How far did you go on the boat? Did you sleep on the boat nights or hotels? Do any locks?

Erm, Well i'm not sure how far we went in miles... but we managed to go from Wroxham to Norwich and back and we went into some broads...

We slept onboard the boat ;) I don't think there is any Locks on the Norfolk broads, we never found one :-\

For different height of water, instead of having a water fall you go though locks that drop you down. or up. Google it.

Hi James.

The Broads are pretty much flat all the way across. The whole Cambridge, Norfolk, Suffok area is very flat. Locks are not a feature, by and large.
