  • North Norfolk Woodland Walks
    North Norfolk Woodland Walks So many lovely walks to choose from! North Norfolk is blessed with lovely natural landscapes and a range of diverse coastal and inland woodland walks to enjoy throughout the year. A haven for wildlife, they provide a chance to experience the delights of nature through the changing seasons, from bluebells in spring through leafy shade in summer, to glorious displays of colour in autumn and crisp frost effects in winter. Some of these woods are managed by North Norfolk District Council, others are owned by bodies such as the Forestry Commission, the Norfolk Wildlife Trust, or the National Trust. Each one is a special place, and all are open dawn till dusk. Green Flag Woods Three North Norfolk woods managed by North Norfolk District Council have been given Green Flag status under the prestig- ious Keep Britain Tidy award scheme. Green Flag awards are given to parks which are kept clean and are easy to access and navigate, with signs and information boards. They also hold family friendly community events such as treasure hunts or photography competitions. Please see the North Norfolk Dis- trict Council website for details. 1 Holt Country Park NR25 6SP A Green Flag woodland managed by North Norfolk Dis- trict Council, with easy paths and a sculpture trail, and a seasonal visitor centre.

  • October 2016
    1 THE EASTERLING JOURNAL OF THE EAST ANGLIAN WATERWAYS ASSOCIATION VOLUME NINE, NUMBER SIXTEEN OCTOBER 2016 Edited by Alan H. Faulkner 43 Oaks Drive, Colchester, Essex CO3 3PS Phone 01206 767023 E-mail [email protected] A TRIP UP THE NORTH WALSHAM & DILHAM CANAL In the first week of May the Wayfarer Broads Cruise involving four boats was successful in voyaging up the canal, passing through Tonnage Bridge and reaching the junction with the East Ruston Branch. It was not an easy trip – indeed prior to this the last two crews who had ventured up the canal in larger boats had been thwarted by trees at Tonnage Bridge. Overhanging trees were still a problem with this latest cruise but they were able to sail the last stretch up to East Ruston Staithe which had been de-silted a couple of years ago. A head wind coupled with the opposing current and restriction to the channel made further progress up to Honing Lock too difficult by boat and was explored on foot. 2 Four boats, all 16ft Wayfarer class dinghies, were involved – Wuffa crewed by Mike & Helen Playle, Ullathorne (Charles & Clare Ferrar), Somewhen (Larissa Barker & Mary Mallard) and Josh (James Scott & Bob Tarn). The boats optimistically entered the canal with their masts and sails up but they were unable to dodge the trees. They did, however, manage to sail along the East Ruston branch. Top: Sailing up the canal and showing the difficulties of navigating through the trees. Bottom: Tied up on the East Ruston branch. (Pictures courtesy of Michael Playle.) 3 The Association has always attached considerable importance to trips like this on the lower section of the canal towards Honing Lock.
