March 2022 – Clippesby Hall, Norfolk

John very kindly made available a lovely cottage on the site for us to use:-Clappo, Terry, Adrian, Paul & Gareth. Including Jaipur on Tap!

  • First stop – the Basecamp complex- reception, bar, restaurant, lounge, games room, leisure wonderland.
  • Supplied with beers on demand by the very helpful (and new) basecamp manager Stephen. Great food too.
  • Eastern Norfolk along the coast on the first day.
    • Used the Reedham chain Ferry.
    • Gareth’s GSA wouldn’t restart and ferryman loaned jump leads to boost from the Ducati
    • Stopped for a coffee on the pier at Southwold and later a beer in Aldeburgh
  • Beers and meals served in Basecamp by our personal batman – Stephen
  • 2nd day – north coast run
    • Lovely route in fine weather
    • At fuel-stop in Cromer, Terry spotted the Ducati rear tyre was down to the canvas!
    • Stopped for afternoon coffee at Sandringham
  • Another enjoyable evening in Basecamp and afterwards at the cottage.
  • Gareth left early as he needed to get home
  • Rode bikes over to Basecamp and had a group cooked breakfast
  • Travelled home independently (T-very gently)
  • Paul had difficulties starting his new KTM – unfamiliar security feature
  • Hope we are invited back.
