Norfolk Broads with Colin & Roni

Our week on the Norfolk Broads was a new experience for many of our holiday makers, some of whom had not even been out in a boat before.
Even though the weather wasn't the best for the time of year it did stay dry for most of the week and we experienced many trips out both on the water and into the countryside. We also ventured into Great Yarmouth on three occasions for fun packed evenings, some of the entertainment having not previously been attended by any of us before.
We started the week going out onto the Broads in a sail boat and most of us took a turn at both controlling the tiller and also handling the rigging. Everyone did a good job and all enjoyed the experience. During the week we also had a days cruise around the Broads, stopping for lunch at a riverside pub, and everyone took to the paddles when we went out rowing.
Our trip out on a steam train was also enjoyed by everyone and somehow we also managed to fit in a stroll in the countryside to find our local Boardwalk and a trip to the shops for the customary presents and souvenirs.
We went out every night and enjoyed Greyhound racing, Stock Car Banger racing another a very competitive night 10 pin bowling, which was briefly interrupted by a great firework display for the end of the season in Yarmouth and a couple of country pub diners.
By the end of the week everyone had had a thoroughly good time and enjoyed all the activities that we managed to squeeze in.
