Clarion Cruising - Day 1 on the Norfolk Broads - Stalham to Ludham Bridge

#boating #norfolkbroads #inlandwaterways
Welcome to day 1 of our four day break on Clarion, a four berth boat hired from Richardson's Boating Holidays in Stalham, Norfolk.
In this video you get to see us on the morning that we collect the boat, having travelled from Cornwall the night before and stayed in a hotel in Norwich.
Due to the limited day light and the amount of people on the river we decide that we will only cruise a short distance and moor at the BRoads Authority Mooring at Ludham Bridge.
This time my son Patrick is with us and he take the helm for a period of time. WE also enjoy a meal at the Dog Inn and celebrate Lisa's Graduation as an Emergency Care Assistant for the ambulance service.
Please like, subscribe and comment, we love to hear what you have to say about our travels.

[@WaggiesCruising]

Thank you for taking the time to comment, we did a 10 episode series on Broadland Orion, we loved it. I should have done some research before making some of the videos but I’ve been corrected on my errors 😂. Even though we now have our own boat we do intend to hire the odd boat every now and then just for old time sake. Hope that you have enjoyed some of our other vlogs and will continue to enjoy them. Let us know when you are up on the Broads as we may be around (we are here at the moment) Regards Lisa and Rich

[@generaladam8178]

The Broadland Books are brilliant, just waiting for the next one

[@WaggiesCruising]

I’ve just ordered the second one and I’m looking forward to it arriving

[@resimcom9826]

I love the fact Rich had to think where Pork came from

[@WaggiesCruising]

I’m glad you noticed yes my tiny brain head what I call a brain fart LOL

[@Denizefeeminoglu]

Keep it up you two are brilliant and so funny

[@WaggiesCruising]

Thank you so much 😁

[@yenigunyenioyun8420]

Richard, you looked knackered to start with.

[@WaggiesCruising]

That is correct I was exhausted, I just finished a run of very long shifts

[@rumeysacavusoglu4403]

You have done well studying Lisa, congratulation on your achievement

[@WaggiesCruising]

Thank you so much!

[@benitakipedeninannesiuzuny3289]

We have been looking forward to this, you two are just so funny together, Lisa rules the roost

[@WaggiesCruising]

I have to correct you, I’m in charge and I have Lisa’s permission to say so lol 😆

[@bjkkoray6540]

Really enjoyed it

[@WaggiesCruising]

Excellent thank you for taking the time to comment we really appreciate it

[@defnekayaalp4782]

What a nice pub, totally dog friendly

[@WaggiesCruising]

Yes very welcoming

[@EVPARAMEDIC]

That look from Lisa lol 🤣

[@WaggiesCruising]

Oh that look I know it so well

[@elif_cey7999]

The size of Patricks food, OMG

[@WaggiesCruising]

That’s exactly what I said and he nearly at all of it

[@fexriesedov9228]

We met you in the Dog Inn, lovely to meet you.

[@WaggiesCruising]

It was lovely to talk to you as well are you the couple that were seated behind us with the two lovely dogs? How much longer were you away and can you remind me of the places you said to visit along the coast? Thank you Rich and Lisa

[@grandmasculine]

The Dog Inn being a dog friendly pub, get that.

[@WaggiesCruising]

You are made to feel very welcome by everyone and as you say dogs are welcome

[@gs_yurdu1905]

You two are so funny

[@WaggiesCruising]

Believe you me it’s all natural and unscripted if we had to read what Waffle on about the flogs would never get made LOL

[@merve-hr5kl]

I love the look Lisa gives you when you asked her to drive, so funny

[@WaggiesCruising]

Did you notice how quick I changed the subject

[@chrisdean3362]

Hi guys, great video we will be in the broads in our yellow boat car in the next few weeks filming shame we wasn't there at the same time to hook up. We use to live in Charles Close Wroxham moved from there to Sandbanks and regretting it. Norfolk is so much better than Dorset especially the community. We are currently deciding whether to move back to Wroxham or down to Cornwall. Keep up the good work guys!

[@WaggiesCruising]

Hi Chris, funnily enough I moved from Brundall to Cornwall many years ago! I do miss Norfolk but Cornwall is just amazing, they are two completely different place, one is flat with wide open space that you can see for miles and the other is the exact opposite. We have been following your adventures in the Dutton and makes us both really miss ours. Given the choice Cornwall is the place to be, especially with the Dutton! Its a world apart. Drop me an email to [e-mail] and we can catch up if you are about! Thanks for commenting and watching our dribble lol ... Rich and Lisa

[@stephenabbot7905]

Morn rich&lisa,as you do,we have our own boat,moored at Stansted Abbots on the river Lee,please do keep up the good work with your Vlogs,we both enjoy your warm persona,s and happy easy to watch show,you sound like you're from near London ?,take care,we're watching your great show,Blessings

[@WaggiesCruising]

Thanks 👍, we do try to keep it light hearted and not to serious. We still have a few vlogs to release from our trip a few weeks ago but currently uploading a review for the Allpowers R600 unit.

[@gulhayat.sarkaya6022]

The poor chicken, Lisa looks so concerned.

[@WaggiesCruising]

We never did see what happened to it when we walked back we couldn’t see any evidence of an accident so I’m happy about that

[@SFRBRADANA-oo1he]

CONGRATULATIONS LISA on your graduation, so well done.

[@WaggiesCruising]

Thank you so much!!

[@tsa1070]

More Cruising please

[@WaggiesCruising]

We will try our best as I’ve mentioned in previous comments, however you can always enjoy the 360° flogs that we put out every other week

[@barsyaman3646]

Well done Lisa

[@WaggiesCruising]

Thank you, it was hard work but worth it

[@charli486]

Clean plates

[@WaggiesCruising]

Always

[@hackerakl2580]

Brilliant video

[@WaggiesCruising]

Thank you

[@kayaexe-zn8xo]

The checklist of system shut down before you get off the boat, sounds like pre-flight checks

[@WaggiesCruising]

Thats funny lol, true as it is you don't want to leave anything that will drain the battery switched on

[@alihanozkaya1518]

Write that book Lisa I am sure you have loads to tell about Richard.

[@WaggiesCruising]

Lisa has seriously contemplated the idea of writing a book, she apparently intend to entitle it! The knobs I have known, don’t ask me I have no idea. She assures me it is in no way rude and once you have read it you will understand why it is called what it is, Never Say Never I guess.

[@neillambton4065]

Another range of Broads based murder mysteries is the Chris Crowther collection.

[@WaggiesCruising]

Thanks Neil, Lisa has just ordered the next one in the series, she is really into it. Any idea of the titles of any of the Chris Crowther books?

[@neillambton4065]

@@WaggiesCruising Right, here they are the 2 i said below plus Murkey Waters, Still Waters, and Waterproof, and he has a new one callled Watershed. They retail at £6.95, so it won`t break the bank buying the whole collection.

[@neillambton4065]

@@WaggiesCruising i forgot Dead In The Water, but they may be about the canals?.

[@oldwanted7035]

Commercial Insurance Broker, you made the right move well done.

[@WaggiesCruising]

I miss what I did but find my new job far more rewarding

[@beyzaayan5784]

Two egss, chips and baked beans GO RICH

[@WaggiesCruising]

My high quality five star Michelin food

[@ynys_mon6928]

Irstead (holy grail) was empty! Mind you, I suppose that’s just too short a cruise from Stalham after picking up the boat.

[@WaggiesCruising]

I would have done that but as you say its a short cruise, Ideally we needed the boat for longer and have decided that 4 day cruising doesn't really work for us. Thank you for watching.

[@UmitcanAydn]

Pub got busy towards the end

[@WaggiesCruising]

Yes it did, in actual fact I was very surprised it wasn’t more busy from the word go with the amount of boats we’d seen on the river.

[@brawlstars7946]

Lisa looks like she likes this boat more than she did Broadland Orion

[@WaggiesCruising]

I think there was positives from both boats and negatives from both boats, we are hoping to Hire a newer boat next year which for incorporate everything that Lisa liked about this boat and Broadland Orion

[@emiryener2190]

Winnie has her own cupboard, I bet that's more than you have Rich

[@WaggiesCruising]

I know my place !!!!

[@moviestarplanet7098]

Its nice you show us what you do but will there be more cruising

[@WaggiesCruising]

Yes there will be more cruising and it’s always difficult to try and get the balance of talking and cruising correct. We have had comments on previous videos where people asked to do more cruising, then when we do this we get request to do more talking about the things that we are doing. To try and get around this I am filming in 360° video so that there is always the full journey and cruise that we do for you to see. These videos normally follow the week after the talkie video has been out, keep an eye out for our next one where we cruise from London to Wroxham

[@robloxkadn7950]

Enjoyed the video but more cruising would be good

[@WaggiesCruising]

Working on it!

[@marklawrence855]

Very different boat to that broom one

[@WaggiesCruising]

Very, in all honesty not my cup of tea but Lisa liked the fact you could sit in the well deck area.

[@3dwalpappers254]

It is not the normal boat shape inside, looks very square but comfortable

[@WaggiesCruising]

It’s not exactly a traditionally shaped deck area I fully agree

[@cokiechan1060]

A Doggie bag at the dog inn

[@WaggiesCruising]

They actually did you doggy bags which I found really amusing

[@shea4097]

Food at the Dog Inn is well priced

[@WaggiesCruising]

Yes we found this to be the fact

[@efeemir1735]

Dark Chocolate Bounty, really hard to get I can never find them in the shop

[@WaggiesCruising]

Yes, they just seem to be in very short supply not quite sure why

[@canercetin6207]

Come on Lisa name all 16 exemptions for Blue Light Users

[@WaggiesCruising]

Something to do with JPLAN lol

[@aboneolankulllanicilarates1683]

I wanted to join the Ambulance service in my country, you have to be clever

[@WaggiesCruising]

In the UK to be a paramedic you have to have a degree in paramedic science, this is normally a three-year degree and is exceptionally hard work. However you can join as a paramedic assistant which have a variety of names And the training for this dependent on what you do is between five weeks and 16 weeks. Your country might do something similar always worth investigating

[@fexriesedov9228]

I think you could have made Horning if you carried on cruising as you had daylight.

[@WaggiesCruising]

You are probably right, we just wanted to get moored up and not risk not being able to more when we got there. The problem with a four day cruise is that you are so limited as to how far you can go, I’m not sure if four day cruises are for us as it limits you so much

[@zakirabdullayev4437]

Have you managed to get the extension built on the patio !

[@WaggiesCruising]

I think that’s on Lisa’s to do list

[@eflinzeynep332]

The size of Patricks food, how did he manage

[@WaggiesCruising]

Slowly LOL

[@tugrahanbasgol9396]

Didn't you walk to the Dog Inn from Ludham last time? No getting lost then

[@WaggiesCruising]

We did when we used a Broadland Orion we walked across the field to get to the pub, not that we’re alcoholics we just wanted to enjoy some food LOL

[@busedolarslan5475]

What are baby swans called...... "Babies" LOL

[@WaggiesCruising]

Yes that was Lisa being funny, and she caught me out as normal

[@azadnebu9940]

Rich you can waffle

[@WaggiesCruising]

Have you only just noticed lol 😂

[@Abdurrahmanwy]

Richard Childish Never

[@WaggiesCruising]

Exactly I’m never immature and I’m always growing up more behaved LOL

[@kenanyomraloglu939]

Love the video but could do with more cruising

[@WaggiesCruising]

As the channel evolves and we get our own boat yes there will be.

[@sedatyanbasan641]

DId you get Lisa to drive the boat at anytime?

[@WaggiesCruising]

Yes Lisa did drive the boat but only for a short period of time, I think she just enjoyed the fact that she could sit in the world deck and watch the world go bye

[@arda3323]

Why did the chicken cross the road, go on then

[@WaggiesCruising]

I know Lisa was so concerned

[@kardesimileben5461]

Is there not a theme tune that RIch does not know

[@WaggiesCruising]

I’m a mindful of rubbish honestly

[@tetikci5721]

I bet you don't tell Lisa what you do not even at work I bet

[@WaggiesCruising]

TRue, I am not that brave

[@yelizbozkurt2246]

Not a brilliant Veggie option was there

[@WaggiesCruising]

No there wasn’t masses but we were lucky enough to find something that we enjoyed
