The above allocation is just for Minvo's OCD. You will be able to swap around so we get to talk to different people.

The Sunrise Boats come with:
•Fridge, Hob & Grill.
•Toilet, Shower, Sink & running water.
•CD Player
•12v Fish Finder.
•Easy to fold away canopy.

Once more people confirm then I will hire additional boats as required (but these will be the Picnic style boat).
The Picnic Boats come with:
•Hob, Grill and Sink.
•Toilet & running water.
•Kettle, mugs and glasses provided.
•Easy to fold away canopy.

DAY BOATS:

Late bookings cannot be gauranteed a Picnic boat as there are only 5 of these available.
If the Picnic boats are all booked then I can hire DAY BOATS
The Day Boats DO NOT come with any of the above (NO toilet, No running water, etc)
BOOK EARLY TO GET A BETTER BOAT!


Please let me know if you prefer to be in a Picnic style boat.

What's a Costal drive???


I am going to put myself down as a maybe again. I will make one of these, desperate to go to Norfolk!

 

Thanks for spotting my spelling error.
Norfolk is great for the coastal roads. They are great in the S.



Minvo

 

Yes. we're in.

 

Put us down as a possible (we may be on holibobs early this year due to rail works)

 

Hello Steve

Its a fair way off but count me in + evening meal + overnight stay and boat trip (is the boat trip a ford)?
Lee

 

LOL - I must try and get a ford into the drive somehow..... Hmmmmm...
To be honest I think there will be enough water.
