Ziggy played Laika....

When we bought the old Cheyenne our first trip away was overnight at the Royal Estate Sandringham, a caravan and Motorhome club site. One thing we did remember was that both the TV reception was awful if you relied on the Van’s aerial - and the mobile coverage was shocking! On the way to the site - where we live is only 20 odd miles as the crow flies from home - we decided to stop and look at the ruined abbey at North Creake - neither of us had been there before - we knew there was not much but….. This also gave me an opportunity to get used to driving Ziggy - our old Moho was also based on a Fiat Ducati but with the 2.5 normally aspirated engine. The difference is noticeable - the old van cruised comfortably at 50 mph - Ziggy is comfortable at 55 or even 60 - and rather than having to drop down multiple gears for steep hills, the turbo has made a BIG difference. After that short break, we drove through Burnham Market and the smell of New Money and arrived at Sandringham bob on 1300. T...

 So, we have not actually been out over night in Ziggy as yet, but - we have booked two over night stays. For Christmas I was given a Bucket List Map of Great Britain and Jo and myself sat down and had a peruse. We both realised that neither of us had been to see the seals at Horsey… Horsey has the largest gathering of Grey Seals in the UK - the map said Blakeney but us locals know better - Blakeney is a money pit full of Londoners with Chelsea tractors…. Any way, we are off to Walnut Farm near Waxham to look at the Seals! Following on from that trip - we can only do alternate week ends as my sons come to stay - we are off to Sandringham. This is only 40 miles from us, but it’s where we first went when we bought our old Cheyenne - and we have a free night voucher courtesy of the Caravan and Motorhome Club. Not much for us to see and do on the way, but I suspect that we might go due North and turn left at Wells - and take the coast road to enjoy the view!
