    Thanks for the memories, had a couple of boating holidays on the Broads over 20 years ago. They were wonderful. Love the big sky's of the Broads and Lincolnshire. Hope to be returning there in our motorhome some time soon.

    One of the best videos about the Norfolk Broads I have watched. I have been to the broads every year since 1975. Now I will live the dream and move there in a couple of months . CAN'T WAIT.

    Sorry about Mr. Edwards Paul I'm sure he was a good friend. Great video, great music is it Rachael? what a quiet wonderful place. Hi daffy!!!! Windmills are so awesome there, boats and nature and the one who created it. God bless.

    Another wonderful film from 'prsw100', beautifully filmed and very well edited. This film shows the Norfolk Broads as I know and love it, too. The informed commentary, shows the film maker cares deeply, about this beautiful area. And, what a lovely tribute to the late and sadly missed Eric Edwards MBE. May you continue visiting the beautiful Norfolk Broads for a long time to come (and don't forget your camera!)...

    Thank you for letting me know about this video. I am glued to it. Regrettably we only had one family holiday on the Broads, on Tidecrest 2 from Stalham when I was very young. Since that time, the majority of our boating holidays were on the canal, River Thames and River Great Ouse.

    One word... CAPTIVATING . Some wonderful shots, oundtracks and narration filled with lots of infirmation. And what a great gesture/tribut to Eric. Oh and the Ringo star comment had me chuckling lol. I'm so looking forward to my week on the Broads 30th June 2019... 15 days to go :) .... cheer buddy.

    I have been on the Broads a few times,once with a girl from Connahs Quay.i was with her sister and brother in law.
    Next time was with a girl who was my wife . We were on a boat called "Tavell.".I loved all of my holidays on the Broads. Around 1975.

    Wonderful video! I've been going to the Broads since I was two, and now I'm 39 and take my own friends and family. This is the best representation of the broads, and I really appreciated everything you put in and all the narration. Just perfect! Thanks

    I wish I could live in Horning... such a dreamy magical place... obviously the people that hate it there would prefer night clubs , neon lights and lots of places to go shopping.
    I really appreciate all the hard work that goes into making your vids... I know they can be time-consuming .

    Beautiful video. Your commentary is awesome. I wonder what you would think of Lough Erne and River Shannon. These two are now connected by sixteen locks and operated by smart card, making them, I'm told, the longest navigable inland water way in Europe.

    Loved it! We first discovered the Broads while holidaying in Lowestoft at a friend's house. Never taken a boat out - my wife sadly isn't a "boaty" person, but we enjoyed day cruises from Oulton Broad, and on the steam boat from Yarmouth. This part of the world has everything for a really memorable holiday, whatever your tastes.

    After viewing this great video, I became curios about the effects of future rising sea levels on this area. I grew up sailing here with my parents in the 50's and 60's. I was astonished to see how much of this beautiful part of the country (along with all those expensive homes) would disappear. One projection has Norwich as a potential oceanfront site in the future.

    @TheMowjo 9 років тому +2

    Great Narration! and love the info you give as well, I've had a boat on the Broads for the last thirty years and living local for the last ten years it gets plenty of use, we are based in Stalham on the Ant, for me one of the most beautiful parts of the Broads, I can honestly say I've never had two trips the same, even different times of the day will bring different things like Otters at dusk and dawn or Kingfishers, my advice to any holiday maker is slow down and take the time to see the real Broads it really is a magical place,,,

    • @prsw100
      @prsw100  9 років тому

      TheMowjo Many thanks for your comments. I just shot theBroads in 4K and looking for quotes, may I quote you? Starting " I can honestly say..." Who shall I say said it?

    • @TheMowjo
      @TheMowjo 9 років тому

      prsw100 Paul! please feel free, my name is Frank but most people just call me Mow , I just found out your a member of the NBF forum so I'm surprised I never came across your videos before, as you know yourself just a shift in the light or a few clouds and there's a whole different atmosphere, I think the bit of Barton Broad shows that well, personaly I never stay on Barton Broad for some reason I feel very uneasy there, plus I've had a few odd experiances there,

    • @prsw100
      @prsw100  9 років тому

      I'll let you see the preview. It will be a while though, I have about 10 videos to edit first. The footage I shot was better than ever! Paul

    • @TheMowjo
      @TheMowjo 9 років тому

      prsw100 I look forward to it Paul! did you get lost?? I just noticed that on your trip from Oulton to Dilham you have a map of Poland, for a minute I thought you went Port at Breydon, just a little add on for anyone visiting Oulton Broad during the summer, every Thursday evening they have Powerboat racing, I think it runs from April until September, it's free but a small admission charge may apply to see all the action close up.

    • @prsw100
      @prsw100  9 років тому

      TheMowjo Very observant, but the map of Poland and Germany was the back cover of the book Maus, that Nate was reading! See 4:40, the quiet read.

    Excellent video, I really enjoyed it. I would love to see a video of the yachts I used to go on in the 70s and 80s which are now mainly in private hands. I caught the odd glimpse of what could have been some on this video. Some of the wooden yachts I went on were Fair Lady, Find Lady, Perfect Lady, Daffodil, Breezy Dawn, Leading Lady. Keep the videos coming.

    • @prsw100
      @prsw100  9 років тому

      +goodchappy I see the occasional old sailing boat, I believe in those days Martham was the main centre. I'll look and see if I shot any in recent times. I talked to a man in Horning who had a similar boat and went aboard, I think I filmed it but I'm not sure I included it. That would be the Spring's Tale video. I'll check.

    Definitely a low crime area.. with the exception of a weekend in Norfolk where pubs and restaurants had to close their doors because of Thieves and violence but it seems that was out of the norm .
    So someone stole $3,000 of donations from the Lifesaver station but again it appears that this was a real anomaly.
    The fact that one newspaper clipping says a bicycle was stolen tells me that is more likely the type of crime they normally have .
