Back to Whilton - 22nd Feb ‘20

We woke to a nice pleasant sunny morning / about 12 degrees. Perfect weather ... to be packing up and going home?!

That said, it was still nice to be putting up the caravan stays and not getting wet or cold or both!


We had a bit of a lie in this morning - 8.15am. It was nice not to have Finners on board last night but I have to say his twin, Harry wasn’t much of a better bed fellow! Rather than a fish, Harry is more of a prop forward! He will be lying peacefully and then suddenly kick out, lash out with his arm or throw his head towards you with such force - like a prop forward crashing into a scrum. Fair enough on the rugby field but not so nice in bed!?

As Bella was down we decided to get breakfast out this morning. We drove into Sainsbury’s in Kings Lynn and I have to say all the boys ate well. On the way back, as the sun was still shining, we thought we would spend 10 minutes trying to get a view of Sandringham. Unfortunately we didn’t manage this but at least we saw the estate in the dry - it was even nicer than the rain!

Kim and I packed up while the boys played football. We were going through the gates at 11.59 - one minute before the official “out” time.


It was a uneventful journey home - dropping the kids off at about 2.15pm. The end of a very splendid 3 days with our wonderful grandchildren.

The Sandringham Estate Caravan Club Site:
Pros:
1) Very quiet and peaceful
2) Fabulous walks straight from the site
3) Handy for the coast and town (Kings Lynn)
4) The welcome lady was very nice and relaxed about our German van!
5) The kids loved the playground
6) As the soil was very sandy, even with all the rain, there was no mud
7) Beautifully kept and nice big plots
Cons:
1) The crazy toilet block shut time - 90 mins from 10.15am (way too early)
2) Very poor erratic 4G signal
3) Toilet block was a bit of a trek - the one at the top of the site by us was shut
