Location

Halfway across the River Yare at the end of the cut at Hardley Staithe, Norfolk, UK. Boaty McBoatface!

Participants

Plans

Sourcerer

Hire a boat and cruise to the hashpoint.

PaintedJaguar and MrsPaintedJaguar

The PaintedJaguars already have a holiday booked on the Norfolk Broads this weekend! Does this qualify for some kind of pre-emptive award? We're hiring from the Northern half of the Broads, and the tidally restricted crossing time for Great Yarmouth/Breydon Water is 12:45, with approximately two hours of travel time to the hashpoint from there. Factoring in a late-lunch-pub-stop on the way suggests we'll arrive at around 4pm (cool, but shame it's not a Saturday), although we could easily be an hour or so off that time either way.

We'll be in a bright yellow boat called Pearl Horizon 1 if Sourcerer (or anyone else) wants to look out for us anywhere between Great Yarmouth and the hashpoint sometime in the afternoon. Future internet access may be limited for us, so apologies if we don't contribute to any further planning discussion.
