In this video I head back to the Norfolk Broads with Zed from Zed Outdoors for a bushcraft overnight hammock camp by Canadian canoe. We head off along the River Bure, loaded up with gear in search of a suitable quiet bit of woodland to set up camp, passing Mills, stunning historical stately homes, ancient bridges and lots of ducks and swans.
Arriving later than expected, we set up our hammocks and tarps and begin to gather and process enough firewood for our campfire. A well earned cuppa and then we get on with preparing dinner. Its the 25th January, Burns Night, and to commemorate the famous Scottish poet Rabbie Burns, a feast of Haggis, Neeps and Tatties is on the menu. The evening is spent catching up and enjoying the campfire beefier a restful night swinging in our hammocks below the starry Norfolk skies.
Morning brings sunshine and birdsong, coffee and scramble eggs on toast, before packing away and heading back down the river.
I’d like to say a huge thank you to Silverbirch canoes for lending us the gorgeous boat used in this video, a lightweight Duralight Broadland 15 - a perfect canoe tripping canoe that handles beautifully on the water. Silverbirch are a Norfolk based canoe company, all their boats (including a range of full whitewater spec canoes and Tortega sit on top kayaks) are designed, developed and manufactured in Norfolk, so it seemed fitting to use one of their canoes on this Norfolk trip.
I’d also like to thank my buddy Zed for coming up to share the weekend on the water and amongst the trees. Great paddle, great food, lots of laughs and great company! Zed has also filmed a video of the trip, so please do pop over to his channel and have a watch.
