A camping break in Norfolk

steve836 · September 11, 2015, 05:47:27 PM

SWMBO dragged me off on a camping break, but our campsite in Norfolk (Kelling Heath) has a station on the North Norfolk Rly. and last weekend they had a steam gala. Here are some pics.[smg id=28931 type=preview align=center caption="031"][smg id=28932 type=preview align=center caption="030"][smg id=28933 type=preview align=center caption="032"][smg id=28934 type=preview align=center caption="033"]

and some more,
I have to keep it brief as my internet connection seems to have a short attention span![smg id=28935 type=preview align=center caption="035"][smg id=28936 type=preview align=center caption="038"][smg id=28938 type=preview align=center caption="042"]
SWMBO wants me to do something else now so will post some more pics later(including some diesels for those of that persuasion!)

Great pics - thanks!

Last time I was at Kelling Heath camp site, the railway line at the bottom of the site was just a cutting!

Someone told me that the class 31 was known as the rice pudding class because they couldn't pull the skin off one, but I don't know if that was just him![smg id=28962 type=preview align=center caption="054"][smg id=28963 type=preview align=center caption="024"]

Sorry pics 063 & 059 are the wrong way round (59 is the class )31

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing those pictures.
Sounds like an excellent place for a campsite.

There is no best place for a camp site....brings back orrible memories of wet and windy damp nights and days...the joys of UK camping...now the kids are grown up its cushy hotel rooms for me any day of the week..ps putting aside the nice steamers photos..

We must've crossed paths at some point - I was there at some point both days!

No Nobby, I don't do that sort of thing, just take 'em for my pleasure and share for my mates.

I HATE camping with vengeance. Memories of getting soaked for a week in the Lake District in my early twenties.

However, that looked like a tolerable trip.

Thanks for posting your cool photographs

Know what you mean, but now we've got a "tin-tent", so, if the weather's bad I just turn up the heating and get out my modelling stuff!

So it never looked like this to you:-

To be fair I didn't expect it to be like this when we went in June after our previous water-logged holidays there about a decade ago!

Cool photo. To be honest when I was there last year it was... well, for one day, anyway.

Where is the location there, please?

Chris · September 13, 2015, 08:56:08 AM

That was taken on Ullswater from the cruise boat.
