For a late break we took the van (and Ruby!) to the Sandringham CCC site.

We arrived on Friday 17th November and stayed for two nights. Although the house was closed to visitors there was a large Christmas Fair going on in the grounds a short walk away which we had a look around on Saturday.

On Saturday afternoon we were joined on site by Jim & Kate and on the following day they drove us all for an excursion up to Hunstanton for a walk by the sea.

The drive up turned out to be a little more exciting than planned when the car had a flat tyre halfway up the  A149!  I hope it wasn’t caused by the extra weight of two people and a dog in the back seat! Jim did an excellent job of changing the tyre at the roadside while the rest of us helped with important jobs like holding his coat.

I’d be very happy to visit the campsite again, especially in warmer weather when we would also be able to visit the house.  The site seems to have plenty of space in a wooded environment with good facilities (apart from the shop which was tiny!).

We took a walk through woods and appeared to arrive in some strange parallel universe – this was in fact the Caravan and Motorhome Club campsite next door but it was fascinating to be able to compare the two sites.  My own view was that the CMC site was busier and tidier (with a bigger shop!) but the pitches seemed closer together with much less open space.
