From the Norfolk coast, Gorleston came to Broadhall Way for the first time in December 1984 to end our FA Vase hopes that season. It was quite a charming introduction, don’t you think? At the time, the Greens were coming off a spell of dominance in the Eastern Counties League; a competition they’ve been in for all but 10 years since joining it as a founder member in 1935.

Gorleston is in the same area as Great Yarmouth. So, start off on the A505 in the direction of Cambridge. Keep going until you join the A11, before merging onto the A14. After seven miles, get back onto the A11 towards Norwich.
It’s now a fair while until you next need to do anything (42.6 miles). Take the A47 east for Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft until you reach the outskirts of the former. By a large lake and before reaching the station, take the A12 across the River Yare and keep going until you come to a roundabout by a Toby Carvery.
Here, you need to take the third exit for Beaufort Way. Turn right after the next roundabout onto Carrel Road; taking the first left for Woodfarm Lane to complete your trip.
