ExMemberBobdog Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Dreadful place, so crowded, you'll never find room at a BA free 24 hour mooring on a Sunday afternoon in August - just look at this lot all jostling for space! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracie Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 When I read the title of this thread, I got in a right two and eight, rolled up my sleeves and was about to tell the poster in no uncertain terms, how dare he rubbish our beautiful Broads but then I read the post and now I understand.I also think the place is rubbish, all those early morning sun rises with the mist on the water, sitting on the deck watching a sunset with a glass of something nice, having family fishing competitions with the kids (letting them win), terrible meals in riverside pubs and to top it all wild mooring or mud weighting and you can't even hear any traffic, just wild life, fish jumping and the ripple of the water, bloody terrible place if you ask me Grace 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boaters Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 We have our boat on the Broads,but being only a short distance from our loverly North Norfolk beaches we should tell the world they are not that good as it took us ages to park due to the Beutiful day (25c) last Sunday week with lines of cars josling fo for a spot.Two days later almost had the beach to ourselves .bit like the rivers ,late September,Otober magic.Saying that we are off tomorrow for a week over the Southern rivers ,Stiil worth it even if it is busy.
