Another
fabulous bout of weather added to the enjoyment for those
attending the first of this year's Norton Light Railway event.
The railway was, unfortunately, beset by derailments and track
problems on the Saturday so we only managed one ride that day.
Oh dear, we had to go back again on the Sunday to get in a few more
railway journeys. It was well worth making the effort and both
days were really memorable for myself and my boys. |

The Norton Hill Light
Railway is housed at
Hall Farm, Old Church Road, Snettisham, Norfolk.
This lovely little railway usually opens to the public on three
weekends
over the school summer holidays.
Each weekend raises
money for different charitable causes.
This year the scheduled dates are 29 & 30 July, 12 & 13 August
(in aid of Campaign Care '94 and Duke of Edinburgh Award)
and 26 & 27 August (hosted by Kings Lynn Lions Club).
So far we have managed to return to enjoy a repeat visit on
Sunday, 13 August (and no problems were encountered)
and hopefully may even go again over the
late August bank holiday weekend when it is due to run again.
The July weekend was hosted by the Rotary Club of Hunstanton & District who
raised funds for Snettisham Salvation Army (catering
equipment), the Norfolk Wildlife Trust and The Lavender Hill Mob
Drama Club (who need space in the Hunstanton Town Hall) and the amount raised overall
(29 & 30
July) was around £5,000. |
