Hi & welcome to the site

One bit of advice or possibly a warning

The height of summer on the broads is abit like the M25 on a Friday rush hour. You may want to consider going slightly out of season when the weathers still good but the rivers not so mad

Hi,

I might be worth looking at getting a sailing/row boat from the hire yard.

These are good fun and can help with pub access, as often the moorings out side the pub will be full, but there will be moorings free on the opposite bank.

Get the yard to show you how to use the mudweight and use it to moor one night on a Broad and watch the sunset.

Have Fun

I don't have favourites Sue

OK OK, that one's hard to substantiate! Richardsons good value, reliability and regular investment in updating the fleet wins the day most times in this house
