It's that time of year that the low spots in the path get found out, anyone got a few bags of self leveling to tip in 🤣.

When is the tide too high to hire? Simples, if we can see the edge anymore then we can't board you safely otherwise the show goes on.

'The Bishy Blanket'

It's now unmistakably Autumn, brown leaves falling, crisp breezy days, is there a more beautiful time of year?

Although beautiful we can't deny it's not so warm out, so we bring to you The Bishy Blanket, at no extra charge you are welcome to use one of our fleece blankets for that extra layer as you enjoy the stunning Autumn scenery.

Use the Bishy App (look out for the QR code/follow the link on the website) or call 07810547779 to book your Bishy.

Whilst boat hires are still on going this here Bishyman has been absent from river green, why? I've been busy bringing one of our old spare hulls upto to spec. Aesthetically nearly there, then onto making it a functioning boat.

Sorry to those that wanted the pink undercote (a previous post) to stay, it's now a beautiful shade of Bishy Red.

Hi Guys,

We need to make a change or two, currently we have so many platforms that you can reach us on that Bishy Guy can't quite keep up with it all!

Something has to give...... And its Messenger! We are sorry if this is the format you prefer to book by but we are turning off messages from our page. Please use 07810547779 with WhatsApp, text or call between 9am and 6pm to contact us.

Or call into our reception, found on River Green, Thorpe St Andrew, NR7 0HE. That's at the east end of the beautiful public green, look out for our ice cream sign.

Thank you for understanding.
