Help needed 'Norfolk'.

I recall seeing vehicles with tractor-sized wheels taking visitors on trips through the sea (to an island) somewhere on the north Norfolk coast.

Does this ring a bell? Where was it?

My son and his family are going camping near Cromer in ten days time and I have been trying to find details.

Found it - it's at Hunstanton, and uses 'DUKW' type vehicles to visit a sandbank in the Wash where seals haul out.

I'm sure it was featured on here - but not necessarily this same one.

I posted a picture of the same type of vehicle back in Feb 2013 and you commented on it the 12th of Feb with full details of its specifications and performance. It might possibly be that this is what you were thinking of G-C.

I hope it's more "seaworthy" than the ones at Albert Dock, Liverpool.
