Weekend away to Gatton Waters, 21st-24th August 2026

With the Tea and Cake afternoon gone and the Norfolk Weekend in a couplee of weeks, we thought we’d give ourselves a weekend break.

Not wanting to go too far we took the Herald/Viking combo to Gatton Waters caravan park near Sandringham. It’s a lovely site even though our pitch was a bit our of the way. Following the weather report we changed the arrival day from Thursday to Friday. What we weren’t expecting was the weather to be so bad on the Friday! After months of sunshine the skys opened in a torrential downpour late afternoon with the rain coming off the caravan in rivers.

The only saving grace was it didn’t last too long and we were able to take a walk to the clubhouse for a quick drink.

Saturday saw us go for a hike to Castle Rising for a cream tea. Losing our way back added another mile to the walk, making almost 8 miles.

Sunday saw another, shorter, walk to the Anvil in Congham followed by a drive up to Snettisham Beach for some lovely fish and chips in the evening.

Home on the Monday in around 3/4 hour, which was ideal. Only problem is the new petrol tank gauge seems to drop a lot quicker than the old, something to bear in mind…
