title Harry's Karate Kamp, Blackshore, Southwold - 5th July 2025 intro The Karate/Tae-Kwondo class that Harry's in is doing its annual camping trip to the Harbour Campsite near the sea and the River Blyth in Southwold. There's not actually anything in the way of actual Karate happening, but there are plenty of trips to pubs and an entertaining Treasure Hunt on the Sunday - which includes a side-quest to find a rock which "looks like Sean" - and which goes to show that despite having been somewhere loads of times it is still possible to find things never before seen. In between, we also do pizza at the Lord Nelson with Mirka and Jake, and Nosher and Harry get the ferry over to Walberswick to do a bit of crabbing. imgp3333 Harry walks along a wall imgp3334 An old Lowestoft fishing boat waits for renovation imgp3335 Huts on Blackshore Quay imgp3337 Isobel and Harry again imgp3338 A less-conventional hut imgp3339 A giant tent acts as a boat-building shed imgp3340 We stop to pick up some seafood snacks imgp3341 Looking back along the harbour road imgp3342 The bar of the Harbour Inn in Southwold imgp3347 Harry looks up suspiciously imgp3351 Isobel and Harry out amongst the reeds imgp3355 We pass some curious almost-windowless cottages imgp3356 Harry ponders his lemonade imgp3358 Our pizzas arrive at the Lord Nelson imgp3360 Harry and the gang on East Street, Southwold imgp3361 The Lord Nelson on East Street imgp3362 Harry wags a finger imgp3364 There's a lovely Triumph Herald convertible imgp3366 A seagull perches on the Triumph imgp3368 Harry eats an ice cream imgp3370 We walk along the promenade for a bit imgp3372 Dog walking on the wide empty beach imgp3377 Isobel on Gun Hill imgp3378 Southwold beach huts imgp3380 Harry stands on a post imgp3382 All that remains of a derelict house on Ferry Road imgp3383 Mirka and Isobel walk into the Sail Loft imgp3385 Golden grasses wave around in the wind imgp3386 Fun in the sun behind the Sail Loft imgp3387 Harry's got his heaphones on imgp3390 Steps up to the sand dunes imgp3392 Harry and Isobel hang out at the van imgp3393 The Walberswick ferry waits at Blackshore imgp3397 A view up the River Blyth imgp3399 Harry fills up his bucket imgp3403 The quayside at Walberswick imgp3409 Harry does some crabbing imgp3410 Harry peers over the edge imgp3412 Harry with his string and bucket imgp3415 The rowing ferry carries some passengers over imgp3429 There's a seagull explosion near Harry imgp3438 The ferry office imgp3440 The ferry loads up for the trip back imgp3443 Isobel takes a photo from the Southwold side imgp3444 An 1894 photo of the Southwold Salt Works imgp3445 We start filling in answers in the Treasure Hunt imgp3446 The Red Lion on Queen Street imgp3447 There's another Renault 4 in Southwold imgp3448 Mill Lane in Southwold imgp3449 A nice little sun dial on a wall imgp3452 The castle-like Sacred Heart of Jesus church imgp3454 A Masonic lodge, hidden away imgp3457 The Electric Picture Palace imgp3459 Isobel fills in some more answers imgp3460 The four-sided Town Notices box imgp3461 Harry on the High Street imgp3462 Isobel gets another answer in the Treasure Hunt imgp3465 Isobel and Harry emerge into Bank Alley imgp3466 Isobel on Bank Alley imgp3467 Cool Capital Bosses on Victoria Street imgp3469 Harry near Adnams Brewery imgp3470 The Wesleyan chapel on Cumberland Road imgp3471 Isobel holds up an Irish sports shirt imgp3473 The Red Lion's, er, red lion imgp3475 Isobel outside the Red Lion imgp3478 A grand building opposite the pub imgp3480 There's an art exhibition on Gun Hill imgp3481 Isobel roams around the art exhibition imgp3484 Isobel and Harry wander around imgp3485 A couple of Karate lads haul a "rock" up Ferry Road imgp3486 Isobel in the Sail Loft again imgp3487 Inside the Sail Loft imgp3488 We have breakfast by the camper van imgp3490 The sea thistle is in bloom imgp3491 Isobel lays out a blanket on the beach imgp3497 Ferry Road, and the Sail Loft
