After Sandringham we moved onto the fens to meet up with friends some of whom you will no doubt recognise. After the ‘hills’ of Norfolk and Suffolk this place was seriously flat.
We did quite a bit of geocaching with David and Carol and also visited Peckover House in Wisbech. This is an elegant Georgian merchants house with a wonderful walled garden, an orangery and summerhouses.
Here we are geocaching and covering a bit of history at the same time. Somewhere on the site is a geocache, the information boards brought the site to life.
Stonea Camp stands on a gravel island two meters above sea level. It was a very wet place and the ditches would have naturally filled with water. There is a single bank and ditch to the south west with three defensive lines to the north. There were three periods of construction and it is suggested by the excavators that this was the site of the battle between the Roman governor, Ostorius and the Iceni in 47AD
My 1000th geocache!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Downham Market on a quiet Sunday morning. It is an ancient Saxon town and is one of Norfolk’s oldest market towns.
I had to have a rest after seeing so many shops in one place – fortunately most were closed.
Post BBQ chat on a cool evening. Sue Jones, Glynn and Carol.
David and yours truly.
At least somebody was enjoying the cool weather. Lord and Lady Bristow (no tiaras tonight – Geoff left his at home!).
This ends our tour of East Anglia, 4.5 weeks in all and generally very good weather.
