Dower House Camping, West Harling, Norfolk - 27th May 2018

The camping trip, which had been planned for a while, is nearly thrown into disarray as Rachel has chopped her thumb off and so can't go. However this means that instead of our pitch being down with the Hoi Poloi in the no-electric free-for-all, we get a nice spot with hook-up instead, which is a bit of a bonus. It's also the first time that the van has been out for absolutely ages, which is nice. We also do a bit of a bike ride from West Harling, via Middle Harling to East Harling where the boys are rewarded by ice cream. We're sitting on a bench opposite the George and Dragon pub, which was the site of a couple of legendary BBs New Year's Eve gigs, but which is now sadly up for sale.
