To Norfolk Broads CAMC Site (N52.70036 E1.51371)

 Tuesday, 19th April 2022

A "spring getaway" after Easter, hopefully, the crowds will have gone home.


Usual pre-departure garden tidying.

I doubt Claire will need to cut the lawn, unless the temperatures rise significantly, of course, we are hoping for nice warm weather, sorry Claire, you may be "lucky" and get cold weather in Newcastle, while we enjoy warmth in Norfolk.

We enjoyed this site, last time we were here (June 2021), but, it is was not a pleasant journey last time, and, it wasn't a good journey this time, massive traffic jam at Sutton Bridge, on A17 (Bridge repairs), and, then, another hold up, accident on A47. 


Having left home at 09:00, we arrive 263 miles later at 15:30.

The good news is, dry and sunny, but, not too warm, at 15C, so, ideal travelling weather.

First opportunity to "test" the new 3 Router (ZTE MF286D, for the geeks).

It does work better (ie faster and better signal) than the "old" Huawei Router. Just have to get it to work on 12v now and all will be well.

A dry and sunny start to the day, a cool 9C, but, warming to 14C by 11:00.


A cycling day, we do a 20 mile circuit, making it up as we (well, I) go along. 

The CAMC Site is next to Ludham Bridge, we cycle into Ludham, mostly via a quiet back road, then, to Catfield and Stalham, before heading for Potter Heigham via Hinkling Broad, where we stop for a picnic lunch.

It is almost all on quiet country lanes, just a couple of major roads to cross, but, nothing scary.

We even manage to average just over ten miles per hour, which is slightly faster than our usual nine miles per hour. It must be the new, more expensive padded knickers I bought for Kathleen, doing their job.














In the afternoon, it is warm enough to sit outside, enjoying the sunshine.
