Seaside

Today I jokingly told people I was doing a triathlon - bike, hike and swim. All based around Holkham on the Norfolk Coast. It was fun and I had a fantastic time back here at my favourite day trip location. Having got up early to avoid the traffic I was off on my bike ride by 9.30 am and back at the van for a welcome coffee break by midday. Then I hiked through the pines and back dunes to the beach, paddled for miles, picnicked and swam - twice! The sea is really warm now after all the hot weather. The waves were fun too, quite good for the North Sea east coast. Returned once more to Sula I brewed a pot of tea and cooked a pasta supper before a quiet journey home.
