Day15
Walk the Norfolk Coast Path
July 25, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Rahel hat Lust, ein Stück des schönen Weges zu gehen. Nayra und ich fahren mit dem 🚗 bis nach Blakeney - dort treffen wir uns wieder. Meine Links-Fahren-Premiere klappt soweit gut - sonst ist Rahel unsere Top-Driverin! 😍 Blakeney ist ein idyllisches Küstenstädtchen (via Kanal verbunden) - fast schon etwas verschlafen. Wir flanieren entlang des Hafens, sehen Familien beim Krabben fischen, Leute auf SUPs, in Kajaks und natürlich auf Segelschiffen - chilliges Beachfeeling halt! Wir kochen Röschti - müssen dafür aber die Flügeltüren als Windschutz zur Hilfe nehmen… es hat ordentlich Wind hier… (siehe Bilder von Nayra) … tolle Abendstimmung!!Read more

Deal-4-Seals
July 25, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Da ich immer Ausschau nach ‚Seals‘ (Seehunde) hatte, meint Rahel: Mach einen Seals-Bootstrip! Gesagt getan. Timing ist perfekt - wir kommen nachmittags in Morston am Quay an, um 15:15 startet eine Tour. Die nette Lady ‚schmuggelt‘ mich noch aufs ausgebuchte Boot. Gespannt fahre ich raus. Die zwei Guides sind lustig und sehr unterhaltsam… irgendwann hören wir ‚5 minutes to the Seals‘ und prompt tauchen die ersten Schnauzhaare eines Seehund-Babys im Wasser auf. ❤️ Um die Ecke taucht eine kleine Kolonie Seehunde auf, die ein Sonnenbad geniesst sich sich räkeln. Wow! Was für ein grossartiges Erlebnis!!! 😍😍😍 Später sehen wir badende Seehunde: Plötzlich taucht ein Kopf auf, dann wieder unter und weiter weg wieder auf 🤩🤩🤩Read more

Dank dem letzten Video weiss ich jetzt auch warum die SeeHUNDE heissen ☺️ der Kopf sieht teilweise wirklich verblüffend ähnlich wie ein Hund aus [Gwen]

Weybourne to Blakeney
May 18, 2021 in England ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
Weybourne Hope is a two-mile stretch of land between Weybourne and Cley and was regarded as particularly vulnerable to invasion from the sea due to the deep inshore water that would allow ships to unload troops and stores here in the event of an invasion; for this reason a military camp was established here. This is now the site of the privately owned Muckleborough Collection, a military museum and we see many pillboxes and some guns as we take the coastal path around the outside edge.

We walk along the edge of the Salthouse Marshes, a popular bird-watching site, and espy the Parish Church of St Nicholas in the village of Salthouse itself. The beach becomes more sandy as we approach the Cley Marshes Nature Reserve at Cley Eye, and then turn south to Cley next the Sea; there are great views of the iconic Cley Windmill, a five storey tower mill that has now been converted to a guesthouse and licensed wedding ceremony venue. We cross the River Craven and head north on this side back up the coastline to skirt round the edges of Blakeney Eye and down to the coastal village of Blakeney and its welcoming Quay area.Read more

Blakenely Beach, the Day After.

Well there’s more to the Riviera of Norfolk than we thought.

There is swimming water.
There is also car drowning.
We think all vehicles survived the tide. A fellow turned up and sheepishly moved his Audi, by reversing even further into the water.
Was very confident of his 4 wheel drive?Read more

Amazing phenomenon. Head to believe the difference in the tides

Blakeney Town Beach

So what’s Blakeney?
Well it isn’t the Riviera of Norfolk.
No ocean, that appears to be a couple of K away.
There’s a winding mud flat to the sea where local and imported English children go crabbing with nets or slosh around in the mud. Forget the days of going home with sand, we are talking mud, mud, mud.
Full of people renting cottages, God alone knows what they do after crabbing.
Sit by your car and read the paper or line up for ice cream is the answer.

Is is however a great town.Read more

Day13
The White Horse Hotel, Blakeney
August 13, 2018 in England ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Rain, sun, rain, quite a number of very narrow roads and we are on the coast of Norfolk.
The street to the hotel is as wide as a driveway.
Filled with tourists and children who as they sit in the gutter with their legs out block the street.
Rather pleased to arrive.
It appears that the GPS has managed to bring us down the most inconvenient route but certainly the mos at adrenaline filled.
The hotel ha sits own car park.
Why is this important because the public car park at the bottom of the hill will be under water tonight.
We are not sure if all the gambolling English are aware of this.
More news of submergences tomorrow.Read more

Day4
Bye West Runton, Hi Blakeney
September 10, 2020 in England ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Moving day. Around 12 miles to be precise. So we thought we would visit Holt a picturesque small town on the way. Holt has small narrow streets and very few and small car parks. Muttley is a bit bulky. Not a match made in heaven. The first go at a car park in the centre, no space and entailed a bit of precision reversing so we could exit the car park and town. Second attempt at car park two.... err no. Exit town. Third attempt at supermarket car park no...... supermarket closed. Exit town. Sod Holt let's crack on! Wrong road out via satnag - narrow Norfolk roads so no turning till the next village. So back to Holt we went. We are nothing if not persistent, and took a run down a long road to try to street park.... nothing to accommodate our bulk. Returned back down the road and blimey right in the town a 1 hour restricted space was secured for our endeavour. I rewarded myself with a shopping spree in Adnams beer shop and herself secured a blouse in a posh shop. Nice town with great independent shops. Now parked up 1 mile from Blakeney with a sea view from our farm site no less. Blackberry and apple crumble tonight from the posh food shop in Holt. Lovely....Read more

Tuesday and Wednesday

Tuesday - Day at leisure to rest back as they say. Bit of sunshine filtering through so a day of reading until I persuade herself of the benefits of an afternoon stroll to West Runton beach, and a very nice beach it is too. Lovely sand and a few rock pools. Never seen so many dogs on this trip. People look at us strangely as we have no mutt on a lead. The smaller the caravan/motorhome the bigger and greater the amount of dogs within.
Wenesday - awake to full sunshine (at last) so off on the train to nearest Sheringham. Pleasant amble around a small market and through the town to the promenade. Stroll east and west until back is aggravated so retire to pub for embrocation in this case Adnam Ghost Ship at its finest! Skilfully avoid the many fish and chip shops only to be forced into an ice cream shop.🍦🍦 This seems to one of these holidays where we are doing bugger all apart from eating and drinking.🍺🍷 😎Read more

Wells next the Sea
September 12, 2020 in England ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

Nice sunny day so we are off via the bikes and the coast hopper bus to Wells. The bus driver does a fair impression of Lewis Hamilton along the narrow coast road splattering luxury 4x4 vehicles up against the flint walls in his wake. Wells is very nice with really only one main shopping street leading to the Quay and the river which links to the sea, again about a mile walk if you are inclined, and herselfs back is not. Noted in an estate agents window a beach hut on Wells distant beach can be had for the princely sum of £58,000! So we had a sedate saunter around the town and quay with cakes purchased from a very nice bakery, and the obligatory pint of Ghost Ship and then Lewis gets us back to Blakeney at speed.Read more

Blakeney by bike

Bike day today to ease the walking with the dodgy back. Only a couple of miles down the road Blakeney is so like many places along this bit of the coast, with a lot of marshland and rivers seperating the village from the actual sea. Lots of crab catching here and boats go out for seal watching Lovely picturesque village with the coastal path just over a mile from the beach. So we content ourselves with a roundabout walk around the village. Back on the bikes and a ride along the coastal road to the neighbouring Cley next the Sea. This time a beach road is available so we pedal out to the pebbly beach. Cley is a one road village very narrow so we decide to pedal back to Blakeney for refreshments. Well what do you know a pub serving Ghost Ship.... lovely! Bit of shopping for provisions and back home. 10 mies in total so not bad. The sunset tonight was very colourful and sticking.Read more
Lovely photo of you both. I recognise that jacket Deb sea looks good too.......did you have a dip? [Fiona]
