Friday 13th December 2019

This morning just as we were about to have breakfast the kitchen tap in the van packed in. Probably the micro switch has died. We visited a motorhome dealer in Great Yarmouth just south of Caister  to see if they had time to fit a new micro switch today - they didn't so we decided we could live with it till we get back to Devon. We can easily fill the kitchen sink from the washroom tap. We came on to Lowestoft and parked by the sea on an Industrial Estate. This is Ness Point - the most easterly place on Great Britain. As you can see we are right next to an enormous wind turbine.

 

There is a monument to mark the spot.

The monument is circular and has pointers with the distances to various places in Britain and Europe.

The construction of the monument was part funded by the European Regional Development Fund - there won't be any more of that in future!

We got our bikes out and went for a ride along the sea front.

We saw this old lighthouse.

There's a cold wind today so we're well wrapped up. This coast is inhabited by vast numbers of holiday chalets. These on the left have no sea views as the tidal defences are much too high for them to see over.

Here's view north from the end of the sea front promenade.

We turned round here and cycled back to our van for a cup of tea. We're staying overnight back by the wind turbine.

Today we travelled 21 miles (34 kilometres). We are at N52.48073 E1.76189
