Wild Duck Holiday Park Nr Great Yarmouth

Bit overcast this morning but reasonably warm and bright.

The gas ran out half way through cooking breakfast. They had no gas on the park so I went in search. Everywhere I went they had none until I finally found Simpson’s Garage who did. So we finally had brunch instead just before 1 pm. 

After brunch we eventually headed off to Horsey Windpump. The windpump is still undergoing restoration and currently the ground floor only is accessible to the public at this time. The sails have been reinstated and you can find out more about the history of the windpump and its exciting £500,000 restoration project. They hope to get the sails turning again by the end of 2018.





On the way back we called in at Caister Roman Fort. The fort was built around AD 200 and was occupied until AD 390,towards the end of the Roman period in Britain. It protected the estuary of the rivers Yare, Bure and Waveney, am important trade and strategic route leading inland. 




On the way back we called had a gentle ride through the seaside villages of Scratby and Hemsby, and a ride through Yarmouth seafront before heading to Great Yarmouth stadium for a lovely meal and a night of dog racing. 

After a nice evening, I lost £2 and Maddy won about £4, we had another ride along Great Yarmouth seafront in the dark before heading back to the Caravan.
