Linny Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Came past Somerleyton a couple of times recently and noticed nearly half the mooring is out of use. Looks like the 'path' is crumbling away from the front boards. Let's hope the BA fix before the season gets into full swing. It is a very popular mooring, so would be a pain for that amount of it to be unuseable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares_9 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 A very busy place indeed, always seemed pretty sound though, I wonder what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Looked OK in December - hope they get it sorted soon, looking forward to several in the Dukes Head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAYTONA-BILL Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Now that Le Boat are hiring out boats from the yard at Somerleyton, does anybody know if they allow hirecraft to moor in the basin, yard side, as if the wind gets up, it`s a bit more sheltered than out on the open river. I think it may also be a little bit closer to the village, which would be a bit kinder on Karens dodgy knee, and my dodgy ankle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leboat are members of BHBF ((broads hire boat federation) they will provide free reciprocal moorings when available to all hire yards except one who is not a member.

Guest Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hi, I have just vacated my mooring at Crown Crusiers/Le Boat, Somerleyton, yard side,to make way for the hire cruisers, not sure they will be too keen on other hire craft mooring in there, there is not much room as it is ,even for their own sixteen Le boat cruisers, unless lots are out & not due back, (still don't think they would too accomodating from what I have heard !). Also it is the quay heading near the Dukes Head mooring (quite along stretch, furthest away )which is barriered off due to whatever, could'nt see anything much wrong with it ! We won't be missing the swing bridge & Network Rail and having to arrange our boating around them. looking forward to the new season & new moorings Yee ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY littleboat Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 We were there last monday and yes indeed half the mooring is ta[ed off = most still looks useable if you have to use it - ie waiting for a bridge swing, but I couldnt see why, it wasn't obvious, but then again it never occured to me to have a closer look!

Hockham Admiral Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I've just e-mailed the BA to ask how long it will be out of use. Will post when I get a reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Good thinking John, I would be very interested in this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Good thinking John, I would be very interested in this. Don't get too excited, Howard... here's their initial reply: "Thank you for your email. The Authority aims to deal with all enquiries within ten working days." If that was a business I doubt I'd do any with them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Ha ha!!! I won’t hold my breath then! It will probably be fixed before they reply to you John! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
