Mild, but, grey and cloudy, rains started at 10:00. Only showers, according to the forecast.
Looks as if the forecast is wrong (what a surprise), raining steadily all day.

Bright sunny day, but, not too hot (21C).
Kathleen is game for a cycle ride, since we both sat about doing absolutely nothing, yesterday.
I have a little plan, Knebworth is within cycling distance, and, that will give me the "K" for my Cyclechat Towns and Villages Challenge.
We cycle to Knebworth, stop for lunch, then cycle back, just under 20 miles, mostly on Cycle Paths.
I know the map says 17.96, that is due to User/Garmin malfunction, a small amount missed at beginning of ride, corrected from Kathleen Runkeeper recording.
There is slight dissent in the ranks, but, nothing major.

The day starts dull and cloudy, then, it rains. Fortunately I had picked most stuff away yesterday, so, did not get too wet.
Unfortunately, the rain follows us to Norfolk, and, it starts raining en-route, then, again, more steadily mid-afternoon.
117 Miles to Norfolk Broads CAMC Site, Ludham, NR29 5NY (N52.70036 E1.51371), a mostly "cross country" route, very little motorway, A505 and A11 for most of the way.
Our fancy new Sat-Nav (Garmin Camper 780), has a facility to tell you, miles in advance, of any traffic hold ups. Very clever. But, it doesn't actually achieve much, if there is no way to avoid the delay, it just makes you annoyed earlier.
There are massive hold ups on the A11, for little or no evidence of any actual work happening, similarly, the A47, except there, there is absolutely no sign of work, just a big hold up.
The site is almost full, first impressions favourable, clean, tidy and quiet.
Agree about the advance warning scenario. During the birth of our only child, I was able to give Liz advance notice of yet another contraction which, needless to say, she has not let me forget! Your further reports of camper sat nav benefits are welcomed. In Germany, whilst there were lots of roadworks, there was always (as I recall), appeared to be frantic work going on.
