title A Trip to Waxham Sands, Horsey, Norfolk - 27th August 2016 intro The Van gets another trip over to the East-by-North-East Norfolk coast at Waxham Sands, in the dunes just outside Horsey. The site is absolutely packed, but at least the weather is significantly better than the wet weekend from the year before. We also get on the bikes to discover the Nelson Head pub in nearby Horsey - a well-worn but great traditional boozer with good food and tons of beers. imgc4051 Harry spins down the curly slide imgc4054 Fred encourages Harry over the rope bridge imgc4060 The boys run around the tyre ring imgc4065 We head back to the campsite imgc4067 The capsite office and shop imgc4068 Looking at sweets in the campsite shop imgc4072 Fred does more dangling imgc4073 Harry scores with a Cadbury fudge imgc4075 A 70s pay phone, with "beware of the geese" sign imgc4076 Harry on his balance bike imgc4077 Harry scores some chocolate imgc4080 Isobel pours a fizzy water imgc4081 The Nelson Head imgc4084 Nosher's black beer imgc4085 A derelict K6 phone box outside the Nelson Head imgc4087 Amusing directions to the hand drier imgc4088 Harry and Fred eat lunch imgc4090 The Nelson Head bar imgc4091 Harry in the bar imgc4093 Random pub things imgc4094 Fred and the remains of his lunch imgc4095 Fred cools off imgc4096 Fred's on his bike again imgc4097 Isobel and the boys imgc4098 Back on the road to Waxham Sands imgc4099 Heading past Horsey Gap - home of the seals imgc4100 Fred has a great time pedalling his bike imgc4101 Isobel by the river to Horsey Mere imgc4103 The boys sign up for a Broads boat trip imgc4104 A boathouse in the reeds imgc4106 Isobel and Fred look out imgc4107 Isobel and Fred imgc4109 Fred's got a hat on imgc4112 Harry and Isobel go to sea, sort of imgc4113 The view across the bow imgc4115 Fred and Harry are hidden away in the bow imgp5728 A shaggy-thatched boathouse imgp5730 Swans on Horsey Mere imgp5733 A family of swans imgp5734 A gull perches on a post imgp5735 The river to Horsey Mere imgp5736 A quintessential broads boating scene imgp5737 An old yacht running downwind in full sail imgp5742 There's a second nesting session from a Grebe imgp5748 A pair of swans followed by offspring imgp5750 A cormorant stretches its wings imgp5754 The cormorant on a post imgc4116 The boat's captain chats to Fred imgc4117 Fred swings around near the bikes imgc4118 Fred does crazy golf imgc4119 Pitch and put at Waxham Sands imgc4122 A busy pitch-and-putt course imgc4127 Harry gets a go imgc4128 The van has moved to the overflow car park imgp5679 The awning is set up imgp5681 Harry and Fred do breakfast imgp5685 Fred and Harry do Lego imgp5686 More Lego action imgp5687 The boys are buried in the sand imgp5690 Waxham Sands campsite is absolutely heaving imgp5693 Fred on the path from the beach imgp5695 Fred does his teeth imgp5698 Harry gets some socks on imgp5700 Fred makes more Lego imgp5703 Boats on the river at Horsey windpump imgp5704 An old cruiser is out on the river imgp5705 A big dragonfly lands on the bench imgp5706 Harry looks grumbly at the National Trust café imgp5709 We have a drink and a snack imgp5710 More river scenes imgp5715 This boat is either moored or crashed imgp5716 Fred's up a tree imgp5718 Fred does some squatting imgp5720 Harry's up a tree now imgp5723 Fred stands up a tree and points imgp5726 Running downwind imgp5727 Harry walks down a path imgp5756 Nice olds boats on the river imgp5760 In the Nelson beer garden imgp5764 Isobel on the beach imgp5766 Isobel and Fred head out to sea imgp5773 Fred buries himself imgp5779 Fred explodes out of the beach imgp5783 The buoy-laying vessel Galatea drifts by imgp5789 Fred kicks sand around
