So basically I can expect 8 Northern Pissheads being rowdy and beered up on a Boat in my lands this Summer?
I would reccomend my friends boat company but last year various Northern pissheads got drunk and actually sank a couple

we can handle our beer but not sure about boat, are you allowed to "drink and drive" a boat? Whats the usual carry on then sail, get off get pissed in pubs and carry on sailing?

fucking sail? who are you lord nelson?
you'll have to pay a deposit on anything you hire, the norfolk broads arent exactly magaluff, dont come expecting that, or boats full of randy women wanting to be porked, this isn't "Carry On Up the Bure", you will most likely get bored, get drunk and one of your friends will die.

Been couple of times, trundle along the broads stopping and mooring at each pub with loads of fishing along the way. Good and relaxing

I used to go every summer with the family. That went pete tong when they split up though. It's not too bad there tbh, Boat hire was good but they're slow as fuck!

Went a couple of times as a young lad, and went with 5 of us from school once on a canal boat.
i'd like to do it again, but all my mates seem to think its a stupid idea. Think they are too into sniffing coke and getting drunk

People with 12 fingers, webbed feet and the locals seem to know each other a little too well. I'd give norfolk a wide birth mate

Went last year. Just 2 of us. We hired from Barnes Brinkcraft in Wroxham. Was a really good week tbh. Your not aloud to "navigate" after dark, so we moored up by about 4ish 5ish and found a pub. Had dinner and a few drinks, then go for a walk or chill out on the boat.
Some good places we went to are Ranworth Broad (nice pub there), [ill edit late as i cant quite remember the places].
Luckilly most of the villages are pretty close together, so you dont spend ages navigating. About an hour or so at a time.
Ill upload some pics or what not later

What does a webbed fanny look like when it's at home?

They generally don't allow 'all male' parties ie pissups. Prices aren't too bad if you get a decent group for a bigger boat. I prefer to go for the fishing, but unfortunately prices are higher during fishing season.

Boat trip on the broads is awesome.
We hired a boat from Wroxham mate and did a week pike fishing and then moored up at the Swan Inn at night and got pissed.
Awesome.

Yeh we are taking fishing gear too . I'll tell them it's mixed and pick them up down the road . How much is deposit? Is it far from Norfolk nightlife? Is wroxham a company or a place?
