my name is mwd

Last weekend Laura and I went camping in Suffolk. I was hoping to take the bike camping for the first time (I even had it kitted out), but the weather looked rough, and in the end we took the car. Quite disappointing in some way, but I’d rather we had a good weekend away.

We went to a camp site that was very near the beach, and a nice quite stretch it was too. I imagine it’s not a huge tourist destination due to the small fact of the Large Nuclear Power Station just half a mile along the sea front. Sizewell A may be an ugly lump of concrete, but at least they made an effort with Sizewell B, as Laura demonstrates in full Tomorrow’s World mode:

I took a panoramic shot of it with my camera phone (click here for the full version):

But we liked the beach – particularly the ease of having your first cup of tea of the day before breakfast sat on the shore. We also managed to demonstrate over the weekend that Laura can row a boat much better than I can, and we found some English Red Wine, and a Black Vulture that seemed to think it was a road runner. All in all, a good relaxing weekend. Laura’s put up a full set of pictures here.
