How terribly European.
I'd say that you need therapy!
Probably beer in one of its many forms

I know it's not beer. You aren't the first to say I need therapy though.

Good mates are a very acceptable substitute, I find.

The Rebellion Way appears to be a bit north of here, being Norfolk based, but the weather would most likely be the same - mixed and most definitely in the lucky dip category*. Bring waterproofs, sunscreen, shorts & thermals no matter what time of year you do it. The worst problem you may face is the wind (especially on the North Norfolk coast) as it's relatively flat and with not too many hedges to act as wind breaks with all the open fields. See also below regarding temperature variations with different areas. I've done some of the roads to the south west of Norwich (Diss, Thetford, Attleborough) and you will need to beware that the narrow roads can be in a poor state, especially after rain, as it's a sandy soil with plenty of fun off from the fields.
*Two Sundays ago I was at Snetterton and was quite cold on the spectator banks, went for a gentle bike ride and less than 10 miles away in Attleborough I was overheating with two fewer layers.

Turns out it was just a flying visit and they probably stopped at Felixstowe for just as long as it took for the steam engine to be put into neutral (or whatever they do) and for the diesel engine at the rear/now front to engage gear and head back up the line. Less than 5 minutes after I posted that, it reappeared on the freight passing loop as the normal passenger service was pulling into Trimley station. I presume they took the freight cut through to the main line nothbound just outside Ipswich so that it could resume running down to London with the steam engine back at the front.
Photo nicked from the local rag - this is on the way to Felixstowe with the freight passing loop the line on the left which also forms part of the track to the Walton & North railfreight terminals on the Dock <removes anorak>.

I'd have demanded double time plus danger money for having to go there.
Plus a boat given today's weather in this part of the country.
It was a tad splashy along the A146...

Good morning.
As is often the case we seem to be getting your second hand weather: it's absolutely pishing it down

Yes, although I wouldn't use WD40.
