time was, when i ran a car that this was all very easy. now it's a job and a half, but my compusion to gain access to this beach is so strong, and my friend jenny is so intrepid, that we have done this trip twice, now. first time in january, and then a couple of weeks ago.
she has a house near kings lynn. we went up by train from london, and in the morning got a lift into lynn. the buses are not particualrly integrated, and there are few of them, but the drivers are heroes. in january the driver got us on our bus home by cutting up the other bus so it couldn't move til we got on. that is service.
so you get this bus ticket 'coast hopper' and then it is laminated so it is like some fancy plane ticket. i like this combo of lo fi and snazzy. it suits my headspace

i will not bore you with endless pictures of this beach, because no matter how many pictures i took, nor how good a photographer i took with me to the beach, that would not be the point. i have been on this beach in all weathers, all times of year, and one day here is worth a fortnight anywhere. sometimes newspapers and magazines do features where it is picked as one of the top ten beaches in the world, and i panic in case too many people come here, but it is almost impossible for it to be ruined. it is massive, it is land managed so there are no ameneties, you can bring dogs and horses, but there are no toilets or anything for miles, and all the amusement arcades and so on are well catered for elsewhere. this is for toffs and nature lovers, and long may it remain so
