title	Camping on the Edge at Snettisham Beach, Norfolk - 28th August 2023
intro	Isobel books a few days at a campsite solely on the basis that it was right next door to where she and Harry had been camping with the Scouts the week before. However, it's not exactly high end, what with its grim home-made toilet facilities comprising of portakabins lashed together with duct tape, and to add to the fun, half the Traveller population of East Anglia appear to be living there on a semi-permanent basis, which gives the whole place a certain "edge". However, it's in a handy location about 15 minutes walk from Snettisham Beach, and it's a short drive to Wells Next the Sea and Holkham. Unfortunately, seeing as it's August Bank Holiday, these places are ridiculously busy and we can't park anywhere, but we do find an oasis of calm at Brancaster Staithe, which somehow - almost implausibly - manages to avoid being overrun whilst at the same time being very picturesque. With some relief, we bail out of our camping booking a day early as Isobel has to go home anyway to get enough signal to be able to work, so Nosher and the boys pack up the van a few hours later and stop off on the way home at Lynford Stag near Mundford for a van picnic and a walk.
