Camping with Trains, Yaxham, Norfolk - 29th August 2010

It's another outing for The Van, this time to the village of Yaxham near Dereham in Norfolk. The nearby Mid-Norfolk Railway happens to run right alongside the edge of the site, so there's a bit of a train thing going on, especially as we take a trip from Dereham to Wymondham Abbey and back courtesy of a steam train and some 80s rolling stock.
