JimG Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Hypothetical question. You're on a weeks holiday, out of season (so mooring isn't an issue). You have to cover both northern and southern Broads, where do you moor overnight? Here's mine (I'm starting from Stalham) Ranworth Oulton Broad Loddon Rockland Staithe Acle Horning Sutton Staithe Interesting to see if I stick to this when I come next.

riyadhcrew Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 JimG, Ranworth to Oulton and Rockland to Acle are 2 very long cruises. I hope you have good tide times for Yarmouth. Good luck and stay safe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitrunner Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I'd throw Beccles in instead of Oulton mainly because I like the town better - mooring probably easier/better at Oulton though. And at Rockland stay in the dyke off the main river rather than the Staithe - quieter, but beware the cows on the footpath to the New Inn - Moooo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxwellian Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I would like to fit Coltishall, Bargate broad, Langley Dyke and Geldeston in, not necessarily in that order. Not sure about Acle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTRIPLE Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Anywhere they`ve got leccy posts if it`s out of season. Seriously though, i don`t think we could do it all in a week, so i`d have to have at least 2. Going from Brundall, Probably Reedham 1st, Thurne dyke or Womack water 2nd Wroxham, or Coltishall if the bridge was doable 3rd, Dilham or Sutton 4th, Acle or Stokesby if there`s space, 5th, Loddon 6th, then back to Brundall 7th. I`d love to do a lot more, but we`d definitely need 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveO Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Rather than Acle, I would press on to Fleet Dyke on the way into South Walsham Broad. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetKingfisher1 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 One week on the broads is never long enough . Instead of rushing around try to relax and enjoy your week . Regards Marina 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baitrunner Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Your right you need more weeks. I have done the whole of the south and north in a week. We had 6 drivers so still plenty of relaxing and refreshment time, but another week would have been easier. And it took me a lot of planing with bridges and tides.

Happy Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 MM-2015 tide tables are available on the Herbert Woods web site, I printed one off yesterday, very useful! Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 A great idea to c in c for charity but please remember that the approach to the 'locks' is governed by the Beccles town bridge which is low and will restrict some craft that might have wanted to join in. Regards Alan. And some might have to meet you at Wroxham! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Sounds a good idea CinC... We always do the whole lot in a week I like sitting at the wheel.. My typical route is: (Brundall) Loddon Thurne or womack Neatishead Salhouse (Mud weighted) Ranworth (Mud Weighted) Beccles Rockland or Surlingham (Mud weighted).. (Brundall) Brilliant week... (This is two weeks): (Brundall) Loddon Thurne or womack Neatishead Salhouse (Mud weighted) Salhouse (Mud weighted) Salhouse (Mud weighted) Salhouse (Mud weighted) Salhouse (Mud weighted) Salhouse (Mud weighted) Salhouse (Mud weighted) Ranworth (Mud Weighted) Beccles Rockland or Surlingham (Mud weighted)..

Baitrunner Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Nice route Alan. Hope you don't do the mudweight in Rockland though - If you just go outside the markers on a dropping tide you can save the effort of heaving the mudweight as you wont move for 10-12 hrs anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 lol no up against the bank in rockland.. just across the road from the pub so I can stagger back.. Although we have seen "firefly" (sister of my parents boat) mudweighted just off the channel, fishing.. Although we saw them a few times and there were nutters... Nice route Alan.

Baitrunner Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Still not moored at the Staithe as a bit concerned about the water depth getting there - and the width if anyone is coming out. But then after our last trip moored up the dyke with the pins out and our close encounters of the Bull kind on the way back I would like to give it a try.
