- Welcome back to another episode of our September '23 series.
In this episode, we wake up in the beautiful Surlingham where we decide to have a walk around the village to stretch our legs before having some breakfast at The Ferry House, enjoying another day of great weather. We set off for a relaxing cruise down the River Yare towards Commissioner's Cut where we moor up for the day. We then decide to hop on a bus to explore the historic and beautiful City of Norwich. Finally, we end our day with a few relaxing drinks and an evening meal at The Rushcutters in Thorpe St. Andrew.
So come and join us on our latest Norfolk Broads Experience!

Always brilliant camera work & narration/music balance.
Hello Balt! Thanks again for your kind words and comments, we appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the video. Take care
Thoroughly enjoyed the video,as always. You certainly picked a good weather week.
Thanks for your comment Alison, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the video. We couldn't believe how lucky we were with the weather this series, it certainly makes a difference! Take care
Missed not seeing you glad to see you back
Hi Roland, many thanks for your reply and support as always. We hope you are enjoying the series so far. Take care
An example of selfish mooring on Commissioners Cut, as the second boat moored alongside yours, thus blocking the rest of the moorings.
Norwich is a fine city, very interesting, lots of pubs! I remember that hot weather.
Hi Ratman, agreed, as mentioned in a previous comment, we did advise about their mooring blocking the cut. Unfortunately, we were not in a position to police this further. We found it interesting that a BA Ranger passed and also saw this without any further action. In our opinion, we don't think this was done deliberately to cause inconvenience to others, but you are right; not good Broads etiquette!
Brilliant videoes chaps cant wait to see no6 hope you are doing this year aswell
Hi Bruce! Many thanks for your comment and kind words, it's appreciated. We've got a new adventure/experience planned this Summer, which is something a little bit different. But we are hoping to be back on The Broads soon. Take care!
Thanks so much. Lovely to see Norwich and Thorp St Andrew again and, of course, the Broads. Land of my ancestors. Back there in June. Thanks again guys 😊
Hi Deborah, thanks for your comment as always we we hope you really enjoy your visit in June (and the weather is kind to you) - let us know how it goes!
Been looking forward to seeing the next instalment
Hi WaggiesCruising, thanks for your support
Why was the other boat directly across from you at the Commissioners Cut? Looked like it was deliberate to stop other boats mooring.
Hi Alasdair, thanks for your comment. Unsurprisingly, we were anticipating a comment related to this, even before we posted this episode. As you can see, when we arrived back from our walk around Norwich, we were the only ones moored at Commissioner's Cut. At around dusk, a second boat moored opposite us, blocking the Cut, as you can see in the video. We did kindly advise them that they should moor further down the cut to avoid blocking the entrance (as per Broads etiquette). However, as you can understand, we have no control over what others decide to do. Surprisingly, if you look at the video at the 34:14 mark, you will actually see a BA Ranger passing, who saw this but didn't act. We felt rather uncomfortable ourselves with the whole situation, but there was little more that we could do, other than advise! However, in our personal opinion, we do not think this was a deliberate attempt by them to block the cut. I hope this clarifies things for you.
It’s a shame that there’s no mooring at Whitlingham any longer (though it’s evident that some boaters ignore the ‘no mooring signs).
We've noticed some boats that have been moored there for some time. We keep getting mixed messages re: the moorings at Whitlingham. From our understanding, you can moor there during the day, to visit the Nature Reserve, but not overnight or long term. Not sure if you've heard any different?
