4 Sleeps

[PAULG]

4 more sleeps and we will be back down again on board Adventuring light 3.

Weather forecast is looking favourable at the moment fingers crossed.

Hopefully the fishing is good, and the river levels and tides allow is to get up to Coltishall, wasn't possible in June due to the tide times and needing the bridge pilot (hire boat) although the boat is only 6' 5" air draft.

We’re heading into spring tides again at the end of this week.  Tide times should be good from Saturday, but tides have been very high.  We were in Hoveton last Saturday and the boards were showing less than 6ft clearance two hours after high water.

With all of the recent rain, current low pressure and continuing unsettled weather, Coltishall may not be possible.  If you do get through the bridge, you may struggle to get back if conditions suddenly change.

Don’t want to dampen your enthusiasm, but at least there are plenty of other stretches of the northern rivers that will be accessible.  Have a good time.

Those boats have a narrower beam so stand a better chance than most but as Malcolm says the prospects for Wroxham Bridge are not looking good. The Pilot will always advise but a Plan B would be a good option.

I did post the plan B but i was not signed in, so it looks like it wont appear until authorised by a mod

we have already revised the lads week itinerary due to bridge heights, as it looks like geldeston is a no go, we will wave if we see you about.

Sorry Paul, if you are not logged in the post automatically gets declined and doesn't show in the admin section. None of your posts need pre-approval.

As you can imagine we have a lot of guests trying to post spam so it is set to decline to save waking the mods up from their afternoon naps.
