ARDUOUS TRAINING, EASTER 1971Five Hustler sailing cruisers left Ludham boatyard soon after midday on Saturday 27th March,captained by Messrs . Baumohl, Moss, Norton, Booty and Eliot-Hunter. The weather was reasonableand the strong breeze gave us ample opportunities to practise our handling of the boats .The night was spent at Ludham Bridge .Waking up to find our decks covered with a thin layer of ice, we were initially discouraged, andstrident opinions were passed regarding the value of sailing! However, the sun brightened ourhopes and we were soon underway up the long, narrow and winding river . We spent the remainderof the day sailing on Barton Broad . On the return journey progress proved to be slow because ofthe prevailing wind, and we had to tack our way back to Thurne Dyke where we spent the third night .On Hickling Broad the following day's sailing was very enjoyable and successful, apart fromone navigational error which landed one boat, in the charge of one notable admiral, on a mudbank . After humorous comments from the other crews, we slowly made our way up to HorseyMere and then back to Martham, where we spent the night . We made little progress the followingday, but were encouraged by the diving display of the Chemistry department . On the last day therewas a strong wind which gave us our best day's sailing .Unfortunately it had to end, but with us all agreeing that we had spent an enjoyable week, notlacking in amusement .Marcus EllisThe Men's and Boy's Wear SpecialistsTAILORING CLOTHING OUTFITTING & FOOTWEAROfficial Suppliers ofWymondham College Uniforms for King's Lynnand districtGEORGE GODDARDLTDHIGH STREET, KING'S LYNN Telephone 2382MARKET PLACE, SWAFFHAM Telephone 21467
