Hi Steve2604,
Welcome aboard the NBN Forum. My advice would be to stick to the North Broads being as its your first time handling a Broads cruiser. There is plenty to see and do, and please take your time and take it all in.
If you have kids,you can go up to Wroxham moor at the yards before the bridge and take them see the Model Railway there. If no kids, its still worth a visit IMHO. Watch out for the Broadcaster 2016 paper http://html5.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/reader/production/default.aspx?pubname=Broadcaster&pubid=d55702b1-4b67-415b-ae69-0ad00f49e71f Take it nice and slow is my main advice, its not a race!
