Norfolk Broads Adventure: Stunning Hired Boat Journey

#NorfolkBroadsBoatHire, #BoatTripNorfolkBroads, #ExploringNorfolk
Welcome to my channel: / stanshappyhour
For this film, we thought we'd try a week on a different kind of boat - a sleek cruiser on the Norfol Broads. And it was amazing.
I used to be an 80s music popstar, now I'm a waterways enthusiast, with a thing for canal boats, canal boat holidays, canal walks, river walks and discovering the gorgeous English countryside.
Thirty years ago, I was in the band The Housemartins, with my talented friends Paul Heaton, Norman Cook (aka Fatboy Slim) and Hugh Whittaker. We had chart success with songs like Happy Hour, Caravan of Love, Build and Me And The Farmer.
But that was then. These days, my happy hours consist of family time - and making films about the UK's amazing waterways. Either on foot or at the tiller of a narrowboat. I love canals, canal boats and canal boat holidays, making films about my time on or near the water. I also love to take English countryside walks alongside rivers and canals.
Usually with my havanese puppy Rufus or my son's dog Foggy. I talk sometimes, Rufus and Foggy don't. But we always have fun and we'd love you to join us - just hit the SUBSCRIBE button (please!)

    Great video of a relaxing trip. Are you sure that was Rockland St. Mary? It looked very much like Upton... If so make sure to use public mooring at end on the left, as all those on the right as you enter are private mooring. It's a lovely spot to stay.

    Lovely vlog Stan and scenery from what has been my home for last 16 years. Having my OAP bus pass means i get to travel all over and love the areas of Loddon and Beccles. Plenty of subjects for my camera all over the Norfolk County and neighbouring areas. Look forward to more of your travels and adventures.

    Great to see you back Stan and back on the water. You’ve been missed big time. The broads are lovely. Hopefully you’ll come down to the fens sometime.

    Glad you loved the Broads, they are magical. Lovely looking video, but very confusing the way video clips from different parts of the Broads north and south were pieced together. Given the character of the northern and southern broads are so different, you missed an opportunity to distinguish between them. By the way you weren’t approaching Rockland Broad @ 10.25, you were going up Upton Dyke (northern broads). Then the next bit you jumped back to Reedham (southern broads). Good advice about the low bridges and tides.

    Thanks for the feedback. I’m sure you’re right about Upton, it was hard to work out where we’d been when it came to editing the video. Sorry about the clip confusion. Our videos aren’t usually a chronological linear record of our trips - mainly because Mike is really bad at remembering which clips relate to which place 😂. But we hope we gave a good overall account of what is a beautiful place.
