We've been twice, low season (April last year) and high season (late July
2005) and the main difference we found was the 'party noise' levels
changed.
Even in high season it was still easy to moor alone, or in a secluded
area.
We found that we could have as rowdy or peaceful night/day as we liked.
It
was, pretty obviously, at the 'hotspots', where everyone seems to want to
go
(and why not?), a little awkward to get marina berths every night in high
season, but even then we always found moorings 'just round the corner', so
to speak, that were much more agreeable and quiet anyway. :)
On the whole there was, again pretty obviously, more traffic, but again
there are still peaceful spots and rivers to be found.
I'd say try not to worry too much about what you 'think' the broads might
be
like and just try it. It can, as said earlier, be as peaceful or rowdy as
you like, if you keep an open mind and a weather eye out. :)
