Well, the ferry boat now has a new home and if you live in the southend area, you might just see it down there. It's an end of an era for the Horning Ferry, but it doesn't have to be permanent. Anyone with some basic boating and first aid qualifications, a load of energy and organising skills could make it work...
Oh, and you'll need a boat...

Anyone want to buy a boat???
I need to sell the ferry.
If anyone wants to get a ferry service going again, they'll get a discount!!!

Didn't think I'd be writing this just yet, but sadly this is to inform you that the ferry will not be running this year or for the foreseeable future. Its been a hard slog lately with so few of us to run it and a change of circumstances means I have no time spare.
The last 6 or 7 years have been amazing and we've met so many fantastic people.
Thanks to Ian and Peter for Stirling work setting up the company, especially to Ian who had the unenviable task of keeping an eye on all the financial side. Also big thanks to Simon for his help on the helm.
Lastly, to all those fantastic members of the public who used to ferry and kept it going, thank you for supporting this little piece of history for so long!!

Sunday....
Yesterday, there was 8+ inches of water on the lane on woodbastwick side. It's unlikely to improve today, in fact it may be worse.
The ferry will still be open for trips further afield. It's a gorgeous day for a trip on the river, up to the village or beyond!! Please call if you're interested. 07393 458682

Saturday...
Normally, we would be running out of salhouse Broad today, taking visitors to the nature trail. However, due to last night's torrential rain, the trail is flooded, so it's closed today. We will be running from our usual post at the Ferry Inn and will be able to run up to the village. Cyclists beware as its quite likely that ferry road on woodbastwick side, will be under more water than normal. We will check this when we get down (probably more likely to be around 1130 now)

Well, it will be soon, so the ferry won't be running today.
Watch out for this as there may well be awful weather days coming up, so we may make a last minute decision and cancel. If in doubt, give us a shout!!
