Brancaster then Wells next the Sea

We had a breakfast bap in the sun before leaving Sandringham site to drive along the north Norfolk coast.
We stopped first at Brancaster Staithe which is very boaty place. Lots of people with trailers launching mirror dinghy's to power boats. There was also a big group of children on a RYA sail training course with dozens of Topper dinghies sun.
lined up for them to sail. We were lucky to grab a parking space over-looking the creek. Rosemary bought a dressed fresh Brancaster crab and a tray of mixed crayfish and prawns. So we got the chairs and table out and had a real nice shell fishy picnic watching the boats being launched in the sun.
After lunch we moved on to Wells next the Sea. It is carnival week so different events every day, including a small food and craft fair. We had a wander round, it was busy for us but probably just normal summer holiday crowds. We had a cream tea before finding our CL for the night which was close to Wells at the Midden. This was a 6 acre rubbish tip in the 80's but has now been restored by a rather eccentric looking father and son. The CL is big enough for 8 and has its own station on the Wells to Walsingham narrow gauge steam railway. Thunderstorms had been forecast but we just had a few spots of rain in the evening.
