The Grand Tour of the Norfolk Broads
Here's a video of our 2024 holiday to the Norfolk Broads. An epic week-long adventure to navigate the entire network of waterways (other than past low bridges). Is it possible to see all of the Norfolk Broad's waterways in just one week?

A return to the Norfolk Broads - Holidaying with 'Long Covid'
มุมมอง 2.1Kปีที่แล้ว
After several years, I have finally been able to return for a boating holiday on the Norfolk Broads. Due to having 'Long Covid' or possibly 'Chronic Fatigue Syndome', I was dubious whether this sort of holiday was still in my grasp. I am pleased to report that, with support, it is! I have largely made this video to show what can be done on a short break when you have to be very mindful of being...

Less talking ! More boat pics .
@@MarkNicholson-g7i Everyone's a critic... Lol
Great video. I was there in storm Kathleen. Took 4 attempts to cast off from the monastery ruins and had to moore in the boat yard at Ludham as all the spots were gone. Back next year to explore the south. Top work guys👍💯
Wow , that was one long slog lol , i thought with the water being high that you would'nt get back to yarmouth , we've hired melody boats about 3 times , we love them , but we've never taken them across breydon , we went down to yarmuff in san remo once , but had to come back because of engine problems .we always enjoy sedan boats . Thanks for sharing .
@@lorithorpe3502 No problems at all through Yarmouth as long as you go at the right point of tide... We loved our week on Melody - great style of boat.
Lovely, thanks!
Nice , just got back from a 2 week break . Great time , goes so quick
Really enjoyed the upload, thanks for taking the time. The first time I visited the Broads I tried to do the whole system & it was exhausting.
Did you manage it?!?!
Great video! Thanks for sharing your holiday with us!
How much diesel did you use ?
@@marklawrence855 I meant to add the photo of that - woops! It was near as makes no odds 140ltr (nearly £200!).
Nice to watch such a positive review. Broads holidays are always great, especially with kids, great upload thanks.👍
I have a bounty 34 on the Shannon, they are a great go anywhere boat. I concur about the starboard cabin, too narrow for two adults, with triangular infill piece one can use the forward as a large double. I have the bedroom sinks removed to give more storage space. There is no need for them on a small boat. The separate shower mixer has been removed and the sink has been adapted to take a bath/shower mixer with the shower head on a standard sliding bar.
We have one over here in Ireland, absolutely fantastic boat on the River Shannon.
Great review, I own this make of boat it's a brilliant boat. It's a bounty buccaneer 34 😊
@@marklawrence855 Where do you keep your Bounty Buccaneer 34.
Not a bad boat, she's been around a long time, I think the way to describe this boat is functional, but with the hire price of boats these days they are quite reasonable, but I think only twelve volts so you can't use your hair appliances but OK for a week,
the boat name is pronounced eve -ver-shum , great review
Interesting but unwatchable after a few minutes, spoilt by a yapping brat
''Long Vaccine''...
Congratulations, your really know how to screw up a living/sleeping area... Ugh!!!
sorry but i did not enjoy this video as not a lot was shown in terms of cruising etc
It was a video mainly about their holiday, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Lovely to see you back but not so lovely to see how you are still exhausted from Covid. Thanks for the video and glad you enjoyed your trip to the Broads.
we hired spring horizon when it belonged to horizon craft , we hired 3 from there , i really miss that company , we usually find that the sedan boats are better for us ,as you can see out of the back better, but no good for bridges lol , & we've had melody twice , & san remo once , the ones i hate are the two tier drive boats , & the coffin bedroom as i call it under the driver section lol , thanks for sharing .
Melody is definitely on my hire list - I'm with you, I prefer a higher helm position for the view!
Great video thank you 😊
Nice boat. We always had the Spring Horizon as it was just right for the two of us. Looks to have been updated since we were last on it 18 years ago. I expect that the other Spring Horizon has had the same treatment.
Thanks for that. Enjoyed the video. Going on a similar boat this April. Very informative.
I hope you have a great time. We have just returned from our latest adventure there!
you didn't seem to show us much which is rather disappointing sorry
No apology necessary - it is a fair comment. I'll tell you this though, the beauty and quiet of that part of the river is well worth the trip.
you could have at least stopped for a short while and show us Geldeston
Sorry! That will have to remain a mystery for you to discover yourself!
I have just picked up your video on Antigua 2. Thank you. A very informative and genuine review. Warts and all and good to see that Richardson's were as usual really spot on with any problems. Edited to say , thank you for letting us know that it might prove difficult to get on and off of this vessel if you have limited mobility. We are in our mid 70s and getting more crotchety as the years go by. I would need a crane to get me on and off. Horses for courses though and probably just ideal for another family.
We had a great time on antigua we didn’t expect Monaco
It's impossible to not have a good time on the Broads! Sadly, Antigua just isn't the boat for us. I hope you had better weather than we did!
we felt disheartened this year with san julian , the front bedroom was'nt very long & i had to sleep sideways with my feet on the other bed lol , & the back bedroom window leaked when it rained too , ive never been a fan of that bedroom , i called it a coffin bedroom as the ceiling was so low , as you stood above it to drive outside , with it being a dual driving boat , & the sides of the boat was really high , & we had a real struggle getting on & off , especially at potter , we never usually use boat showers , we use the ones at the harbours or marinas , but we could'nt use barnes showers because of covid , so they say , so we used potters showers instead , & sometimes use richos .
Hire boats ,are never perfect ,not surprising really ,but that's boats!
great video , can't believe you went all the way to gelderston & back to richos in just 4 days , you must have been shattered , that's a very long trek , we don't even contemplate it unless we've got a full week lol .
I think lots of people would consider it mad but we had a great time. I've always wanted to get to Geldeston and this boat could get through Beccles. Besides,the weather was so miserable, it was actually quite nice just chugging along playing games!
@@catcouk we've never actually been to geldeston , we've always hired big boats like san julian , san remo , & melody sedan style boats , but it was that busy this year that i did'nt really enjoy it , so we're hiring a houseboat next year at wroxham .
We hired a 'bathtub' for a short break past year and it was great. However, I'm with you, I like a dual steer and I wouldn't want to spend too long low down, or on any trip past Acle! Sorry to hear you had a bad experience but I guess this year has been all sorts of bad!
epic quality mr clarke
Only a man would film before tidying up - 🤦♂️ Thank you for the video, very interesting.
Nice video review. As others have said, it is EVE SHAM as in Evesham in Worcestershire. Check out my Broads Drone video on my channel. Thanks for sharing.
Nice video I was in your class two years ago
Hi do you remember me jemel aka jj
I think it's pronounced Ev-Sham
It's a narni engine
It is EEEVSHAM!
It is not an Nanni engine; it is a BMC 1.5 diesel with a Hydraulic Drive system.
Hello there Mr Clarke. I highly doubt you’ll remember me but It’s Erin Tyson, your student from Chesswood class 6AC here. 😂 (banana cow) Just thought I’d randomly say hi lol 👋🏼
I was in your year 6 class back in 2015
I've only taught one Erin but I admit that I don't recall an awful lot. I'm guessing you're in Year 10 or 11? I hope high school is going well and that you are well. Banana cow gave me a chuckle - of all the things to remember...
