They're really looking forward to it. You will have a great time Had a cracking weekend. I even passed the watermill you posted a picture of on the way up to Wayford Bridge/Dilham. 'Bagged up' on roach whilst moored just the other side of the bridge..., although next time I go I'll need to make sure that the coarse season is actually open If I'd have been a bit better organised think I'd have spent a few of my nights mooring up the broads a bit, not with all the other boats but somewhere quiet. Some of the scenery is stunning.., some of the houses too, and what I'd associate with some very best that England has to offer. I let my seven year old boy do a lot of the driving, he was absolutely in his element. I'd recommend this to anyone, and especially anyone who has kids that like the outdoors. Even managed to get a shot of the 'rare' Marsh Harrier too... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kanny 20,936 Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Great stuff pesky glad to hear you and family enjoyed it... I have to agree in that I personally preferred the wild moorings to the official ones. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pesky1972 5,365 Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Booked up a few days at the end of next month. Thinking I might need to plan it like a military operation to ensure we get into pubs/restaurants etc. Looking forward to it though. Thought I might have a day or two either side maybe in North Yorks, or maybe Peak district. Was thinking of Go Ape at Dalby, and/or the North Yorks railway? Any suggestions for a family day out (between Norfolk and Scotia) most welcome. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
