Harry's Karate Kamp, Harbour Campsite, Southwold - 12th July 2026

It's Harry's karate club's annual camping weekend at the Harbour Campsite in Southwold, and the timing is quite good as it means a few days' respite from the 30°C heat of the "interior" of Suffolk. Isobel and Harry are there for the whole weekend from Thursday night, however Nosher's playing with the Gislingham Silver Band on the Saturday, so it's a bit disjointed and it means tragically missing out on a day in Southwold's pubs drinking Adnams beers. On the upside, there's a trip down to the Harbour Inn on the Friday evening for food and a few pints, and to watch the impressive sunset over the river.
