A Trip By Boat


A man and a boy appear to have the little motor boat to themselves and we're shown all the pleasures of a Norfolk Broads trip - the birds, the sparkling water and wide skies, people fishing and manoeuvring their boats. The pair stop to eat their picnic and visit the Nelson Head at Horsey for a couple of pints before returning to the boatyard at Hickling. Max Jenkins filmed this lovely record of a relaxing day with his young son and his film-making friend.
