Boating on the Broads during the October Half Term isn't everyones cup of tea, but we love it!.
It's Cold, Wet and Rainy but still heaps of fun for all to be had - plenty of pubs, bridges and animals to enjoy, even the occasional train - so come with us on this boating adventure & see what ya think!

Nice vid, but that music!!!! Oh my God.

That monotonous music all the way through spoiled it.

The broads just can’t be beaten for relaxing magical times afloat

Nice video of my local area being appreciated by the right people. If it was Bridgestones you were hoping to get to in Potter Heigham you may have been served by my Daughter. My son also works at Thurne Lion. Small world.

I spent a wonderful week back in the 90s on the broads with my friends. It was a bit of a boozy affair - but even at that silly age - you couldn't help but fall in love with the scenery and the relaxing atmosphere of the area. Norwich is also one of the most beautiful cities in the UK. Crossing Bredon Water is the closet you get to taking out the sea us Landlubbers can enjoy without the fear of sea sickness. Great video

Great to see you made so much of your week on the broads and included the South Broads! Fab VLog. Hope to see you there again. All the best.

Thank you for a great video. It’s a beautiful area, unfortunately I never visited when I lived in London many years ago. I also watch Jonnytreehouse. The bridges are very low! All the best from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

It's best to go there out of season in my opinion, it gets very busy there in summer, moorings all taken up, impatient boaters, arguments over "who saw the mooring first" all of which can take the edge off what should be a very pleasant experience.

What a delightful holiday vlog. Thanks! Nooo! Don’t do the summer, it’s madly busy, and expensive if you are hiring. Just bring wellies with you. So far this year we’ve had trips in January and the last fortnight of March. The January trip had high water levels too. Out of season is wonderfully quiet. I’m currently having withdrawal symptoms after our March break, and can’t wait for our next trip in June. And no, we aren’t rolling in money to be able to afford so many hires, we have a share in a syndicate boat. 😊 As someone else has already commented, it would have been helpful if you had been warned to check the weed filters. An overheating engine is the last thing you need chugging up from Great Yarmouth.

You could have gone in Herbert Woods yard at Potter Heigham, hopefully that wouldn’t have been underwater. Hire boats can go into other hire companies yards!!

Thanks for the info.

You were there the same week we were aboard our boat Lightning. I was wading through 8" of water unplugging our 240v hook up, good fun, but not as much fun as 10 years ago, when i had to do the same in nearly 2ft of water. Good to see you had a great week, but one question, have you ever considered buying a share in one of the syndicate boats?. You will find that once you`ve paid out for the initial share price, the annual maintainance and running costs are cheaper than hiring. Then, if you decide you`ve had enough, sell your share. If you`d like to know more, please let me know.

It's the kind of thing you want to do once and best outside tourist season. Cheaper prices, less boats, easier moorings and you can get lucky with the weather sometimes. I can't believe you weren't taught daily checks including the filters.

@colincouch3416 Ай бұрын

The boat that we hired from Richardson's didn't need daily checks, in fact it didn't need any checks at all. I did ask at the boatyard, but apparently no checks are needed. Maybe Brinks Tempo is the same

This is awesome! I presume you hired it from Barnes?! Which boat was it?!

Hi James, that was Tempo 1, same as the Concerto with no middle stair and a bit more modern.

You could get 2 weeks at a 4 star all inclusive in Tenerife for the same price as a weeks boat rental on the Norfolk Broads. Which would you prefer?

@apj04 Ай бұрын

This was a lovely addition to our summer holiday and although it seems expensive if you add in dog sitting air port parking and restaurant etc I think it's not bad value. We love the pace of the week!

USELESS SO EASY TO EMPTY THE WATER FILTER BY HAND

@alanjkarting Ай бұрын

Hi Brian, no it's not, it required tools and after taking advise from the yards mechanic he told me its something that should not be attempted by us and it could sink the boat. They came out and fixed it and all was good.
