NorfolkGregToday was spent cleaning our boat. We walked to The Rising Sun to have lunch, then returned to carry on with the cleaning.

ScullridgeLast night we moved on the the head of navigation just below #Coltishall Lock. It was destroyed in the flood of August 1912. The lock channel by-passed Horstead Mill which was burnt down in 1963. There is now a quiet park there with footpaths and benches scattered round it. The photos were taken as the sun was setting.
With temperatures in the mid-twenties forecast for the weekend, we're out on Singing the Blues again. Just had a pizza, courtesy of the Rising Sun, #Coltishall. Now about to move to moorings at the head of navigation, near the lock that was closed after the flood in August 1912.
It's been frighteningly busy over the last week. However, we did eventually get the boat moved the 20.8 miles to our #mooring at #Coltishall. It wasn't without incident. As I dropped the mudweight overboard in #WroxhamBroad the rope gave way (Turns out replacement will cost an alarming £95) Ludham and Wroxham Bridges were negotiated without incident, if a little panic under the latter.

Also forgot to mention that I talked with the boatyard folk and our gearbox is ready to be returned to our #hamptonsafari. Should be launched by the middle of next week, from where we should cruise to #Coltishall on the #RiverBure #NorfolkBroads to reach our mooring.
