Norfolk Lakei (Collective noun for Norfolk Lakes!)

[Doddy]

Hi,

Spent the last week of the summer Hols camping with my Brother in Hemsby, just north of Great yarmouth.

We both have Norfolk lake tents so it was quite a sight seeing the two of them pitched together. We did get a few people come over and comment on the tents.

Even though were are both just families of four haveing the extra bedroom pods meant there was lots of flexibility for sleeping and my Mum, nieces and sister all came to stay at various points during the week, so it all worked out well.

We are certainly practiced at pitching the tent now as we camped at a cycle rally over the weekend and then moved to Hemsby on the Monday. Taking down the tent and then putting it up 2 hours later is a test of your sanity!

Even though it mainly dry, the side extention (or should I say bike bike shed) came in very usefull for storing the bikes in. Didn't use the side door much, however, can see the advantage of the extension in wet weather and the time it did rain (Overnight) the area inside the extension was bone dry.

Some pics below:

Both tents up


My vango windbreak clips nicely onto te side extension to provide a secluded area.



You can also hang up the washing in the extension

Moved the wind break round, but still fixes onto the lake ok:

Great looking tents... And what a brilliant idea to keep the worst of the elements off the bikes... When I've had a bit more use out of my Zenobia 6, one of these could well be on my radar!
