When you look at this map it confirms that these a pukka moorings and must be kept so.

Thank you for the links.   That is very handy.

Am in Rockland Staithe and the moment. Was hoping to moor along the dyke, but there are numerous No Mooring signs (many more than before). From the dyke edge to the first ditch has been cleared and the the digging machinery is there. Looks like they may deepen the ditch as well. There is now a sign near the staithe that states work has commenced from 2 September for 3 months. A map shows you can only walk along the gravel path as far as the dyke - the actual dyke path (up to the Yare) now being closed. Coming from Beauchamp Arms you would be able to walk as far as the dyke and no further. The 'rumour' from Rockland Inn is that at the end of the season the staithe will be closed for dredging. For people who walk their dogs along the path there is now a sign saying it is a Nature area and dogs must now be on a lead. It's not that clear but when you get to the bird hide there is another sign 'thanking you for your cooperation' which implies you could now let them off.

Linny, Hi from us too. We're also hoping to go to Rockland Staithe the weekend after next and wonder if it's worth booking a table for lunch?

[Linny]

Hi Hockham Admiral, while we were in Rockland Inn yesterday they were receiving calls making bookings (did not hear for when, just it was a good sign to hear people making reservations). Perhaps not to be disappointed it would not do any harm to book - especially if it is Sat eve or Sun lunch you wanted. Enjoy!
