WIndblown weekend
Stayed here over the May bank holiday weekend. Advisable not to rely on sat nav - it will take you up the lane just beyond the lay by you need to enter through. It leads to the same destination - but you would have a sharp turn left then an even sharper turn right to get to the gate leading to the CL field. The CAMC app gives clear instructions on directions BUT just be aware - if you bring up the map on the CAMC app - Google maps brings up an address just outside Doncaster - so don't rely on the map!! Tom texts you the combination to the padlocked gate on the day of your arrival. For whatever reason the text didn't come up on my phone until it was too late - but no problem - Trev rang up his mobile and down Tom came to let us in. There were no "mod cons" on the site - but that didn't matter - it had the basics required. The sea was just visible on the horizon - and there was plenty of open space in which to pitch your outfit. The site had a private gate through which to pass to walk up to the beach - a 100m or so walk. The weekend was certainly a windy one - 45mph+ winds - but that didn't stop us enjoying our weekend - we even managed a very wind blown and extremely wet BBQ. We walked along the - very blustery - sea front on our first day - to the village of Walcott - where we found a very well stocked village store/post office. Although not a great deal to see in the local area, the Old Vicarage Gardens at East Ruston and Happisburgh Lighthouse are both worth a visit - and within easy cycling distance of the CL. There are lots of walks in the local area, but being cyclists we took to the roads and found lots of little country lanes to cycle down (some national cycle route 30). If you want a peaceful, relaxing few days away, then this CL is ideal.
