Southwold and the surrounding area is an obvious choice. The north Norfolk coast is also beautiful from Holme all the way round to Walcott. If coasts don't float your boat we have various old ruins in west Norfolk around Castle Acre and Castle Priory or the abbey and shrine at Walsingham. There are also stately homes, wildlife reserves and, of course, the fine Medievel City of Norwich. Don't recommend that on a Saturday though.
Tell us what interests you all and i'm sure we can sort a location. Except stone circles, sorry Leon. Know some lovely graveyards though!

I love the north norfolk coastline Sparx ... Holme, wells-next-the-sea and the rest are amazing places .... just a bit far for me for a day trip.

as it's a bit of a drive to get to southwold from here - it would be better to keep things close to there from my point of view - coastal, boats and groynes are always good from my point of view, but we can always go down the coast a bit to that ruined church (cant remember what it is called now) - an early start would be best for me, although being realistic the earliest after the drive would be about 9:00.

Southwold... Still, almost as easy as Southend from from E. London - just up the A12. Used to visit a client near there.

Have fun folks - too far for me - besides, I would have to brave nearly 50% of the M25...

Cheers, Bob.

Hi,

I've been away from here for a while so missed this thread.

I'm up for a meet in May, I've often meant to go to Southwold (and I quite agree, Broadside is one of the finest beers ever brewed). Might even have my new darkroom finished by May (fingers crossed!)

Ben.

 

[Leon]

it would be good to have you along Ben

 

[CarlRadford]

Good luck with the venture guys - we're supposed to be a dying breed but seem to be coming out of the woodwork these days. All the best, Carl!

 

[sparx]

Right, shall we firm things up a bit.
Date: 14th May
Location: Southwold
Who is up for it and will anyone need a floor to kip on Saturday night?

 

[Leon]

I'm in for sure - kind offer of the floor sparx, but if we can get a dog sitter, me and the wife-to-be might get a b&b and make a weekend of it.

Please do not put ideas into my wife's head - that apart we have the date ringed.

 

[Leon]

bump ....

all still ok for this - time's getting close.

I've programed Southwold into the SATNav and am ready to go. Where's me camera?

 

[Leon]

sorry chaps - I'm going to have to cancel my visit to Southwold ... something else has come up that I cant really get out of. I will definitely be coming along to avebury though in october so hopefully see you there.

 

[sparx]

That's a right bugger Leon. Is everyone else still available? Or should we perhaps schedule for a few weeks time? I'm easy either way.

 

[Ben Taylor]

Sorry to say work commitments got in the way last weekend, did the meet happen or has is been postponed?

 

[Leon]

no reason why we cant re-arrange, unless people want to wait until october to meet up in Avebury ...? I'll happily do both if I can

 

[sparx]

Also happy to try again sometime soon. Is Southwold still OK for everyone or should we look for somewhere more central? Seems a shame to waste the lovely summer we're supposed to be getting.

 

[Leon]

Southwold is good for me - my wife and I love it there so we can have a bit of a weekend of it too .... if the sun eventually deems to grant us with his presence.

Cold innit!

Is anyone out there interested in meeting up somewhere in Norfolk this winter? I live in Kings Lynn and work/family commitments make it tricky for me to get away at the moment. The Norfolk coast is fantastic at this time of year.

I've come very late to this thread (and the whole list). As there seem to be a few of us here in Norfolk, a day out on the North Norfolk coast sounds very attractive, if the weather improves a bit....

Hi Richard (and anyone else who fancies a day out in Norfolk)

I'm usually free weekday afternoons (except Weds) and occasionally a whole day midweek. I don't tend to get much time at weekends, though.

Sorry Rob, I haven't been monitoring this thread recently. I too have problems about time off on weekends so would prefer some time in the week. A Friday perhaps?

Holkham is nice, apart from the exorbitant cost of the car park. Gorilla suit strictly optional...


Richard

 

[Rob Archer]

Hi Richard (or anyone else interested)

Iam possibly free on friday 7th April, but won't be able to confirm it until early next week. Holkham sounds OK. Gorilla suit?

Rob

 

[Richard Kelham]

"Gorilla suit?"
