[@garethhope1]

Evening Andrew I was one of the bricklayers who built the Lady Julian Bridge (millennium bridge us workers knew it as) beautiful entrance to our fine city. Yet another great journey thank you.

[@divum]

Well, you did a great job building it!!! Thank you.

Bishopgate Bridge...the site that woke me up to history...the Kett Rebellion. Also Norwich Pub and Paddle with their Weston canoes were based there? What a lovely tour through the city..............

[@divum]

Thanks Laurie. Yes I did a video on Ketts Rebellion so I didn't want to repeat the info...hope to meet up soon

[@chrisbardell]

Nice vid, interesting to see some very familiar parts of the city from the perspective of being on the river.

[@divum]

Thanks Chris 😊

It looks a bit like Holland, especially the modern buildings and bridges in the beginning of the video. Many windows in buildings is typical Dutch! 😃You had a beautiful day to go out! Its nice to watch at coffee time 😉☕

[@divum]

Norwich and Norfolk have many historical links with the Netherlands, eg, Dutch weavers. Many old buildings have the Dutch gables. Up until medieval times, It was easier to get to Holland than London! Thanks for your support 🛶👍🏻🇳🇱

Although our cycle lanes are monumentally rubbish.

[@divum]

@@tompitchercooke7057 Quite right! Holland leads the way for how that should be done

[@Biking360]

That is a fantastic viewpoint of Norwich. There is something so different about seeing a place for the water. I hope Spring is with your al soon. Take care.

[@divum]

Thanks Jay. It's certainly avoids the city traffic...but finding parking can be a bind😄🛶

[@Tony-ug1mv]

Excellent video Andrew, myself & my Son kayaked that route a couple of years ago. We were both using basic sit on top kayaks, talk about a work out 🤣

[@divum]

Brilliant. I hope it bought back good memories (less the painful muscles!!!)

Hi Andrew, do you have any plans for more bike packing/wild camping vids for this year? I really enjoy watching those. The new Rebellion Way maybe? I recently did Wherryman’s Way, on to Marriott's Way for me next✌️

[@divum]

Thanks for the message. Yes I'm hoping my next video will be out on the bike. Next couple of weeks 🤞

[@adriansmith38]

Did you do any training for the Kayak? Thinking about capsize etc.?

[@divum]

Yes. I learned to kayak in my teens and did a few training courses. I've done escape drills, rescues, etc, and can do a basic roll.

[@norfolkbadgerst]

Where did you launch from? I don't recognise that wall. Is it Thorpe St Andrew end?

[@divum]

It on the Yarmouth Road, Thorpe St. Andrew, A1242. Grid ref TG 25949 08405 Thanks
