Canal Boat Leisure Trips with Leo & Jane

Image
  Canal Boat Leisure Trips  The holiday began with cheerful anticipation as everyone gathered for lunch, meeting one another for the first time and quickly falling into easy conversation filled with laughter and shared memories of past JollyDays trips.  Perfect sunshine welcomed the group’s first canal adventure. After breakfast, they boarded their boat,  Badger , and set off along tranquil waterways lined with willows, fields, and wildlife. Ducks, swans, cygnets, and swooping swallows accompanied them as they glided beneath bridges, paused for photographs, and enjoyed relaxed conversation.  With steady hands and a confident smile, the boat was expertly steered along the canal, gliding smoothly beneath bridges and past peaceful countryside as if guided by a seasoned skipper.

Norfolk - Boats, Trains & Seaside with Leo & Ayshea

Image
  Norfolk - Boats, Trains & Seaside It was off to Great Yarmouth beach , where sunshine, sea air, and a group photo by the waves captured the spirit of the trip. The sun was shining as we headed for our first activity  sailing on the Broads . With guidance from Steve and his team, we took to the water, many for the first time, taking turns at the tiller and proudly keeping our course.  After lunch, the fun continued with  canoeing , paddling along the waterways amid laughter, friendly races, and wildlife spotting.  It was back to Great Yarmouth to  the historic Hippodrome , Britain’s last surviving purpose-built circus building. The circus and water show was nothing short of spectacular—jugglers, fire, strongmen, and the jaw-dropping finale of motorbikes racing inside a steel globe left us speechless. Meeting one of the riders afterward was the perfect finishing touch, followed by classic seaside fish and chips.  Our bowling games were full of frie...
