The Great Adventure 2011 - Part 2

After an evenings rest and relaxation at the Berney Arms it will be time to head off up river in the direction of Reedham. Here we will be able to refuel, which wont be a cheap deal, after ninety miles of sea work Naughty-Cal will be ready for a good drink, and give her a well deserved wash down to rid her of the salt water. Here will also be a good place to stock up on provisions and take on a spot on lunch before heading off into the Norfolk countryside.

Reedham Staithe

The Southern Broads are far quieter than the Northern Broads due to the hire yards being less prolific. For this reason the majority of private boat owners don’t stray from the Southern Broads. We intend to do a whistle stop tour of the Southern Broads, visiting friends where possible before heading off North. The Southern Broads have long stretches of reed lined river where the wildlife is in abundance and you can cruise for hours without seeing another soul. Mixed in with this quiet scenery is the lively city of Norwich with all the facilities one expects from a thriving city.

Norwich Riverside

Another one of our favourite places to visit is the River Chet. A tiny twisting waterway with something new to see around every corner. The basin at the head of the navigation a fitting end to the river, surrounded by modern riverside property. The River Chet will probably mark the end of our few days on the Southern Broads and the start of our 2011 tour of the bustling Northern Broads.
