Members of a Redbridge social group had a week of fun messing about in boats in a tourof the Norfolk Broads earlier this month. In two boats, Redbridge 18 Plus members travelled down the waterways from Potter Heigham, through Great Yarmouth and on to the ancient city of Norwich. Sights on the way included the ruins of Burgh Castle and St Benet's Abbey, which was destroyed during Henry VIIIs Dissolution of the Monasteries. A range of local wildlife, including herons and kingfishers, could be seen and the group toured "picturesque villages' and towns. Local tipples were also sampled at Woodforde's brewery, which produces Norfolk ale. Member Elliot Barclay said: "It was an excellent holiday, very relaxing and everyone from the most experienced to the newcomers had a try at the helm to steer the boat and help with the moorings when we stopped."
