The weather at lunch time
I took the opportunity to walk to Woodhall Spa today and camp overnight even though the weather forecast was predicting interesting weather.
I walked through three thunder storms of which this one, during my break for lunch, was the most intense. It was close with the thunder rolling on sounding like a jet engine and plenty of rain. But it only lasted twenty minutes and by the time I reached the camp site at least I had dried out.
The wardens at the Camping and Caravan Club site at Woodhall Spa were as welcoming as ever. The site was full – there is a WWII event on in the village this weekend – but they still had space down by the lake for my one man backpacking tent. They even gave me enough milk for a couple of mugs of tea as they had sold out of 1pint bottles.

Sunday Breakfast at the campsite
We had a great pitch out of the way, in among the tress, and only a short walk from the water and the facilities. There was plenty of room to pitch two hike tents and leave the car a short distance away, out of the way.
The rain was really heavy first thing Saturday (thunder, lightening and flooding roads) but by the time we had spent an hour and a half in a coffee shop in Hunstanton and then driven back to Kings Lynn the weather had completely changed.
Although the rain was extreme for the first part of Saturday the camp site drained really quickly so we were not camping in mud.

Tea – Sunday morning
No rain clouds this morning, just blue skies. We are pitched near to the edge of the campsite and the woods, so the sun rose through the trees.
Here is the traditional shot of me making my early morning tea – it was such a nice morning I got up and sat out side.

Hunstanton
It was nice weather when I got up this morning but as I was making my coffee, the thunder started and in the end I had my breakfast in the tent, whilst the rain beat down.
The rain stopped long enough for us to pack away but by the time we came to leave the site it was raining again. Change of plan, coffee in Hunstanton out of the rain.

Set up and brewing some coffee.
Nothing lightweight about this trip – Alex and I came down by car. The green bag contains the food for the weekend, cans of beans, big soup, rolls, chocolate, noodles, satay sauce, ground coffee etc etc.
The plan is walking and photography tomorrow before the forecast thunder storms!
