On the Broads at last. We enter via Oulton Broad and continue into miles of unspoilt reed lined rivers. Typical Broadland scenery
It isnt lon before we encounter the first of many old wooden sailing vessels along the way. These boats are still avaliable for hire.
One problem we found along the way is that the hire boats were able to sustain a much slower controlled speed than we could. Here we have a typical scene where we have caught up a slower hire boat on the River Ant with little chance to overtake.
The upper reaches of this particular river close in to create narrow tree lined dykes branching off and leading to many great tucked away moorings.
Our destination for today. Neatishead Staithe. A delightful tucked away mooring close to the hub of the village and providing excellent recycling facilities, a rarity waterside and a much needed water supply tap.
