    Another peaceful and tranquil paddle/camp in the hallowed halls of Simon Adventures that I will watch many times over.

      My 1st bushcrafter to watch was Greg Ovens Rocky MT..Bushcraft, followed shortly by Bertram in the woods, Swedwoods, Corporal's Corner, Exploring with Marlo C who just got going not long ago & Simon, more or less in order of appearance.
      I'd be hard pressed to say who has better locations between Simon & Swedwoods, maybe followed closely by Greg Ovens & sometimes, Camping With Steve.
      Marlo's been getting some cool places out & around "Cow Hampshire" ( NH) recently so she's in the running!

      Hey Simon!
      Another cool adventure!
      I knew you were tall but man, that small bridge you went under around 12:09 - ish almost had you lose your hat!!
      Not much going on across the pond here in the US besides T rump winning for better or worse although, my area is going through Indian Summer part 3! Lol!
      I forget when In October, ( I think it was the 1st week?) but we had the 1st frost & then, 3 to almost 5 days of high 70 to 80 degree F days.
      It happened again before Halloween & on Halloween, it was @ least 70 degrees F outside.
      Another drop with frost & wouldn't you know it, it pushed close to 80 degrees here in the wacky world of Western Massachusetts as of today, 11/5/24.
      No idea how long this'll last but, trying to enjoy it!
      Hoping some of this warmth blew its way over towards you too!
      Happy up & coming Turkey or whatever you folks have for Thanksgiving?

    Simon, your video shows the joy of being outdoors in the "off season". I find my favourite evening walks are in the dead of winter, during a snowfall, when most others are squirreled away. The streets are hushed and and the snow makes everything look pleasant! The Norfolk Broads are a treasure! Thanks for the video!

    My last 2 trips to England, over 20 years ago, were both to Norfolk. Loved it there. Stayed with friends in Cromer, second trip was in a caravan on the beach at Bacton. Was at the Hickling Broads, because, at the time, my boss's last name was Hickling, so had to get a photo for her. I have to say, the morning shots of the sunrise in the mist, were breathtaking! Looking forward to part2!!

Wasn't it glorious weather for October. I only realised it was you after we had gone past. I've found a small dinghy is just great for the broads as you can then just camp aboard in many of the small dykes. Good stuff
