O yes I did, o yes! And it was just stunning. The 5+ hour drive up to Norfolk went by surprisingly quickly, although quite how I don’t know. I was stuck in traffic, held up by accidents, and crawling through the endless roadworks.

But despite all of that, I got there — and Cromer Pier did not disappoint. Ooo she is a beauty!

I initially met up with Andrew Banner, a really nice guy, a very talented vlogger on YouTube, and photographer/videographer with a great eye. More than that, he’s just a good man to chat with — especially when the conversation turns to all things photography.

There’s something about Cromer Pier that draws you in. The structure, the sea, the atmosphere — it all combines to create something timeless. Standing there with my camera in hand, and after talking shop with Andrew, I was reminded once again why I love these long trips so much.

Sometimes, the journey is a test of patience, but the destination makes every minute worthwhile. Cromer Pier was one of those moments — the kind that lingers long after the shutter clicks.
