Yep. Solarman Rik is in a prime location. Easy to access with a 'van and not far from the coast. Lovely surrounding area with an abundance of shops. Happy wife, happy life.

we do have a 37 ft mobile on site, Briggie will testify, and we can accommodate a very large tent or even bigger, Rick

Now, on the Norfolk Broads, where we visit a lot, there is a broad called Salhouse Broad, and they rent out "Camping Pods" for campers without a tent.
http://www.salhousebroad.org.uk/camping.html Now, Rick, you have the facilities to knock a few of those up... £20 per night... Rustic

Seems they have to book them up. Well it is Norfolk after all... However on our local Cannock Chase, the "dog kennels" usually have 4 wheels, with steamed up windows and an interior light on... errrmmm so I'm told...

What's the plan then rick?
Is there a particular weekend your thinking of for us members? The only holiday I have had all year is my 2 days off roading in Wales. Need a break. |

What!! Too cold for camping no such thing is there? Often woke up with frost on the tent. Nice warm sleeping bags and hot drinks no problem.
