JennyMorgan Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 The River Waveney at Ellingham, when a wherry could use the lock at Geldeston and could sail up to Bungay, pre WW1. Today, with a spot of portage perfectly possible in a canoe, and well worth the effort too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyMorgan Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Andy, am sure that you'll find canoeing through Bungay absolutely fascinating, passing under the private bridges from people's gardens for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Same river, just nearer Beccles. Different wherry? Same era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 I've mentioned Geldeston Locks, here it is, pre WWI The goal posts over the lock were there to dissuade wherries from sailing into the lock and damaging the gates. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baitrunner Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Canoeing up from gelderstone (rowan marine) is a delight. Do it in the summer with a picnic and a bottle of grape juice! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
