The Broads are a different matter, the commercialism maybe be more so than in AR's day but otherwise it was all pretty much as he described it.
I agree Mike. As you may know I live within easy travelling distance of The Broads, about 50 miles, and regularly work in Norwich, so it's very easy to pop up to Wroxham or Potter Heigham for lunch. I started visiting The Broads in the early sixties and apart from the change to the type of boats there's very little other changes. There are still out of the way places one can drop anchor and not see another boat.
My Daughter and Son-in-law have a 28' Elysian cruiser that's currently moored at Martham Dyke, but the threat of vandalism has forced them to change mooring, so we're off on Saturday to take it to Horning.
