Last Day

This was our last day in Norfolk so we made the most of it. We set off early from our campsite and stopped for coffee at Filby Broad where Hamish met some swans ...

We moved on to Irstead and parked up by the Staithe at the church for lunch ...

Then moved on to Sutton Staithe for a cuppa in the afternoon ...

Out and About Again

Today we went to Great Yarmouth and stopped to photograph what we call 'Thunder River'. It is so called after a journey through here on a yacht many years ago on a not so calm day. This is looking downstream ...

and this is looking upstream ...

We then went on to Oulton Broad ...

Out and About

We were out and about in the RV today being drawn as always to water! We found a lovely spot just outside Norwich for a coffee ...

and then went for a walk beside Rockland Broad ...

before ending the day beside the river at Reedham ...

Spring Holiday 2004

Since our last visit to Norfolk we have bought ourselves a Motorhome and Hamish, a West Highland White (Westie) has joined the family ...



So in March we were back in East Anglia and staying on a campsite at Bungay, Suffolk.

We visited Beccles and this is looking up towards the church ...


and also the Staithe ...

Saturday 24/05/2003

Last morning and up at 6am. We saw a kingfisher in the creek and took this photo of the Broad.

Set off after an early breakfast and saw this little family on our way back to the yard.

There always seems to be building on the riverside.

We returned Zoe safely to the yard - the end of a lovely week on the Norfolk Broads.

Friday 23/05/2003

Our last full day on Zoe and it was a dry start. We motored round to the yard at South Walsham so we could top up with water and then moved out into the Broad to set the sails. Had a lovely sail to Ranworth - just motoring the last bit - and moored up at the Staithe.

In the afternoon we had a stroll up to the church where we climbed "89 uneven steps, 2 ladders and 1 trapdoor" before appearing at the top of the tower where we had the most amazing view.

Thursday 22/05/2003

We had a lazy start this morning but set off under sail on our way to Stalham. After half an hour of struggling with very little wind we had to motor the rest of the way - Tesco beckoned!

Before we left we visited the Museum of the Broads which was fascinating and worth a look. Then it was back to Zoe and a return to Ludham Bridge - mast down and up again - and on to South Walsham.
