Aldeburgh - and home

We spent two nights in Aldeburgh, the final night we had a nice meal in The Lighthouse.

On getting home, we found that a bottle of low alcohol Ghost Ship had exploded as it froze - nice to know the fridge works!

The van got booked in for an MOT and a visit for a new dashboard in November.

Today we arrived at Church Farm in Aldeburgh.

Went for the Fish and Chips and tried some tonic that one of us likes very much!

11th and 12th August Blickling Hall

We went to stay in the temporary campsite at the National Trust Blicking Hall - where they had a Proms Night.

Sadly, the Spitfire (mechanical failure) and Fireworks (too dry) were cancelled, but we saw a good display by AeroSPARX. We had a water failure in the van. There was coffee, tea, and sandwiches served for us Campers in the morning!

Home again from Cromer

We left at 1030, drove around the new Norwich ring road to have a look at the Camping shop again, and then home. On the way past Norwich airport we passed the museum ...

Cromer for the last time ...

Sandringham and Fish and Chips

Today we went to have a look around Sandringham followed by a meal in our friends awning.

On the second day we went to  Sheringham, back to the site for a swim, and then for some Fish and Chips at A1 in Cromer with a bus back - we've booked again for next year!

Sheringham Beer Festival

Today we took the bus to Sheringham, had a ride on the train, and then a small visit to the Beer Festival! Then back to the van for a BBQ ....

Two days in Cromer and Sheringham

Yesterday we went into Cromer to have breakfast and do a little shopping. We then went to see our friends Bob and Anne in Sheringham for tea, gin tasting and a BBQ.

Nice to have Stokes Brown Sauce for Breakfast!

Today we went onto Cromer - Helen went to the End of the Pier show - Charles played with Bod at the Cromer Ukulele strummers - and then we had Curry at the Masala Curry Restaurant!

Lunch at The Crabpot - very nice!

Some Cromer Strummers!

Cromer Seacroft

Today we drove up to Cromer - up the new Norwich bypass via the A47 and Norwich airport. Seemed a lot quicker..

We stopped off at Norwich camping to pick up some bargains - in the evening watched the football (England losing) and had a BBQ.

Clumber Park to Home

Lovely sunny day - we went from Clumber Park in bright sunshine, and went down to home, stopping off on the A14 services at the Cambridge bypass, where we stopped off for lunch and diesel and LPG!

Home

Total of 1098 miles for this trip!

Berwick (Seaview) to Clumber Park

Today we drove from Berwick to Clumber Park - we got diverted on teh A19 and went through the Tyne Tunnel (small toll!) and stopped off for coffee - then back on the A1 stopping off at Junction 46 which was very busy - they put us in the HGV section.

We passed 100 000 km on the S700 just north of Thirsk!

We arrived at Clumber Park around 3PM and had some tea ....

We reached 100 000 km in the S700

Arriving at Clumber Park ....

Berwick and Lindisfarne

Today we caught the B1 Bus into Berwick from the site - it was armed forces day and there was a Band and marching through the town centre. The met a couple from back home!

We then caught the 477 Bus to Lindisfarne and back - interesting as the bus times vary according to the tides so they can cross the Causeway! Stopped off at the M&S at the retial park to get a curry for dinner ...

Causeway to Lindisfarne ...

Armed forces day in Berwick

Pitlochry to Seaview - Berwick on Tweed

Today we drove down the A9, crossed over the Queensferry Bridge, and down the A1 to Berwick on Tweed.

Very misty, but getting brighter - and a nice sea view!

Another day in Pitlochry

Today we had a backstage tour at the Theatre - a small visit to the Edradour distillery, a small strum inspired by a dram or two, then on to the theatre to see Quality Street .... a play by JM Barrie.

Teltonika RUT850 modem for in van WiFi

Just been trying out the RUT850 and it seems to work well off 12V - Have a Three Data SIM in it - does up to 4G LTE with diversity, and has a WiFi. We have a diversity antenna on the roof.

Will even work to another WiFi hotspot and do back to back WiFi with 4G as a backup, or vice versa.

See here for details

Just as a note - also now using Freesat with a small Humax decoder HB1100-S which i got from Humax Direct - not only does it do 7 Day Programme Guide, runs of 12V, but also is playing loads of videos via a plug in SSD Drive on the USB port .....
