We'll be coming to Norfolk early on Saturday. Never been there before so two questions:
- any suggestions for places to visit (I hear Hunstanton itself is nice)
- any hotel recommendations near the start of your route ?

Andy,
OoooooooOOooo, Hmmmm.
Depends what you're looking for:
Hunstanton is nice but to be honest I've only been a few times and don't know any hotels, etc. Always seems a little "biddy" to me...
What sort of things are you interested in? My wife and I spend most of our weekend trips looking at castles (and other English Heritage and National Trust properties). Castle Acre (just North of Swaffham) is superb. Do steer clear of Kings Lynn if you can. Sandringham (near Dersingham) is the home of our lovely Queenie and is certainly worth a visit. Norwich is also worth a visit as we have two cathederals and a huge castle (as well as many shops for Maryam). If you fancy a hotel closer to Norwich then look up Dunston Hall (it's a DeVere). I think Jack_ako, AdamsS2K and myself will be driving in convoy to Hunstanton from Norwich early on the Sunday morning so you can join us.
Call me on my mobile (number on all my e-mails) or e-mail me direct if I can be of further assistance.
I am free all day on the Saturday but my wife is out on the Saturday night - otherwise I would like to join you "if" you want a cheap tour guide (OK a free one).
Are you going home on the Sunday or Monday? My wife and I would like to go out on the Sunday night (if you stay)....
Minvo.

Thanks Steve
I'll find out what the boss wants to do and come back to you. I guess a lot will depend on the weather (which I hope you have already booked to be dry and sunny)
Realistically we'll have to leave early evening Sunday at the latest.

Would love to do this Jack, want to drive with you again but it is the nearest weekend to my grandson's and my birthday, we're twins. 
My son's birthday is the day before ours.
Have been keeping my cards close to my chest, I won't declare until I am sure that I don't have family responsibilities.

It's now perzactly a month to go 'til the "North Norfolk Coast Run" (aka Norfolk Nod) and, OK I will admit plans are nearing the slightly lightly pencilled in stage for a vauge idea of what "Norfolk Nod II - the revenge of the Smith" could be (if the 1st one is a sucess, that is).
More on this may even be revelaed once MQ has agreed (in principle) that driving an S2000 around the North Norfolk Coast is way, Way, WAY more important, nay - exciting than a silly birthday party could ever be (oh, OK I conceed - the party IS more important).
In addition to this = Jack_ako - maybe you could organise a Yarmuff meet !?!
Either way - I'm sure our paths will cross again this year, hopefully many times...
