Now back and a truly wonderful time canoeing the northern Broads (Ant, Barton Broad, a bit of the Bure?)...so wonderful we stayed an extra day!
Met some fabulous people, saw some beautiful places that would be missed without a canoe, such as Wood End staithe on Barton Broad......and amongst the otters and kingfishers, and buzzards and harrier (1)....we saw near Barton Turf staithe .......a bittern........... as it rose up adjacent to the canoe ....
Weather fine, cold one night in particular, windy and wet one day..........tent and sleeping bags(the Solace and awning again) perfect. Can't wait to go again
We "glamped" it a bit, wasn't bushcrafty, save the firestand and cutting wood up with my axe! but am going to repeat as often as poss., using the campsite( 2-3 tents in ACRES!) at Dilham as a base to day paddle the Broads /rivers/meres, that can be conveniently reached from it........then re locate further south perhaps? So, so much to explore on the water there..........
(If I've inserted too many pictures, perhaps the moderators would be so good as to delete as required, sorry.....)
