Original 8mm cine film of a family holiday on the Norfolk Broads in 1979. Two boats were hired together by the family - Gulf Steam 5 and Gulf Stream 6 from Southgates boatyard at Horning. The film starts with their departure from home - the car registration suggests that they may have come from the Warrington area. There is a brief stop at some very 60s looking motorway services en route! Once on the BRoads, the family head to Yarmouth and cross Breydon Water visiting St Olaves, Oulton Broad, Beccles and Reedham Ferry before heading back to the northern rivers.
