When we started to look around and plan our first trip in Ziggy, we wanted something close by, but with a purpose.
For what ever reason – probably because i am allergic to doing Grockle things – I have never been to Horsey to see the seals – so after a quick search, I found a local campsite called Walnut Farm – £28 later, we were booked in for a Saturday night.
This part of Norfolk is very close to sea level – there is a huge dune / sea defence that basically keeps the land as – well, dry land !
Once we had parked up, we went for the mile walk to the beach, and walked alongside the North Sea – and no, we did not fancy a dip!
The part of the Seal Colony we walked through was the less popular end – we saw perhaps 60 seals in total, ranging in age – the only one that got Marcy was a young, probably male Pup – bloody teenagers!
We walked along the beach up to Horsey gap, then walked into the village to visit the Nelson Head Pub – good beer and cider collection. After a couple of restorative ales, we walked back to Waxham.
We spent a lovely evening in Ziggy – the TV reception was hit and miss, but we had things to do anyway. Not having a DVD player was no issue in real terms. What i did object to was showers being an extra cost – no, even if it is only a pound for 10 minutes, that’s wrong. I also objected to there being no hot water in the toilets – and by no hot water, there was not even a hot water tap – call me a bluff old traditionalist nurse, but simple hand hygiene starts with soap and hot water!
Cooking wise, i knocked up a simple steak, mushrooms and chips….
All told we travelled around 100 miles there and back again – with a little detour to see a few sites along the way.
Ziggy drove well, and i think we used around a quarter of a tank of diesel – i do want to wash Ziggy down though as the amount of grime off the roads
A great first trip 🙂
