Sheringham 19-21 Jul 13

"The site is nice, but we have done this areas to death now and it is time to go elsewhere as it is just too far for a weekend away".

Famous last words after our visit to this site in May and here we are back again. I blame the beer. On the Motorhome Fun forum somebody suggested that the Sheringham Steam Railway beer festival is excellent - and excellent it is!

We left early on Friday and had time to pitch and walk into Sheringham to sample the beer and cider. A few (well, quite a few) pints later we staggered back after watching an excellent modern skiffle band and a not so excellent Jazz band, as well as undertaking a shedload of people watching. Norfolk is great for people watching (I'll say no more (NFN)). The festival was set up on the platform and it was fun drinking and sitting in old railway carriages, parked for the occasion.

On Saturday we decided that we needed some fresh bread and some crab to make sandwiches so we wandered into town again after just missing the hourly train from West Runton to |Sheringham. We had lunch in a pub, bimbled around town, had a few more pints at the festival, bought a crab and went to catch the train back, only to find that the hourly train was cancelled due to the later running of an earlier train!!!  How the hell can you cancel an hourly service. NFN again. We walked back - and ate our crab sarnie (yummy)

Sunday I cycled to the shop to buy the paper. It was shut until 9.30 (NFN) so I cycled to Cromer to get a paper. Knackered, I returned for breakfast, a read of the papers, a general relax and then a relaxing journey home.
