Autumn in UK

The rough plan is, a week in Norfolk, a visit to Windsor, to see Gary, Susana, Gabriel and Salma, followed by a week (possibly) in Devizes. We have the first week booked, before we leave (difficult to be spontaneous in UK, particularly in these Covid times).

What should have been an approximately 260 mile journey, turns into a 300 mile slog. A1(M) closed, just south of Doncaster, makes for a massive detour, via the M1. Plus, a thunderstorm and flooding on the A11.

Traffic is moving most of the time, but, incredibly busy, even at 08:30 on a Sunday morning. Wetherby Services are so busy that all but one Caravan/Motorhome parking space is occupied!

Fortunately, Gales Cruisers CL, Chedgrave,  looks promising, so, once we arrive and get set up, the tribulations of the journey are forgotten.

A little explore around the immediate area, and a walk into the adjacent small town of Loddon, followed by a delayed Sunday Lunch, courtesy of Kathleen's culinary skills.

Monday, 20th September 2021.


Cloudy but mild start to the day, it is 16C, with forecast of 18C for today.

A few boats moving on the river.

Totally quiet, amazingly, no barking dogs!

We eventually pay (I did ask the chap who gave us the "welcome tour" yesterday, but, his answer was "no rush". £18/night, including EHU, not bad, in my opinion.


We spend the day exploring, on foot, to get orientated, check out where the pubs, eating places, shops, and churches are.

It all looks very promising, tomorrow, will be cycling, weather permitting.
