We have provisionally booked in for one night on Sunday 5th July where we will stop off on our way up the river and then again for a couple of nights on the 13th and 14th July on our way back out of the river and heading towards home.
The berthing rates at Kings Lynn are very competitive and the rate for our boat works out at a very reasonable £10.50 per night with electric and water on the pontoons, electric via a prepaid smart card and meter and water to each service bollard. Security is good with a locked gate to the berths and the berths being a good distance from the quayside. The pontoon is close to the excellent Marriotts Warehouse restaurant on the quayside and a short walk into the town centre to the pubs and shops.
We are hoping we will be allocated a berth on the outside of the pontoon this time around. For our visit at Easter, the pontoon was pretty busy and we were allocated an inside berth, now whilst there is nothing wrong with these berths, and they are easy enough to get into, they are quite tricky to get back out of. There is not a lot if room between the pontoon and the quayside, we could just turn around in the gap, but with the tide flowing it wasn't an easy trick to pull off.
It's all starting to come together at last. Not long to go now.
