Sailing on the Broads -->

Catch the wind in your sails.

Exhilarating and affordable, sailing on the Broads has been a traditional pastime since the turn of the century. Explore the many unique landscapes and while completely immersed in nature, you’re never too far away from civilisation. Take in the surrounding peace and open space on your yacht. At dusk, beautiful sunsets shimmer over the waters, creating mystical glows and mesmerising colour palettes for you to appreciate on deck before enjoying  a supper under a sky full of stars.

Sailing holidays

There are a number of vessel choices when it comes to going on a sailing holiday including cabin yachts, half-decker style boats or even wherries! For those who want to stay on deck for the whole holiday, a cabin yacht is essential. Featuring home comforts, living space and cooking appliances, these deluxe vessels ensure you have a comfortable ride. Although not as luxurious, half-deckers can really enhance your Broads experience, getting you as close to nature as possible. Finally, wherries are large, impressive boats and some of them (WYC and Wherry Trust owned) can be chartered during the main season and accommodate up to 12 passengers at a time on a self-catering basis, with full use of a galley kitchen and toilet included. Read the Norfolk wherries section below for further information.

Skilled boat hand or complete novice, a sailing trip on the Broads with your friends or family is sure to be a memorable experience. Whether you take on the waters for a spot of relaxation, a feeling of freedom or a maybe just a sense of achievement, a sailing trip here remains a holiday to be enjoyed by many for years to come.

Sailing lessons

Learning to sail on the Broads

You need not fret if you don't know your tacking from your jibing, the Broads National Park is blessed with an abundance of renowned yacht clubs and schools, making it the perfect place to get a taste of this classic sport. A range of RYA accredited and non RYA courses operate from a variety of different locations across the Broads, ensuring there are lessons suitable for all abilities.

Famous Norfolk wherries

Wherries are ingrained into Broads culture and truly are a pleasure to behold as they come meandering down-river, their grand size and unmistakable tall sail a commanding presence on the water. They can be traced back to the early 17th century where they were used for transporting passengers and cargo, although over the years many different types of wherry have been in operation, including trading wherries, pleasure wherries and elegant wherry yachts.

Today, there are only eight Norfolk wherries in operation, comprised of some privately owned vessels with the remaining fleet in ownership of  Wherry Maud Trust, Norfolk Wherry Trust and Wherry Yacht Charter,

Over the summer season there are lots of opportunities to get up close and personal with these magnificent vessels, including viewing sessions whilst moored up, wherry sailing taster sessions and even private charters! Make sure to keep an eye on our event listings or visit the Wherry Trust websites (above) to see what opportunities are coming up.

Boating & sailing in Norfolk: a quick guide to exploring the Broads & coast by water

Whether you’re taking a short weekend break or exploring Norfolk for a couple of weeks, there’s so much to see, we know you’ll have an unforgettable time.

When you consider that this amazing part of the world has 125 miles of Broads waterways and a world-famous stretch of coastline, seeing it by boat really gives you a unique and unforgettable access to all it has to offer.

It can be hard to know where to start though, so we’ve pulled together a quick guide for getting started exploring this region by water during your time here — whether that’s on the Broads or across the sea.

The best boating and sailing in the Norfolk Broads

From canoes to river cruises through to sailing the open sea, there’s something for everyone. Naturally, if you’re new to life on the water, you may want some lessons or basic support before you get started.

Experienced captains and skippers alike will be wowed by the man-made Broads; there’s endless beauty, peace and wildlife up for grabs if you take the right routes and there’s no shortage of day trips on offer.

When you’re planning a day or two out on the waters of the Broads, you have to think about the kind of environment you’d like to take in on your days on the water — because the area is split into two fairly distinct sections.

The southern Broads — for quiet, open space & picturesque broadland villages

If you choose to take in the southern Broads, you’ll be tracing the River Yare and be greeted with open space and plentiful wildlife. These routes offer an incredible experience, awash with blue sky (on the right day) and allow you to take in some of the stunning villages and their pubs as you go!

If you follow the River Yare from Norwich to Great Yarmouth, you’ll enjoy a tree-lined route and can stop on the moorings of villages such as Bramerton, a picturesque village sheltered by ancient woodland. You’ll have time for a bit of bird spotting and you can enjoy the much-loved Water’s Edge pub.

Keep following this path downstream and you’ll be treated to more excellent pub stops, though as you move down, make sure you know about places where the river becomes tidal ( taking care to note times and advice ) and you need to navigate some obstacles such as the Reedham village and the railway swing bridge.

Staying on this route, you’ll eventually have to choose between heading towards the sea via Yarmouth, or stick with the Broads towards Lowestoft.

The northern Broads — for the ‘capital of the Broads’

If you select the northern section of these famous waterways, you’ll enjoy a more sheltered set of channels through which to sail.

The northern side, running the River Bure, is the most favoured with holiday makers, so it can be busier, but that’s no bad thing if you like to chat and greet your fellow captains as you go!

There’s plenty of stops, pubs and sights as you meander along these impressive and attractive waters. Along the banks of the River Bure on this southern section you’ll find Wroxham & Hoveton, the stunning ‘capital of the Broads’.

Some routes are well suited to a long day out on the water. You could take a trip from the north end of the River Bure and make it to Great Yarmouth sea outlet in a day (approx 9am-3pm). Broadland Boat hire has lots of great route information and handy distance calculators to make sure you can get the best from your day.

You might want to enjoy a kayak lesson or guided trip , a seal boat trip or even hire your own day boat with which to explore. There’s something for every ability and if you want a real treat, you can even find trips with dining experiences included — the perfect treat to round off a Norfolk break.

New to boating on the Broads? Here’s a few top tips for first timers…

Whilst taking to the Broads by boat for the first time is exciting, it can be equally daunting. Thankfully, you don’t necessarily have to be a seasoned boater to have a great time.

Planning your trip

Avoid being like a fish out of water by planning . Have a crystal clear day itinerary: know what time you’re starting, where you’re heading to, what time you’ll be there by, what vessel will be best and what equipment you’ll need — food, drink, maps, clothing.

Get in touch with your boatyard before you arrive. Most will be more than happy to guide you through the entire experience. Many will provide a welcome pack and plenty of advice on a suitable vessel and expected timings.

Make sure all your phones and devices are completely charged and arrive in plenty of time at the boatyard. This is so you can be shown how to operate your vessel — and to ensure you have plenty of time for questions.

You’ll be shown how to navigate, moor up, stay safe and much more. At this point, you’ll probably have an idea of whether you feel comfortable with boat safety and handling the vessel.

Be aware of the weather forecast. Some parts of the Broads can become tidal, making it challenging to navigate bridges or certain areas — although your boat hire provider will be able to keep you abreast of any possible dangers.

Staying safe on the water

Always wear a life jacket when you’re on the boat — this includes getting on and disembarking, when you’re probably at most risk of falling overboard! If you’ve got four-legged friends, doggy life jackets are also a great idea. Most boatyards will be able to provide these.

Whilst many will boat on the Broads for a good time, certainly know your limits when it comes to alcohol consumption, particularly if it’s your first time.

Needless to say, keep a close eye on any little ones who are with you and don’t jump in the water or try to rescue anything that happens to fall in — you’ll be endangering yourself. Don’t reverse your boat near anyone or anything in the water, either. That’s where the propeller is.

Be aware of the speed limits — 3, 4, 5 or 6 mph — and always keep to the right of the channel. The Broads authority have a Waterways Code leaflet and list of byelaws and speed limits which any would-be boaters should take a look at.

There’s a network of free moorings that operate 24 hours a day throughout the Broads, each with a range of facilities. Some mooring points may require a payment, so keep your eyes peeled for signs indicating a charge for mooring.

Of course, given the popularity of the Broads, the most popular spots can quickly become occupied, particularly during peak season. Arrive as early as possible if you’re concerned about missing out on your favoured moorings.

Most boating accidents happen when entering or departing moorings, so keep your life jackets on and be aware of wind, other traffic and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Have your ropes to hand and always moor slowly and carefully — there’s no rush!

Norwich, Yarmouth and Reedham have Broads Authority Yacht Stations which can help you to moor up.

Never let go of the beauty in the Norfolk Broads

This 90-mile stretch of coastline is one of the country’s most spectacular, so don’t miss out on the chance to explore it by boat.

Thinking about staying a while longer? We can’t blame you. Norfolk’s pristine coast and its Broads are a destination like no other and with easy access to trips, days out and exciting activities, you wouldn’t be alone in wanting to return time and time again.

Our Waxham Sands Holiday Park offers luxury touring and camping holidays beside the gorgeous sands of Waxham, just a few miles from the Broads.

For those wanting to make a more permanent base in Norfolk, we also offer holiday home ownership at Golden Beach , our other location in Norfolk. Those at Azure Seas , our owners-only park in Suffolk, will also be able to slip up to the Broads in no time at all!

Getting Here

Our address is; Ferry View Estate, Lower Street, Horning, Norfolk NR12 8PT

We have ample outside parking free of charge.

To help you prepare for your holiday with us and on the Norfolk Broads The Broads Authority have put together a series of short Broads Boating Essentials Videos with some really useful information and tips, please watch in advance of your holiday with us.

Check out our guidebook  which covers frequently asked questions, what to bring and check in times.

Checking In

We aim to have your cruiser ready for 1pm although official takeover time is 4pm. If you arrive after office hours for any reason, we have a procedure for late arrivals which means you cannot leave the marina on your boat until you have been checked in the following day and had your trial run. Your cruiser must be handed back to the Marina by 9am on your day of departure.

You do not need previous experience to drive a boat, when you arrive you will be given a full demonstration of all equipment on the cruiser and a trial run to ensure you are happy driving and mooring a boat. You will also be given a manual providing useful information, instructions on operating your cruiser and reminders of safe navigation.

This varies on a combination of the following: tides, boat, distance, heating etc and unfortunately it’s not possible to estimate before your holiday begins. The engines are designed to be most efficient at the normal cruising speed so to conserve fuel you should always stick to, or go slower than the speed limits, which are generally between 3 mph and 6 mph. This will avoid riverbank erosion and also allow you to enjoy the wonderful constantly changing scenery and wildlife. You are advised to take advantage of the tides on the lower reaches of the river Bure and Southern rivers, check out the  Broads Authority tide table   to find out more.

Yes, we supply auto inflate buoyancy aids for adults and buoyancy aids for children. Full instruction on fitting, when and where to wear your lifejackets will be given. We also have a variety of sizes for dogs available on request.

Subject to availability you can moor at most other broads hire boat yards and some yacht stations. There are also 20 free 24 hour Broads Authority moorings, as well as some private moorings which are chargeable. Most riverside pubs provide moorings for customers.

You should always stick to, or go slower than the speed limits, which are generally between 3 mph and 6 mph to avoid riverbank erosion and also to enjoy the wonderful constantly changing scenery and wildlife. We have a cruising times table which gives a guide to how long it will take to travel between points.

All of our boats have diesel powered heating.

Yes, although they are relatively small and not as powerful as your fridge at home so not recommended for storing frozen food.

It’s called a galley! The galley on your holiday cruiser has a gas hob, oven, grill, microwave and sink. Crockery, kettle, pots and nonstick pans are supplied along with cutlery. We also have salt cellars, butter dishes, cafetieres and toasters which are available upon request.

There is a Radio, TV and DVD onboard your holiday cruiser for your entertainment. The boat has USB sockets and 12v car type chargers for charging telephones. We also have inverters for some 240v electrical appliances, although they will not support high powered devices. There are showers with hot and cold running waters and toilets aboard

Yes you can, although hair dryers or straighteners which are more powerful than 1500w should not be used.

We will supply all bed linen and towels, to suit the details provided on the arrivals form that you will fill in prior to your holiday.

During the course of your hire period you may require a pump out service. This is available at boatyards, Yacht stations and some public mooring spots. We do advise that land based toilets are used as much as possible. Part week holidays do not normally require a pump out. however the higher the occupancy and the longer the holiday, the more likely your toilet will need a pump out.

Pets are welcome, they are subject to a small additional charge. We can also supply life jackets for dogs if required.

Broads Rivers

Yes in general you can fish. Fishing is permitted from 15th June to 15th March with a National Rivers Authority Licence which can be bought from any Post office. Fishing equipment can be purchased locally if required.

Passing under bridges can be dangerous if not done properly. Know the air draft of your boat (the height of your boat from the waterline to the highest part of the boat) and check the clearance available on the gauge board at each bridge every time you pass through. The helm should ensure the boat and everyone onboard, is prepared well in advance of reaching the bridge. Windscreens should be lowered and anything that has been placed on top of the vessel removed. Crew members must get to a lower part of the vessel and prepare to duck down if necessary. Life jackets should be worn by everyone out on deck. Vessels travelling against the current (into the flow) must give way and allow vessels travelling with the current (being pushed by the flow) to pass through the bridge first. Most bridges also have advance gauge boards in place so you can see the available clearance before reaching a bridge in order to plan your timings ahead of your arrival.

Potter Heigham and Wroxham bridges require the assistance of the bridge pilots if passable at the appropriate state of tide.  Find out more

NB In all cases, tidal levels can vary considerably and so affect the above figures.

Clearance measurements for bridges given are at Average High Water during summer. There will be greater clearance near Low Water, especially at Great Yarmouth and in the southern rivers. Barometric pressure, rainfall and wind conditions affect river levels so caution should be exercised and bridge gauge boards carefully noted.

If you have any more questions which aren’t covered above, please email  [email protected]  where we will be happy to help you with your queries.

Your Holiday Afloat

There are so many things to enjoy about a Norfolk boat holiday , and we know you’ll have a great time. Here’s just a few things to remember while you’re cruising the waterways.

Stop When & Where You Like

You are welcome to sensibly moor anywhere unless stated “No Moorings”. There are many places that you can moor free of charge; however there are also places where there is a charge for mooring, such as the yacht stations at Norwich and Great Yarmouth where facilities are available. All hire boatyards that belong to the hire boat federation allow visiting craft to moor free of charge at selected times.

Rules On The Waterways

There are a few very simple rules on the waterways and these are fully explained in the Skipper’s Manual provided on your boat.

Speed limits

Your boat has not been built for speed but is perfect for watching the world go by and for admiring the sights. On the Norfolk Broads, there is a speed limit of between 3mph and 6mph .

On the Broads you can fish at any time except the closed season (15th March to 16th June).

You will need an Environment Agency Licence, available from Post Offices these should be obtained before your holiday.

Eating In or Out

All of our boats come with a fully fitted galley, however many people choose to eat out at the riverside pubs.

The Broads Authority operates a quality charter scheme for pubs, cafes and restaurants so you can be assured of a good eating experience.

Heating & Washing

All our boats are equipped with warm air heating.  There will be plenty of hot water for showers and/or baths. Our recommendation is to run the engine for a minimum of 4 hours per day to charge the domestic batteries and heat the water to provide you with enough hot water for that evening, with larger families or groups of friends it’s well worth staggering your showers.

Toilet pump outs

Toilet pump outs are available at boat yards, yacht stations and some public mooring spots, charges apply.

Our dog friendly boat holidays mean there is no need to leave your best friend at home. Pets are welcome on board all of our holiday cruisers and there are plenty of areas to let them off to stretch their legs. Dogs are payable on arrival; £25 per dog for a short break and £40 per dog for a week.

A refundable £20 deposit is required for the loan of a dog life jacket and there are a limited number of these so please call the office on 01603 782207 to make sure we have one available for you.

Safety is absolutely paramount on and around the water.

Norfolk Broads Direct provides buoyancy aids for all of your party, and we even have lifejackets available for dogs (refundable deposit of £20 applies).

Wroxham, Potter Heigham, Wayford and Beccles all have low bridges through which some boats will not pass at anytime; these are clearly marked as you browse through our selection of holiday cruisers. Our cruisers also have a plaque on board to remind you. When navigating Wroxham and Potter Heigham Bridges we insist that you use the Bridge Pilot Service; the pilots are the final judges of whether your cruiser may pass under the bridge safely. Please be aware that there is a nominal charge for the pilot service at Potter Heigham Bridge.

Water and tidal conditions may make these bridges impassable to all boats at certain times. However, this will not prevent you from enjoying these places as there are lots of free mooring spots and boatyards close to where you can moor up and stay overnight.

*Please note that due to tidal conditions we cannot guarantee that any of our cruisers will pass under Potter Heigham bridge. The Bridge Pilots’ decision will be final.

The trains and stations of the Moscow Metro

2 Comments · Posted by Alex Smirnov in Cities , Travel , Video

The Moscow Metro is the third most intensive subway system in the world after Tokyo and Seoul subways. The first line was opened on May 15, 1935. Since 1955, the metro has the name of V.I. Lenin.

The system consists of 12 lines with a total length of 305.7 km. Forty four stations are recognized cultural heritage. The largest passenger traffic is in rush hours from 8:00 to 9:00 and from 18:00 to 19:00.

Cellular communication is available on most of the stations of the Moscow Metro. In March 2012, a free Wi-Fi appeared in the Circle Line train. The Moscow Metro is open to passengers from 5:20 to 01:00. The average interval between trains is 2.5 minutes.

The fare is paid by using contactless tickets and contactless smart cards, the passes to the stations are controlled by automatic turnstiles. Ticket offices and ticket vending machines can be found in station vestibules.

Moscow Metro Station Proposal

Variant Studio

Moscow, Russia

A proposal by London-based design and architectural studio VariantStudio to create a noise-absorbing metro station. The station would be covered in porous ceramic panels that would absorb the train noise and the echo from the tunnels, therefore providing a more relaxed atmosphere in the station and creating a much more positive journey. The quietest metro station in the world? Possibly!

Design Team

In the subway tunnels and its premises, the underground trains and a constant passenger flow create a lot of noise and a strong echo. The conceptual idea of the architectural design for Novoperedelkino station in Moscow is to cover the walls and ceilings with acoustic and sound absorbing elements, therefore reducing the possibility of the sound waves to bounce off the walls and ceilings and create echo.

The three dimensional pyramid and prism panels would be created from lightweight and porous ceramic, that would be sound absorbing and fire safe. The finishing of the station would not only absorb noise, but it would be also used as an element for passenger navigation. The walls, floor and ceiling would form a pattern that would point the way to the platform, nearest exits and indicate from which side the train is approaching, therefore helping the passengers to navigate easier in the subway station. Walls and ceilings are created in a neutral ochre tone, but functionally significant elements that require attention are highlighted in more bright blue indigo.

Though the station requires only low and simple maintenance, we've also developed an innovative solution for cleaning the platform wall. The platform walls would be cleaned with a method used in car washing—during the nighttime, incorporated brushes move along the wall and remove tough train grease.

The visual language of the entrance pavilions reflects the main purpose of the station: simple movement. The area between the pavilions is provided with multi-level green zones, pedestrian walkways, shrubs, flowerbeds and recreation zones. Just like the station itself, the green zone is designed to absorb noise from the nearby highway. The bushes are planted and trimmed, therefore absorbing a noise of 40 decibels from the passing vehicles.

Architectural design will provide the passengers comfort and safety.

The quietest metro station in the world? Possibly!

I realize you left the brushes uncovered for visualization purposes, but as I'm sure you know, they would have to be covered so as not to fling grime on passersby! Also, I couldn't help but notice the benches facing the tracks and thought I would paste this:   http://www.core77.com/posts/35103/Designing-a-Solution-to-Stop-Drunks-from-Falling-Off-of-Subway-Platforms  -  For consideration

There are many Montreal stations that had a bright style to them when new.  Now, half the lights are continually burned out and spider webs seem to never be removed.  Let alone the inevitable filth of 100,000 people bumping in and out everyday.

Looks annoying to clean.
