Marham is the worst place I've been to.

I'm surprised there's nothing outside the camp, nothing. No restaurant, cafe, takeaway or pub. Just the typical Spar shop across the road from the MQ's. At least Coningsby has something in its village.

If you don't have a car you're screwed as civilisation isn't within walking distance. Theres no train station and the bus takes a circular tour around the whole of Norfolk before it eventually arrives at King Lynn a considerable time later. Theres no train in the straight line from Kings Lynn to Norwich, you have to go way south, change trains, then come back north-east.

The A17 road out of there is not fit for purpose as it can't handle the volume of traffic, getting to the A1 on a friday is a bad experience.

The biggest memory I have of Marham is, peoples highlight of their week was sitting in the small lounge of bowling alley on a friday.
