Monday, April 24, at 9am.

Surely 2am would be a more sensible time for all concerned?

I’m guessing the costs would be a lot more if it was moved at 2am.

I think its more a case that at 2am people will be driving on the road not expecting not to see a big abnormal load, they are better moved during daylight.

Loads that size are not allowed to be transported after dark.
