Beautiful start to our Caravanning year!
This was our first sortie this year, and not too far from our Essex home. The site was lovely, fairly empty and we were allowed to drive round the site and choose our pitch. Beautiful, large, hard standing pitches with grass and trees around - really pretty restful place to be! The woods were beautiful too.
The wardens are all new there this year and absolutely charming - nothing too much trouble for them, there was a temporary water leak in the nearest toilet block to us so the water had to be turned off just as I was emptying our toilet cartridge into the waste tank.......I was a bit worried that I wasn't able to make the area as shining clean as I would have liked but the warden had a laugh with me and pointed out that worse things could happen!!
The regular visits by the fish and chip van were welcome as there is nowhere to eat close by, and the food was cooked to order, hot and tasty!
A thoroughly enjoyable five day start to our year, the whole area is beautiful and great to walk through the woods to the Sandringham Estate - itself a stunningly beautiful walk. Would thoroughly recommend it and will definitely go there again! I would also advise treating yourself to a meal in the Sandringham visitors restaurant as the food looked very tempting.
Kings Lynn is a wonderful town to visit, and not too far - the museum there has the most impressive displays with beautiful artifacts very well presented and supported by interactive visual aids, some funding from the Lotteries Commission has helped this to become a very seriously interesting trip.
Another positive that came from our trip was that we watched a man on his own with a caravan the size of ours, using a mover to position his van, then later to reposition it to his car to tow away - we had been considering the purchase of one for a while and seeing how easy it made the procedure, we have now bought one and had it fitted today.......exciting times ahead!!!!
