Lovely Thurne boat ride!

Well Monday was a lovely day, we had a nice change for a task today we had a lovely long boat trip up the Thurne and into Hickling to pick up some buoys,bit mucky but a great day out, and good fun with the boat handling bit, we started off at Ludham fieldbase, the day was a bit overcast and hardly any wind, we travelled through Potter Heigham under the old and new bridge, had a nose in all the little chalets by the side of the river on the way, went by Martham boats and turned off to Hickling, the Broad looked amazing dead calm, not one other single boat in sight, had the whole of Hickling to ourselves, i couldnt believe it, did all our work ,lifting muddy buoys into the boat and taking them to a little staithe and offloading , then another couple of trips and all done then a nice leisurely journey back to Ludham,

Today Thursday, had a lovely day out to Caistor St. Edmund, had a look around the ruins, walked along the huge ditch which was full of beautiful yellow flowers, then saw a Comma butterfly, then back to the car park and over the road to Chris Skinners, High Ash Farm , what a lovely place, loads of walks every where, rolling countryside, beautiful, then found the Boudica Way walk, that will probably be our next walk, looking forward to that.
