Norfolk 25th August - 1st September

Camping in Cromer.

The question is will Mike and Martine tell us their holiday destination next year? Yes if it means being able to off load the spoils of their last Christmas!


Pb's all round - Liz and Jo managed an hour and half canoe trip at Sutton Broad in the middle of a 40 mile cycle journey fuelled by local beer and baguettes. Julie got to ride in her big ring, out of the saddle and did drafting - many thanks to her personal coach MT. We also have the evidence of just how much she likes her whiskey but we are too polite to publish that!
Jude did a triathlon which involved baking a loaf of bread, driving from Levenshulme to Cromer in time to join the team popping out for a mere 60+ mile bike ride round Norfolk. Those rice cakes must be good. Meanwhile Dave over took yet another horse and cart without this time raising the heart rate of his fellow cyclists. Glynis produced a tray of the finest salmon and cream cheese oer d'horves to accompany one of the many rounds of gin and tonics.
And in the spirit of team work Jude, Dave and Glynis successfully paddled a two seater canoe on the broads whilst singing old Girl Guide songs. And Mike and Martine did us all proud with their BBQ ed fish and sweetcorn dishes and thanks to Mike for some expert navigation on and off the national cycle routes.

Here is the team at the seaside (minus Dave the photographer and Liz using her camper van as an office) following a picnic lunch courtesy of the very fine deli at Cley-next-the-sea.

What's next?
