title	Horsey Seals and Sea Palling, Norfolk Coast - 2nd January 2017
intro	A trip to Horsey to see the seals had been on the cards for Boxing Day, and perhaps it wouldn't have been quite as heaving if it had happened then, as it turns out that this is the day that the world and its dog decides to visit. It's made a bit worse by the fact the the beach is sealed off to protect the seal pups, and so the crowds are all coralled through a short roped-off section along the beach and back. Despite that, it's still nice to see some seal pups, but we still have a hankering to roam on the beach and so head up first to Waxham Sands campsite, where the beach is still fenced off, before ending up in Sea Palling, a couple of miles further up the coast.
