These pictures were taken on a dullish day. We had coffee (60p) in the gracious YC before joining the crowd watching the decommissioned HMS Arkan landing craft arriving after a tow from Portsmouth. *Unsure of spelling her as name painted out! Her sister ship Ex-HMS Ardennes will be towed from Rosyth a week later. Then excellent fish and chip lunch (£4.35) at Alan's Restaurant opposite the YC before returning via Oulton Broad.
