7am - rain. Postponed packing the car as we are currently experiencing a good downpour; which is forecast all morning.
1.50pm arrived, thinking we would be pitching in the rain we
were surprised to find it sunny, we were given a flat and relatively dry
area.

| Perfect pitch - who'd have thought it had been raining an hour earlier | . |
late lunch and walked into Norwich.

Continued along the river and then onto the cathedral . After walking around we found a small pub called tge Adam and Eve, believed to be the oldest pub in Norwich, serving some decent beer.

We discovered that we are in the city's fine ales week, where participating pubs stamp a book once you've bought an ale in there. Once the book is completed then you are entitled to the prize of a tee shirt. We'll never do all in a couple of days.
A few more sights then back to the tent for a barbeque and another short walk.
