The #BVR is a 15" gauge line and we started out from #Wroxham, within the #Broads #NationalPark headed for #Aylsham.

Wish I had a good answer to that one. Being a #boater I have never tried actually seeing the #Broads by land. Places like #Wroxham and #Horning have plenty of possibilities for #riverside views but not broads.

Most Broads have edges too soggy to have roads near them and most of the banks are in private hands or the hands of organisations such as the #NationalTrust and #Norfolk #Wildlife Trust, whose priorities do not to encourage unencumbered access by the masses.

Malthouse Broad, near Ranworth, must be one of the best exceptions. I've never tried to reach Salhouse or Wroxham by road, but the owner of the first offers moorings which are accessible from a car park some 800yds away and it's probably possible to explore the grounds around the sailing club at Wroxham Broad.

If you don't mind being part of a party then the #NWT do have guided walks at #Hickling.

‘Dr John Packman, who is about to step down as chief executive of the #Broads Authority (BA), has warned #climatechange is “already biting” in the waterways and that swathes of land will have to be given up to be used as #floodplains to protect homes in the upper reaches from major flooding’

Flooding is a difficult conversation which will have to be had at a local, regional and national level.

Whoever takes on this BA role will sadly find themselves in a political mine field.

Mujeres al timón: un fin de semana de navegación de mujeres en el Norfolk Broads | Norfolk Holidays – ButterWord

The mazy channels, reeds and and big skies of the Broads are the perfect setting for a sailing holiday with wellbeing on the agenda

While the #Britsh #canals have much to recommend them, when you have the open spaces of the #Norfolk #Broads on your #doorstep it's hard to say which are best.

I like to think I can balance the various differences fairly as we are lucky enough to have a small #canal #workers #cottage that fronts the #Bridgewater #Canal at #PrestonBrook where we plan to keep our #canoe after our house move.

Just realised! All the #dinghies on that Pontoon are #Yeoman (if not the drop keel variant the #kinsman

They used to be one of my favourite #halfdecker designs on the #Broads. Cheaper to maintain than the #traditional #wooden #classes found on the Broads, but I succumbed to the #SeaHawk which is a fabulous design for #solo #weekend #sailing

"Amy & Tom out on Hi-Vis patrols of the inland waterways of the #Norfolk #Broads in between Crime enquiries & welfare checks, on some vulnerable boat owners."

@qmacro @PKYo
I read one report that suggested it will take a year to fix.

That's a lot of #water to tread.

Is it me or have both of you been relatively quiet recently?

Also, it must be time to up the hashtag count. There must be more #canal and #broads #boaters out there.
