After ten miles or so of being overtaken by caravans on the A 10 I decided to hit the B roads instead and doing a bit of sun navigation I tried to head North East. I finally hit the coast at Blakney which was a bit further East that I had hoped but a great ride none the less.
A fuel stop in Blakney, then it was on to Wells;next-the-sea for chips and a stroll around the town. It is a few years since I visited and I was pleased to see it thriving. I was especially pleased to see the harbour being used more with the addition of a floating pontoon for leasure craft. At the end of the channel there was another development with a dock for comercial craft. I believe these craft service the off shore wind turbines dotted along the coast.
I will always have a soft spot for Wells as this is where my parents had their second hand book shop. It is now a gift shop calles Simply Norfolk
Then it was a easy ride home. 147 miles in total. Peanut ran like a sewing machine and comsumed a staggering £7.60 in petrol. There were lots of 'power rangers' on the roads but I bet they didnt have have half as much fun as me on the old Cub.
