Norfolk - Boats, Trains & Seaside with Steve & Michaela

 Norfolk - Boats, Trains & Seaside 


We all got kitted out in our sailing gear and boarded the Bass boats – a classic ten man sailing boat. We sailed across Barton broad - the same place that Lord Nelson had learned to sail as a boy. We all took a turn to sheet in the sails and also to take the tiller to steer the boat.




Another day we went on the canoes to explore the river and all the enchanting little bays and inlets. After a brief lesson on how to use the canoes, we were off! We saw much wildlife along the way including kingfishers, marsh harriers and cormorants.




 We boarded a steam train at Holt and rode along the beautiful coastline to Sheringham where we got off and visited the street market and gift shops. We enjoyed a lovely lunch here before taking the steam train back and heading off to Cromer for the festival that was being held and the streets were full of entertainment! 




 We visited Great Yarmouth where we spent a lovely day out. We shopped for gifts and souvenirs and walked along the promenade. We visited the famous pier and had a real old fashioned English seaside day out.




 Today was a very special day as we were going out on the Nancy B. We planned to spend the whole day exploring the broads on this magnificent 35ft motor cruiser. Each person was given the opportunity at the helm of Nancy B and we awarded with certificates for driving her.
