Well known in the uk, with the hotspots mapped. Can be easily mitigated by washing the dogs feet after each walk in suspect areas. Belived to be a form of e-coli in muddy forest areas. None of these things are new of course, just a realisation they exist. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=690236&v=e car4play690234 Mon, 06 Jul 2026 15:21:58 +0100 Seasonal Canine Illness. never heard of it so I checked it out - seems linked to orange Harvest mites.

Car costs between 375k to 400k, the plate I believe was bought for over 1 million. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=690231&v=e car4play690228 Mon, 06 Jul 2026 14:56:01 +0100 >> Tearooms in the old stable block are rather good too. V. popular with dog walkers. By NT standards, about Average. Re dog walkers. There is a rather nasty issue in a few select areas of Norfolk (and slightly into Suffolk) Seasonal Canine Illness (SCI) a rare, mysterious condition that strikes dogs within 72 hours of walking in woodlands like the Sandringham Estate. It causes severe vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy. While its exact cause remains unknown and there is no specific cure, fatalities have dropped significantly with prompt veterinary intravenous fluids and supportive care. Sandringham, Thetford and Rendlesham forests are to be avoided with dogs from late July to end November http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=690228&v=e car4play690227 Mon, 06 Jul 2026 14:48:25 +0100 > >> point was completely lost on the guy I spoke to. Funny that, I had a good chat to the ex RAF techie fixing the mobile control room for the bloodhound missile they have on site. I mentioned how drones are changing warfare. His long condemnation of "cheap useless rubbish" was akin to the dinasours dismissing any threat to their existence. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=690227&v=e car4play690225 Mon, 06 Jul 2026 14:43:16 +0100 "V. popular with dog walkers." Good reason not to go then :-) http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=690225&v=e car4play690223 Mon, 06 Jul 2026 14:41:21 +0100 "Went to NT Felbrigg Hall, a more uninspiring gloomy dusty old pile you will find anywhere. Avoid." Well if you do avoid you will miss what I believe to be the best gardens in Norfolk, particularly the walled garden and the recently restored old orchard. You will also miss some beautiful walks through the parkland around the lake and to the old church. Well worth visiting throughout the year to see the change of seasons. I actually rather like the house too which is a blend of the original Jacobean and 18th century extension and has a far move liveable feel that the grandeur of nearby Blickling Hall. Did a tour of the basement and attics last year which was fascinating. Tearooms in the old stable block are rather good too.

We went there about 12 years ago and, like you, I found it fascinating. There's a painting of Watson-Watt's experiment just up the road from here near Litchborough where the concept was proved by an aircraft reflecting the signals from the BBC transmitter at Daventry. I tried to point out that showing the masts in the scene was a piece of artistic licence. In fact the site was chosen precisely because the masts were obscured by (slightly) higher ground. Intention was to suggest the caption should explain that but the point was completely lost on the guy I spoke to. Interesting contrast with the museum looking at German radar near Caen https://en.normandie-tourisme.fr/museums-and-heritage-sites/station-radar-44/ http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=690217&v=e car4play690211 Mon, 06 Jul 2026 13:33:20 +0100 Sooo, off we toddle last Monday, got a site booked at CAMC Sandringham. (been to the house b4 so it wasnt part of our todo list) but we dropped in to the shop for a nosy, found Sandringham Gin at 50 quid a 1/2 litre!!!!! No thanks - more of that later. The CAMC site is great, visiting food vendors, fresh coffee stall, and from the back of our pitch an entry into the Sandringham Forest that doggy made full use of. Went to Cromer for our obligatory Crab sarnie, Sherringham for a peek at the North Norfolk Railway, Sherringham once a completely unspoiled town that resisted Tesco for years. They lost and as expected the old traditional high street list of shops is starting to dwindle. Went to NT Felbrigg Hall, a more uninspiring gloomy dusty old pile you will find anywhere. Avoid. Went to Kings Lynn. Now my previous experience with KL is of a town with Primark, pound stretchers, two gregs, two costa's and a population of tattoed overweight undesirables - But I knew of the Hanseatic League, so sought out the bit of the old town with that history. Fabulous old part, had great tapas in Marriots Warehouse on the South Quay. And found the distilery that provides the Sandringham Gin. Had a sample, decided its not special enough. We did Hunstanton, found a good pub for dinner in Dersingham, Found a Better NT place, Oxburgh estate with some fab tapestries. And then we to Plantation park between Norwich and Gt Yarmouth for a two. day dog show., Dinner at the Bridge Inn at Acle, and Fish and chips (quite good and cheap) in the second worse Seaside town in the UK - Gt Yarmouth. But But But and here is the jewel in the crown, We did the RAF Radar and Air Defense Museum https://www.radarmuseum.co.uk/ Wow, what a fab site, sat in the large control room at a console desk each, and had a talk from a guy who worked there during the cold war. Left in 23c and arrived home to 31c. But But But, http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=690211&v=e
