If you're looking for a kayak or canoe route into Norwich, this is the video for you!
It's a 12km route out and back, starting from a launch point in Thorpe St. Andrews. There is plenty of parking.
The route can go either north or south as you navigate around the island at Thorpe St. Andrew.
The rest of the route is self explanatory in the video.
I welcome any comments or questions.

It was unseasonably warm and bright. Thanks
It looks a bit like Holland, especially the modern buildings and bridges in the beginning of the video. Many windows in buildings is typical Dutch! 😃You had a beautiful day to go out! Its nice to watch at coffee time 😉☕

Norwich and Norfolk have many historical links with the Netherlands, eg, Dutch weavers. Many old buildings have the Dutch gables. Up until medieval times, It was easier to get to Holland than London! Thanks for your support 🛶👍🏻🇳🇱

Bishopgate Bridge...the site that woke me up to history...the Kett Rebellion. Also Norwich Pub and Paddle with their Weston canoes were based there? What a lovely tour through the city..............

Thanks Laurie. Yes I did a video on Ketts Rebellion so I didn't want to repeat the info...hope to meet up soon
Hi Andrew, do you have any plans for more bike packing/wild camping vids for this year? I really enjoy watching those. The new Rebellion Way maybe? I recently did Wherryman’s Way, on to Marriott's Way for me next✌️

That is a fantastic viewpoint of Norwich. There is something so different about seeing a place for the water. I hope Spring is with your al soon. Take care.

Thanks Jay. It's certainly avoids the city traffic...but finding parking can be a bind😄🛶
Did you do any training for the Kayak? Thinking about capsize etc.?
@divum

Yes. I learned to kayak in my teens and did a few training courses. I've done escape drills, rescues, etc, and can do a basic roll.
Where did you launch from? I don't recognise that wall. Is it Thorpe St Andrew end?
