Salhouse is a lovely Broad and I took Hamish for a stroll along the boardwalk which ended where there was an example of Fedging ...
I'd never heard of it before and thankfully there was an explanation of it ...
There were lots of little gaps where we could see through to the water ...
Some lovely bulrushes ...
and then we were back near the boat ...
We left quite early as we had a long day of motoring ahead of us. Wroxham was our first port of call as we needed a top-up of food from Roys. We moored in the basin in almost the same spot as last year ...
with the Broads Tours passenger trip boats moored opposite us ...
Before shopping we went round to the Hotel Wroxham which has the webcam, rang Pam and then waved to her as we chatted and she watched us enjoy our coffee. A quick shop in Roys then back to the boat and away from Wroxham ...
There is some lovely property along this stretch of the river ...
and this sign always makes us smile - click on the photo to read it ...
We had the river almost to ourselves at times with just the wildlife for company ...
Approaching Horning again ...
The wherry White Moth ...
and a lot of work going on here ...
I expect a new building will be here next time we visit. Another fabulous house ...
After passing St Benet's Abbey we saw just how much work is being done for flood defences ...
We then turned up the River Thurne only to find that the Lady Yacht Club were just about to start a race and there was mayhem!
Last year when we came there was a chalet being rebuilt ...
and this is it now ...
After a short stop in Herbert Woods for a pump-out we moved out onto the river and moored for the night. We were hoping to get under Potter Heigham bridge on the low tide in the morning so Mike rang the Pilot and he seemed quite hopeful as we only had a small boat. Fingers crossed!
