Event Description October 31 2011 - Meeting Thorpe Green, Norwich, 6.30pm
Are you brave enough to join us and The Canoe Man on his annual paddle through the silent, dark waters of Norwich on the scariest night of the year?
Includes transport and mulled wine. We will all meet up at Thorpe Green where we will be whisked away by mini bus to our start at Friar’s Green, we will then Canoe back.
The Broads National Park has so much beauty to offer and yet so very few of us ever get to see a fraction of it...Why? Because there are vast areas within the Broads that are inaccessible to motor powered boats – because of shallow water, nature reserves or just narrow ‘tucked away channels’. These ‘backwaters’ are havens for wildlife and even in mid summer, when the broads are at their busiest, you can always find a peaceful retreat by Canoe!
Canoeing allows near silent exploration of all, but the most miniscule of the Broads Park waterways.
You can paddle down miles of quiet, undisturbed tributaries, dykes and streams often never seeing another soul but often seeing some of the Broads best kept secrets - the Kingfishers, Bitterns and even the elusive Otter. These secretive and wonderful creatures of the Broads National Park may, very occasionally, be seen from your broads cruiser but are far more frequently spotted from a canoe!
To get out Canoeing in the Broads National Park couldn’t be easier; there is mile upon mile of beautiful meandering waterways to be explored. The Canoe Man will take you on a guided adventure, with a fully qualified Canoe Guide, into some of the broads most secret and quiet places. Our guide will show you lots of local wildlife as well as informing you of other points of interest en route.
Price £15.00 for Members, £25.00 for Guests - Numbers are limited, so get in fast!
