North Norfolk.

I did go on a boating holiday with some pals in the Norfolk Broads. Longish boat, propellor driven. Really easy to use. i just assumed it was called a canal boat. Sailor i am not.

Narrow boat-.designed for the English and Welsh canals although a few have made it to the broads by lorry.



Traditional broads cruiser. There are a few that made it to the Thames on Lorries.



Modern inshore hire cruiser. Found on the broads, the Thames and Scottish rivers.

It was as long as the first one but not as posh as the last one. It was loads of fun. Ended up in Great Yarmouth (as all roads do). It was four really immature late 20’s blokes so we all pretended we’re in Apocalypse Now heading up the river towards Kurtz. We all had soaker water guns.

‘I love the smell of sugar beet in the morning.’

Yes. I stood with one foot on the bow with my water gun. Looking through my psychedelic round Lennon shades pensively into the unfolding reeds. Until GY. In ’94. I still get flashbacks.

It’s got an audience larger than the combined populations of Sheringham and Hemsby!

We're off to North Norfolk for a few night at the end of September, staying near Cromer.
We've been over that a few times in the past and while it may not fill my heart with joy like Wales or Cornwall do, it does have its charms.

We went to Hunstanton for a day trip in the summer and I was pleasantly surprised.
Yes, it was a bit kiss-me-quick in places, but Old Hunstanton beach was great

Fit for a Queen. Queen Elizabeth II: The beach loved by the Royal Family

 

[kebabking]

My grandparents lived in Heacham, a couple of miles from Hunstanton - I remember with great fondness the great long beaches, the endless skies, the quiet tranquility of the landscape.

Hugely underated area imv. Very easy to relax and just enjoy it all.

Walsingham for strange religious stuff, things you might commonly see in Spain or Italy transplanted to the UK.
