YC has just returned from an enjoyable week sailing on the fine craft Mimosa on the Broads. The weather varied from bracing (frost on the decks overnight), wet (Easter Monday had Norfolk's monthly rain in one day), to sunny (hurrah). Haunts visited included Geldeston, Thorpe, and Oooolton. Bird seen included numerous marsh harriers, avocets, and kingfishers. Beers drunk were Adnams, Greene King IPA, and Ferryman Bitter (to name but a few). After a week of training on beer, YC ran the Gisborough Moors race. This 12 miler takes in Captain Cook's Monument and Roseberry Topping. The unsettled weather continued - warm sunshine followed by a snow shower to end the race.
