As promised, pictures of our camping trip at the weekend.

The special thing about the tent is that rather than folding poles, it has inflatable beams which you blow up with a pump. I took a video of Rob doing this, but it’s currently too large to upload to Vimeo so I need to poke it with a stick and make it fit. If and when I manage this I will post it here just in case anyone is curious ;).



Here’s Rob with the tent in its bag :-



Being a numpty, I forgot to take any pictures of the assembled tent, so here’s one that Rob took.



Loitering within. This is the porch area which makes up half the interior. Positively decadent to have so much tent space!



We arrived on Friday at West Runton Camping and Caravan Club site (after a nice lunch at the Lord Nelson pub in Burnham Thorp) and got pitched and then we toddled down to peer at the sea, about a mile or so away. We decided that Saturday’s Expotition would constitute a walk along the beach to Cromer, and it was so.

Lovely brickwork on this Victorian railway bridge.



Access to the beach at East Runton.



And a nearby windvane.



Some of the rocks were eroded in strange shapes.



Coastal erosion is very visibly happening here.





Which may explain this staircase too.



Parts of the Cromer seafront look in need of a hefty dose of TLC :-



But the pier is going strong.





Breakwater



And there were Oystercatchers on the beach.



Many building in the area are constructed of the prevalent local flint like this cute little stable building.



Part of the footpath back to the campsite.



Where we found that our squirrel at home is not the only one to have learned this trick….
