I think the stretch of coast from Burnham Overy Staithe to Holkham/Wells is hard to beat. Park your car at the side of the road in BOS, walk towards Wells and catch the Coasthopper bus back (approx £2 each). The Hero is a nice pub, though may be busy with the 'locals' from Burnham, but the beer's good.
if you don't fancy going that far, I like to park near the bus stop in Marsham and walk across Marsham Heath (can be muddy!!). go to the 'Streetmap' Website and print off a map showing the footpaths, so you don't get lost. The Plough is a reasonable pub.
You could also go to Blickling - there's a car park on the SW corner of the park, just before you come out of the woods and you can walk down by the lake etc. The pub is lovely if a tad pricey - http://www.bucksarms.co.uk/
If you want any other suggestions, just ask.
That's great! Thanks a lot mate! I'll make a note of all of them!! Will be good to know for future, even if I didn't do it tomorrow. All sound lovely! Will look into them now.

Total bollocks mate, short term pain for long term gain. Personally I would have paid a yearly tax to come out of the EU to regain our sovereignty, so whatever economic argument you put to me I'll bat it back notwithstanding that is bullshit. Where did you find that? The Guardian? <doh>

I thought the Brexit vote was in June 2016. What relevance has this got. More to do with austerity and the Tory government destroying public sector jobs, I suspect
 
The Rough Guide suggesting ten 'Budget Breaks' for 2017.
But when you look at the list, it's mainly long-haul mega bucks air fare stuff, like USA, Cambodia, Philippines, and bloody Adelaide - about as far the other side of the world as you can get! <doh>
That ain't no budget break in my book!
I've remonstrated with them on twitter, but why would they listen to me - no-one else does :( :emoticon-0106-cryin

Brought our kitten home today. I'm trying to settle him down before the Girlfriend gets home.

He's absolutely petrified. Been home for an hour and a half, he's not left the carry case.

Have you tried a sardine or pilchard or similar to entice it out of the box?
Or even some of your home-cooking? <yikes> ;)

If he won't come out, just tip the box up - it's what I used to have to do when I took mine to the vet.
Don't forget to get him neutered as soon as he's old enough!!!!!

You recon do that!? I was wondering whether to ease him out, like ripping off a plaster. But he's so shy and scared didn't know if I should leave him to come out on his own. He seems very tired at the moment. You think get it over and done with and tip him out?

Yea, He's too young for that yet, got to keep and eye on him, and take him back in probably a few weeks time. :emoticon-0148-yes:
