Norfolk in August 2012

In August we had a few days in Norfolk and nearby was Burnham Overy Staihe which is a lovely place

 The beach at Burnham Overy Staihe this is 1 3/4 miles from the car park along a bank across the marsh. the path is part of the peddlers way.
 What ships dad I cant see any just my stupid step brother in the distance when will he ever learn seagulls fly .
 The beach is full of little channels while we were watching the Tide came in behind some people and they had to wade through knee high water.

 This is the channel on the way back as the tide comes in people can easy get cut off if you don't look at the tide times and go onto the island.

 The car park is not pay and display but you have to know the tide times as it can get flooded on high tides.

 the young people who sail at high tide are all aware of the tides and all have life jackets on it was great to see them rigging the sails and competing against each other.


 the mirror sailing dingies were competing in a race in the distance.
we went to Burnham Overy a few times at high tide just to watch the sailing.
One day the kids were building rafts to race helped by dads and some times mums.
there is a web cam showing the staihe and boats well worth watching.
I will try to up date the site more often if i can I just seam to have got out of the habit of posting.
