hin[22] - yachts
| 20 Jul 2022 |

Yachts for sailing on the broads, moored in the "canal" that leads to Horsey Wind Pump [out of view to the right of this image"] from the Mere.
TiG - Spark of Light
| 13 Dec 2016 |
|
|
Broads cruiser "Spark of Light" moored at Wroxham. ( If my notes are right, if not it's at Potter Heigham)
Lovely boat, nicely maintained brightwork; although the larger windows instead of portholes in the main cabin take away something.
TiG - fits under(just)
| 13 Dec 2016 |
|
Passing under Potter Heigham bridge, Norfolk Broads. A "bridge pilot" is available, but even so ... [apologies for focus and exposure being sub-standard, rushed to get in position and wasn't quite ready for the boat to shoot the bridge]
O&S - staithe seat
| 13 Dec 2016 |
|
|
|
Memorial seat just along the staithe at Horning from the Swan Inn.
No idea what the plaque said.
But a nice change from the usual benches, and the local youngsters can't sit on the back with their (dirty) feet on the seat.
gbw - Horning staithe
| 13 Dec 2016 |
|
|
In the evening calm, on the staithe outside The Swan Inn at Horning. We had just finished a rather nice meal.
We called here with the "William Riley" pulling lifeboat a couple of years ago and it is mentioned in some of the Arthur Ransom books.
oaw - a few swans
| 13 Dec 2016 |
|
|
This many swans probably counts as a herd - guesstimated around 50 head ! They seem to be hoping that some of the tourists will feed them ...
oaw - Grebe family
| 21 Jul 2013 |
|
|
The whole Grebe family paddling down the river, passing the mooring staithe for the Acle Bridge Inn. Note the flood defences around the compound on the far bank.
oaw - Grebes
| 21 Jul 2013 |
|
Waiting at Acle Bridge Inn for the "William Riley" to arrive, we were watching a pair of Great Crested Grebe and their two juveniles. The adult on the left is bringing a small fish to feed the young, both of whom have made a dive to approach the parent, the first chick to arrive swallowed the offering whole in one go.
TiG - Wherry at Horning
| 21 Jul 2013 |
|
A restored / converted Broads Wherry, has just moored opposite Horning Staithe. Some of the crew are about to do some shopping.......
TiG - Chain Ferry
| 21 Jul 2013 |
|
|
|
Chain Ferry at Reedham - two car (or equivalent) capacity. Despite the caution signs...... at least one boat went through the narrow and closing gap between the ferry and the slipway, and was speeding, whilst we were waiting for "William Riley" to arrive.
TiG - Broads launch
TiG - Windmill and cruisers
| 21 Jul 2013 |
|
One of the official places for overnight mooring....... just one of the dozen wind pumps seen between Acle Bridge and Yarmouth. Some are in better condition than others.......although I think the remaining pumps are now powered by electricity rather than the local wind. (Note : there is an off-shore wind farm not that far away)

Arriving for the 1600 call at "The Reedcutters" Cantley, as usual we had the reserved pub front mooring. However, the licensee had organized; a BBQ, live music entertainer and a raffle - all to raise funds for the RNLI. Well done!!
