March 13, 2024,Whitlingham Great Broad loop — The Broads

Muddy/flooded in parts- wrong shoes so just took shoes n socks off to get through flooded part 💪. Lovely spot and great cafe with friendly staff at the end. As always with Norfolk, people very respectful of dogs on leads rule so no dramas for our reactive pair 🐕🐕
