riyadhcrew Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Well peeps, it was booked last May and it has come around at last. We will be flying into Gatwick via Istanbul next Saturday morning (we hope) and driving up to Stalham to pick up Commodore 1 from Richos. First night is booked in the Bridge at Acle and then we'll have a lazy morning on Sunday, before going down through Yarmouth and across Breydon. Surlingham Ferry Inn is booked for Sunday night and I'm looking forward to that, 'cause haven't been in there for years. Monday morning will see us going into Norwich and mooring at the Yacht Station for a few hours, so we can go and do our shopping. Monday afternoon will be a run down to Rockland Staithe and dinner will be in the New Inn. Tuesday will probably be lunch in Loddon, then I fancy a run down the Waveney to overnight at Oulton Broad. Wednesday is a ''don't know yet'' day, but I fancy over nighting at Yarmouth, so I can go to Harry Ramsden's for fish and chips and a pint. Thursday will be back up north to Womak to pick up my NBN clothes order from the shop and lunch in the pup at Ludham. Friday - don't know. If anyone is around these areas at those times, please give us a shout. It would be great to say hello. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petersjoy Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Harry Ramsdens aint what they used to be as they are a franchise now. My brother inlaw lives just down the road from the original one in Guisley, Thats now a Wetherby Whaler. most of the car park is now having houses built on it. they dont get coaches or queueing down the road like it used to be.

Poppy Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 We're not great fans of Harry's in Great Yarmouth either ! Lims in Loddon, just a short walk from the moorings is very good! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Hi Poppy, A big thumbs up for Lim's in Loddon and all of the fish & chip shops in Wroxham are well worth a visit. Regards Alan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveO Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Welcome back to Britain! We are sitting on our boat, being slammed against the quay heading by a "frisky" wind, and their is worse to come, I'm told. Hope the weather settles down for you, but I'm sure you will have a great time anyway. Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwanR Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Scampi and chips at the Wayford Bridge Inn is highly recommended if anyone gets that far up the Ant and can find a mooring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riyadhcrew Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 The NBN clothes supplier is at Womak Staithe. Can't miss it. Just remember - I think you must order on-line and get it delivered, or go and collect it as I do because the post to Saudi is not good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonTecky Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hi Eric, We will be onboard Mercury Emblem from Friday night, we are planning on heading South on Saturday, probably a night at the WRC and one in Oulton Broad, heading back North on Monday hoping to get back to Acle for Monday night. The rest of the week we will be pottering about in the North. We will be sure to wave and say hello should we see you! Safe travels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riyadhcrew Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hi Steve, I'll keep my eyes open for you. We will be leaving Acle around 12.30pm on Sunday to catch slack water at Yarmouth and then on towards Norwich. Enjoy your potter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riyadhcrew Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 John, The old avatar picture was taken 2 years ago and the girls have changed a bit. If you still feel that way after you have seen them, I will change it back again. How's that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
