The Horning Foot Ferry has been running for centuries in one form or another, taking holiday makers and locals from Horning across the River Bure to Woodbastick Staithe. In the last 20 years its history has been somewhat chequered and there have been years when it hasn't operated. I took it on this year and have realised how important this service is to the community and holidaymakers alike and how it could do much more for the area as a "water taxi". We have been awarded money from a local community fund to be able to pay the higher toll required by the Broads Authority. Now, we need money to repair or replace the engine on the Ferry, as it's becoming unreliable and worn out. Woodwork on the Ferry also needs replacing and money for extra insurance is needed.
