We like being at the start of the mooring (approaching from Stokesby) and there were missing and wobbly posts . In fact we saw one boat tie up and a post snapped off, so rather put us off and haven’t been back since . We may go and have a look when we have our week away soon and see if the posts have been replaced. We''ll be there Saturday evening all things being equal so if no one else provides any current info regarding the mooring situation, I will post a "review" on here.

YnysMon Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Lots of posts missing when we were last there in July. Somehow I doubt they would have replaced them in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much of the land access will be lost when they eventually manage to re-house the Little Whirlpool Ramshorn Snails which have, for years, held up the widening of the Acle Straight and the re-siting of the adjacent drainage dykes? Surely this cannot be put off forever, even by the tree huggers. And what happens when some government finally gets around to dualling the road, as has been constantly demanded?

Troyboy Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 We've been waiting for the A64 to be a dual carriageway between Scarborough and York for the last 40 years. I can't see the Acle straight being dualed in my lifetime. As locals to an area it matters, so we think our hopes are high on someone's agenda. They usually aren't.

Many years ago. The large and important industries of Grt Yarmouth have gone. The gas and oil industries are no longer dependent upon the A47. What is left of them. The Yarmouth straight is but a country road and will remain so for ever more. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Oh dear surely not selling up already, not long since Tony and his wife went. We always stay at Stacey. I wonder what has happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 We've spent many days there on our holidays, it's one of the boys favourite moorings. I love walking along that stretch looking at the boats (being nosy) I so hope it isn't turned into flats or housing. I know everything changes in time but not always for the better x 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of countryside and prime farmland still available for the "build and bye, bye", brigade. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracie Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 If only my numbers would come up. It is such a lovely place and of course I would let all forumites moor for free, you would only have to supply a little wine I'd give Smoggy a permanent mooring, he would definitely provide the wine x 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troyboy Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 It is a lovely moorings. Ideal for a stopover before or after crossing Breydon water. I've often thought that there is a lot going on with the animals, shop, cafe, windpump etc. However all of these things add to the charm of the moorings and it would be ashame to see them go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
