Monthly Monday Walks # 15 MONTHLY MONDAY WALKS # 15 MONDAY 18th FEBRUARY 2019 Start and Finish: Layby at Church Road, Trimingham. This is the Coast Road that runs between Cromer and Mundesley Weather: Started off with a very weak effort at sunshine, soon moved into February grey. Slight drizzle for last mile and a half. My Garmin says it was 10 degrees, but it felt a bit chilly at times. Walkers: Gus Williams, Paul Marcus Loveday and The Dawg, Andy Haggith, Bernie and Ann Kerrison, Malcolm Page, Phil Beaumont, Andrew Haggith, Bryon and Chris Sparkes, Gary and Nicola Corbett. And a warm welcome to a new walker Robin Allard and his dawg Henry. Firstly a welcome to a new walker, Robin Allard and the lovely Henry. Shame we had a bit of rain for your first walk Robin, and I hope this will not prevent you from joining us again. This review will be short and sweet. Off to sunnier climes on Thursday and I have a lot to squeeze in before then. So, we gathered in the layby just on the western edge of Trimingham village, opposite the ‘new?’ Village Hall. Mr Haggith was early, second time in a row—can he keep it up for the rest of the year? Some of the group had stopped off for breakfast on the way, but arrived on time and full of tea and bacon butty! Well done you. We crossed the busy Coast Road and made our way southeast along Staden Park, a cul de sac that caused Bernie some trouble, he thought we had no way out at the end, but there is an overgrown path that gives access out onto Cromer Road. Here we joined the Paston Way which we followed all the way to the southern edge of Nor- threpps. The first part of the walk was on the road, it was quiet apart from one huge tanker truck that eased its way past us at a snails pace. This part of the walk is a gradual downhill to a very small stream which I think must be a tributary of Mundesley Beck. Once across the stream we started uphill, (that’s a Norfolk uphill—a slope in other words), past Ashtree Farm the a sharp right hand turn and downhill again to Lodge Farm. Here we left the road and made our way northwest along a broad grassed track with a well trimmed laurel hedge to our right. Uphill again then a right turn onto another wide track which I think is called the Empire Way. We followed this track to pass Frogshall Farm House where we spotted a pair of memorial plaques, both commemorating people from South Africa. We crossed a road then carried on to turn right and walked past a large house, an old rectory, then onto the road again. Here we left the Paston Way and walked into Northrepps Village and lunch. Lunch was taken at the Foundry Arms pub. (Did anyone notice the pub sign? I’m sure it was spelt incorrectly “Foundary” - or was it I my imagination). Anyway, after quite a speedy lunch stop we left the village and made our way up Hungry Hill by road to the top of the hill then we turned off and rejoined the Paston Way. A nice grass footpath led us to the Radar Station (where it started to rain), then down hill again through the woods to the coast road at Overstrand. Here we took the road for a hundred yards or so then turned off at Manor Farm to climb up to the cliff tops, now heading southeast. We walked for about a mile on the cliff tops, and I was amazed at the level of new subsid- ence. The footpath has had to move inland, and Farmer Palmer is loosing arable land by the acre. The view out to sea was misty and grey, not at all inviting. We turned right to leave the Paston Way and made our way inland past the Pond Plantation then across a muddy field back to the cars. TODAYS NUMBERS Total Miles: 6.71. Total Elevation gained: 128 feet. Total Walking Time: 2hrs 34mins. Entire walk: 3hrs 18mins. NEXT WALK MONDAY 25TH MARCH 2019—10.30am I fancy a bit of the North Norfolk Coast Path for March walk. It’s one we’ve done before but I think it will suffice. Start at layby outside church in Burnham Deepdale, finish at the Victoria Hotel, Holkham. Bus back to Deepdale so bring your bus passes. Café opposite the layby does a good fry up and excellent coffee. Those that did it last time will remember that we start out across the salt marshes then the dunes and finish off in the belt of trees and Lady Ann’s Drive. PROBLEMS Ladies and Gentlemen, Please forgive this review as it is late and is in an unfamiliar format—i.e. photo at end and no caption. This was due to my Outlook e-mail account becoming corrupted and I have had to build a new account. I have managed to retain the same e-mail address as you will see and will carry on as usual from now Fingers crossed. Gus. .

Here’s your chance to hire an inflatable kayak. If you are wondering what the difference is between a kayak and a canoe, in a kayak the paddler is seated and uses a double-bladed paddle pulling the blade through the water on alternate sides to move forward. In a canoe, the paddler usually kneels or sits on a raised seat and uses a single-bladed paddle to propel the boat forward. Kayak hire costs £20 for a half day and includes buoyancy aids, paddle and a safety briefing. The kayaks are available to hire on Saturdays and Sundays, either 10am or 1pm and must be booked in advance. The kayaks take up to 2 adults and 1 child (200kg) per boat. Of course, if you do indeed own your own canoe you are welcome to enjoy the tranquillity of the Canal. Call 07585 160 772 to book a kayak. --oOo-- Trust Chair, Ivan answers a recent recurring question:- So Just What is Going on at Ebridge? Sixty or so years ago, when the Mill was still using the Millpond as a water supply, the old lock gates were starting to fail, so cement bags were piled up against the old gates, maintaining the water level.

  • (Ldps) and Green Pilgrimage I
    Norfolk Long Distance Paths and Green Pilgrimage Norfolk Long Distance Paths and Green Pilgrimage I have been asked to consider Long Distance Paths (LDPs) and Green Pilgrimage in Norfolk, in the light of the current Walsingham Way project; and to explore if any of the existing LDPs lend themselves to development as Green Pilgrimage Routes. Sections 1. to 3. are straight forward. Section 4. is more speculative. Finally, section 5. identifies possible areas for future collaboration. Because of a multitude of hyperlinks this paper is best read on a digital device. 1. The Walsingham Way The recovery of Walsingham as a pilgrimage destination during the 20th Century, after its suppression in the 16thC, was something of a surprise. Today, it is (probably) the most popular pilgrim destination in the U.K. A modern Walsingham Way for cyclists and walkers, approximating to the medieval route while avoiding the noise and danger of busy roads, will be welcome. 1. i. Deep England Landscapes - Norwich, has its own pilgrimage destinations – two cathedrals, Edith Cavell’s grave, Mother Julian’s cell and the site of the Lollards’ Pit to name but four. It is a good starting point for the route (but see 3. i below) and has sufficient public transport links to allow green pilgrims a small carbon footprint. The new Walsingham Way will be green in two senses, it will be easy on the environment and leads through the heart of a ‘green and pleasant land’ (William Blake). Blake’s poem has the power to move thousands of English hearts when sung at Twickenham before home international matches.
