Norfolk Broads

Anyone got a broads cruiser on the broads?

 

I've been toying with the idea of getting one for pleasure use, but would like a residential mooring, how difficult are they to find?

Broads authority run the show, and will bend you over at every opportunity, I contemplated it once when I was more "Nomadic" they are known as "live aboard,s" in that area and are thought of as the same as pikeys in a lay-by, and sometimes that's exactly what they are, there's plenty of mooring available [at a price] in various marinas some have full electricity hook up , and water and often decent clubhouses but they are generally not full occupancy 365 days a year. most live aboards roam from public mooring to public mooring and are governed [moved on ] by river police, many of the riverside pubs and restaurants charge for temporary mooring while you use their pub, the whole shitshow is organised to cream the visitors for every penny possible. combined with the almost regular discharges of raw sewage when it rains or any other opportunity, and the rising crime rates, and drunken behavior of some visitors, it's not somewhere I would consider any more.

Same as CaRT running the inland waterways, fortunately I didn't ask about that.

 

There are many privately owned moorings, unfortunately they aren't overly easy to find.

 

I've lived on a narrowboat, word spreads quick on the towpath when a residential mooring comes available. I was just asking, in a round a round about way if anyone had.first hand experience.

Ok, lets start again with ,, what do you class as a "residential" mooring? do you intend on living on the boat as your only home?

what do you class as a "private" mooring? as the broads authority control those also as mostly they are connected to the main waterways, therefore you will have to pay all the relevant tolls and abide by their rules and restrictions.in addition to all charges made by the marina or private mooring.

there's plenty of discussions on the net about permanent occupation on the broads and it's associated problems, below are some,

Are you puddled, or pissed? There are many privately owned residential moorings on the broads, just like the cut, similar to the cut they are not easy to come by. I stated in my opening post it would be for pleasure use. If/when you've anything useful to add feel free to join in with something constructive.

you stated "I've been toying with the idea of getting one for pleasure use, but would like a residential mooring"

the definition of residential regarding moorings is,,

 

Residential moorings, also known as liveaboard or long-term moorings, are specifically designated spots where boat owners can legally live on their vessels for extended periods. These moorings are distinct from leisure moorings, which permit only occasional overnight stays

I gave you info on "residential" moorings which is what you asked for.

but after your little toys outta yer pram rant,  find the fecker yerself. twat.

You found a mooring right enough. But not in the Norfolk Broads. Not ever river in Norfolk is linked to Broads

Just gave up looking at them as I just wanted something small but its either trailer and launch or as said before bend over (a fortune in mooring fees).

Then there's maintenance, insurance...
