micro adventure - summer solstice in norfolk

Inspired  by the concept of micro adventures we decided that we would throw away all that careful planning and booking ahead of camp sites and B&Bs and toss caution to the wind by driving from our home in Peterborough to the rolling coastline of north Norfolk.  Loaded with our bikes minimal clothing, sleeping bags and a spirit of adventure we arrived in Hunstanton at 3pm on the 21st June. Bikes ready we cycled off fully loaded and with our mini map on the 25 mile ride to Wells Next the Sea via Burnham on Market - the Norfolk 'Sloan Square'.    After a hearty meal of 'fish n chips' and a pint we ventured to the coast to find a suitable place to wild camp. The dunes of Holkham Bay provided our sleeping bags with a home for the night as we settled back to watch the sunset. The next morning saw a cloudy but warm and still solstice sunrise and the walk to the beach gave our legs the wake up they needed ready for the 14 mile cycle back to Hunstanton. A cafe stop for bacon butties and hot tea sustained us until we reached the cliff tops of sunny Hunny - which by now it was - and the delicious smell of sweet doughnuts from the sea front vendor, just reward for our amazing first micro adventure and memories never to be forgotten.
