Therefore to get through Yarmouth anywhere near slack water you will either have to set off at the very crack of dawn or wait until late afternoon (does anyone know when The Berney Arms reopens?).

Upper Thurne having a 'safety valve' effect at certain locations probably is the best solution at this time. The comment on the Yare (Acle) is an example of the many ways tides and flows work. You can have a river flowing out on an ebb whilst actually rising in water level due to the converging flow gradients. The volumetric capacity of the Bure is also acting as a partial 'reservoir' under certain conditions. All interesting things, to me, anyway.

Yes, I'll be hiring in April on a 33 footer but have owned boats in the past up to 40', both single and twin screw. It's nice that people still offer to help you moor up but, and please don't take this the wrong way, I often decline the help offered. Why you may ask? Well, the wife and I have got mooring down to a fine art. I know what's expected of her with the bow line and she knows what to expect from me with the engine and stern line. Sometimes an offer of help can throw us out of sync as was the case once when someone kindly took our bow line and pulled it so thight the stern swung out. Not what I was expecting! We'll always ask for help from anyone if the un-predictable happens though. So, if you do see me over April, be you a hirer or privateer, please dont be offended if we politely refuse your help. So as per a lot of the previous posts, it's hard to tell the difference between a hire boat with private experience and a private boat. We're all the same apart from those knobs who give the Broads a bad name. And the Thames is just as bad but mainly due to first time private owners who refuse whatever help is offered - after all, they know best don't they. http://www.the-norfolk-broads.co.uk/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=22&Topic=19642&srow=114&erow=124 SetFair@the-norfolk-broads.co.uk (SetFair) Wed, 10 Mar 2010 13:15:05 GMT General Chat http://www.the-norfolk-broads.co.uk/replytotopic.cfm?Forum=22&Topic=19642 www.hard-rain-band.co.uk We are back at the Lion Inn, Thurne (at the end of Thurne Dyke) next Friday 19th March (error in title - can't fix). kicking off at 8.30pm Cheers R This message was edited by guitarman on Mar-10-10 @ 11:17 AM http://www.the-norfolk-broads.co.uk/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=19&Topic=19738&srow=1&erow=1 guitarman@the-norfolk-broads.co.uk (guitarman) Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:14:20 GMT Pubs and Restaurants http://www.the-norfolk-broads.co.uk/replytotopic.cfm?Forum=19&Topic=19738 went there a couple of weeks ago its was raining cats and dogs but the wind last week was blowing nice and cold roll on summer, mooring should be fun then Bill Gary 1hr 45mins 66mls away http://www.the-norfolk-broads.co.uk/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=47&Topic=19712&srow=13&erow=23 zacthedog@the-norfolk-broads.co.uk (zacthedog) Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:48:14 GMT Moorings http://www.the-norfolk-broads.co.uk/replytotopic.cfm?Forum=47&Topic=19712 Don't worry about those little bugs. In the unlikely event of their population getting out of control, there is a small bird that will eat nothing else, the 'Rosy breasted Nutscratcher'. This delightful little bird is both attractive to look at and has a wonderful and distinctive song. Normally a resident of the Patagonian rain forests, this little bird will nest willingly in tit boxes or in any other small enclosure, having an average brood of 14 chicks twice a year. This bird's only natural predator is of course the Patagonian tree frog, a bright orange amphibian who's diet is solely Nutscratcher eggs. Given the number of eggs this frog eats, which is many, the only problem it has is one of the regularity of it's bowels. This difficulty has been overcome by the frog in an ingenious way. Somehow, this frog has discovered that if it rubs it's rear end on certain leaves, the effect is that of a laxative. Polygonum cuspidatum or Fallopia japonica (Japanese Knotweed) is perfect for this. Honesty and Integrity ... When you can fake those, you've cracked it. http://www.the-norfolk-broads.co.uk/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=22&Topic=5188&srow=11&erow=21 Maurice_Mynah@the-norfolk-broads.co.uk (Maurice_Mynah) Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:38:16 GMT General Chat http://www.the-norfolk-broads.co.uk/replytotopic.cfm?Forum=22&Topic=5188 Hi BuffaloBill Have PM'ed you.

We are OK as we walk from home into town, but what about others. Tesco now time limit parking in their car park so thats out, what we need is the market to get a better location and have more town car parking. But on balance its a good thing that its growing.
