Just wind (except for the rain)
... was probably the only alternative after 9 o’clock in Hunstanton at the end of October. The walk from The Golden Lion is perhaps 200-250 yards but it was downright unpleasant. The wind was coming straight off the sea and into our faces, driving lots of cold rain with it. Our jackets were adequate to keep the worst of it off our top halves but neither of us like waterproof trousers and our legs were getting wet and cold. We didn’t ...

4 Weeks in Bucknall, Woodhall Spa (Week 3)
... There we left our case in the luggage facility and caught the free bus back up town for a look around and some last minute shopping. We strolled back and caught the 12.43 to Sheffield where we changed to the Lincoln train arriving there at 3.06 right on time. A few groceries later and we were on the 3.30 bus to Bucknall. The British trains were okay but noisy and cramped. Today's train to Lincoln was so cramped I could sit in the seat but my knees ...
