title A Wet Weekend of Camping, Waxham Sands, Norfolk - 13th June 2015 intro The Van gets out for another run, this time to Waxham Sands - a campsite straight out of the 1980s but with an enviable position just behind the sand dunes right on the beach in the wilds of the north-east Norfolk coast. Even though it's a bit of a washout in terms of the weather, it's still a good weekend as the large flock of children from our group of four families spends most of the time entertaining themselves on their bikes leaving the adults to while away the day before rounding off with a spot of wine in the evening. There's even a long-enough break in the weather to visit the beach and see the seals swimming around. imgp8614 Harry watches the poo-pad in the van imgp8617 The makeshift bicycle repair shop has been set up imgp8620 Evening tea imgp8624 A random stack of caravans imgp8626 1980s toilet block, with intermittent electricity imgp8629 Fred and Sophie mess around imgp8631 A sodium-lit caravan imgp8632 A whole scrum of kids in Chris and Megan's van imgp8634 Breakfast before the rain imgp8639 It starts lashing it imgp8643 Harry plays with Lego imgp8644 Rain on the awning window imgp8646 Harry makes a double sword out of Lego imgp8651 Harry, Fred and The Roph imgp8653 A possible trip to Yarmouth is suggested imgp8655 We head off to the beach imgp8658 A view of our spot from up on the dunes imgp8660 On the beach imgp8665 Fred does some sand measuring imgp8668 The vast expanse of sand is almost deserted imgp8670 Grace is a dot on the beach imgp8671 More sand castle building imgp8677 The rest of the gang join up imgp8679 A photo is taken imgp8691 Isobel walks around imgp8693 A flock of seabirds swings by imgp8703 Harry and Isobel wave at the seals imgp8706 A pair of seals bob around in the sea imgp8726 A curious seal pops its head out of the water imgp8727 Isobel hauls Harry up the beach imgp8728 More messing in the sea imgp8731 Harry's wrapped up like a papoose imgp8734 Soph the Roph shows off her sandcastle imgp8737 A pile of randomly-scattered child bicycles imgp8738 A dog-poo bin imgp8739 A stack of ancient caravans imgp8743 Isobel and Fred do the washing up imgp8744 Fred brings the washing-up back imgp8750 It's time for bubbles imgp8755 Fred chases bubbles imgp8761 More rain on the awning window imgp8764 The trailer-tent is packed imgp8766 Fred's got a new pet imgp8772 We stop off at Horsey Wind Pump on the way back imgp8773 Isobel and Harry on the broads imgp8775 We poke around inside the windpump imgp8779 A view of Horsey broads from the top imgp8780 Another view from the top of the pump imgp8782 The massive sail gears up in the roof imgp8787 Isobel, Fred and Harry imgp8791 Cows on the marshes imgp8798 Harry and Fred lean over the sail posts imgp8799 Isobel looks around imgp8800 The National Trust café at Horsey imgp8803 Some sort of filming for Channel Four occurs imgp8805 Harry by the "Things to do" board imgp8806 A large boat does a 20-point turn imgp8807 Fred hangs around
