Biking in Norfolk

1 Apr 2007

Today I took the Uly up to Norfolk, first following Laura and her parents up to Oxburgh Hall then Laura and I drove up to Brancaster beach, where it was quite blustery and cold, but it was a beach. On the way home, seeing as we were at the coast we decided to stop for fish and chips at Hunstanton. Normally I avoid /Hunstanton as it’s usually too busy, but today it wasn’t too bad. Whilst trying to find a place to park we found a very long and narrow motorcycle parking place, crammed to the gills with many bikes:

Laura did ask when I’d be requiring that we got full sets of leathers that matched the bike, as that seemed to be the in thing with all the bikers. Certainly the parking spot explained why you see the occasional portly biker – one end there was the fish and chip shop, and at the other a hot fresh donut vending van :)
