Harry watches the poo-pad in the van
A Wet Weekend of Camping, Waxham Sands, Norfolk - 13th June 2015
The Van gets out for another run, this time to Waxham Sands - a campsite straight out of the 1980s but with an enviable position just behind the sand dunes right on the beach in the wilds of the north-east Norfolk coast. Even though it's a bit of a washout in terms of the weather, it's still a good weekend as the large flock of children from our group of four families spends most of the time entertaining themselves on their bikes leaving the adults to while away the day before rounding off with a spot of wine in the evening. There's even a long-enough break in the weather to visit the beach and see the seals swimming around.

The makeshift bicycle repair shop has been set up
Evening tea
A random stack of caravans
1980s toilet block, with intermittent electricity
Fred and Sophie mess around
A sodium-lit caravan
A whole scrum of kids in Chris and Megan's van
Breakfast before the rain
It starts lashing it
Harry plays with Lego
Rain on the awning window
Harry makes a double sword out of Lego
Harry, Fred and The Roph
A possible trip to Yarmouth is suggested
We head off to the beach
A view of our spot from up on the dunes
On the beach
Fred does some sand measuring
The vast expanse of sand is almost deserted
Grace is a dot on the beach
More sand castle building
The rest of the gang join up
A photo is taken
Isobel walks around
A flock of seabirds swings by
Harry and Isobel wave at the seals
A pair of seals bob around in the sea
A curious seal pops its head out of the water
Isobel hauls Harry up the beach
More messing in the sea
Harry's wrapped up like a papoose
Soph the Roph shows off her sandcastle
A pile of randomly-scattered child bicycles
A dog-poo bin
A stack of ancient caravans
Isobel and Fred do the washing up
Fred brings the washing-up back
It's time for bubbles
Fred chases bubbles
More rain on the awning window
The trailer-tent is packed
Fred's got a new pet
We stop off at Horsey Wind Pump on the way back
Isobel and Harry on the broads
We poke around inside the windpump
A view of Horsey broads from the top
Another view from the top of the pump
The massive sail gears up in the roof
Isobel, Fred and Harry
Cows on the marshes
Harry and Fred lean over the sail posts
Isobel looks around
The National Trust café at Horsey
Some sort of filming for Channel Four occurs
Harry by the 'Things to do' board
A large boat does a 20-point turn
Fred hangs around
