Ramblers http://www.norfolkra.org.uk/ Norfolk Area Newsletter & Walks Programme August 2019 - November 2019 UPDATE FROM THE CHAIR When editing this programme I’m always delighted to see not just the number of walks we have on offer across our county, but also the sheer variety. I hope that you enjoy browsing through the selection in this programme and please remember that your membership allows you to walk with any Ramblers group. I would like to draw your attention to Ian Mitchell’s article on page two about finding more footpath secretaries. Please do contact Ian if you have a little time you can share. Also, the Ramblers and NORAH have a new programme of history walks which we hope will build up in future years to be a significant event. Please see Julian’s article on page two.

RAMBLERS CENTRAL OFFICE The address of the Ramblers’ Central Office is: 2nd Floor, Camelford House, 87—90 Albert Embankment, London SE1 7TW Tel: 020 7339 8500, Fax: 020 7339 8501 email [email protected] Web http://www.ramblers.org.uk The Norfolk Area, Ramblers , is part of The Ramblers, a registered charity (number 1093577), and a company limited by guarantee (registration number 4458492) The Ramblers’ Norfolk Area History Walks Julian White, who is a member of the Norfolk Area Ramblers committee and a trustee of NORAH (the charity linked to Norfolk Record Office) is launching a new series of annual walks jointly organised by the two charities. This year there will be six walks and everyone is welcome to attend. The first walk is around Arminghall on Sunday 14 July 2019. It covers Arminghall Henge, a visit to Arminghall church (where refreshments are provided) and a look at the now ruined church in Bixley and we also walk by an abandoned medieval village. More details are http://www.norfolkhistorywalks.co.uk/ or e-mail Julian at [email protected]. The other walks are in Thetford on Saturday 17 August 2019, in King’s Lynn on Saturday 31 August 2019, in Great Yarmouth on Sunday 1 September 2019 and at Eccles on Saturday 21 September and Sunday 22 September 2019. Footpath Secretaries Needed This is an appeal for members to volunteer to become Footpath Secretaries in the Norfolk Area. Many areas have a patch system so that a whole county is covered by footpath secretaries. The patches could vary in size from the few parishes that might be represented by a County Councillor up to the area of a District Council. It doesn’t matter how much time you could give, help could include: (i) Getting to know the paths in a patch and their problems. (ii) Learning how to use the NCC reporting system. (iii) Knowing the access land could be useful, we can help with this. (iv) Checking and commenting on planning applications on footpaths. (v) Examining the implications of large schemes being planned. (vi) Checking rights of way orders and consultations. The volunteer would be issued with a copy of the “Blue Book” on Rights of Way law and practice. We would hope to run a course either here in Norfolk or to fund travel to a course run by Central Office. Continued support would be available from the Area Footpath Co- ordinator and other colleagues. Although not absolutely necessary to be on the internet, electronic contact would be of great assistance. It is easier to receive and look-up documents in that way. Your sources of information will be the area footpath continued on p. 15 2 Newsletter & Walks Programme August to November 2019 KING'S LYNN & DISTRICT GROUP AUGUST 2019 TO NOVEMBER 2019 Group Secretary:- Ms M Hendey Tel. 07875 632732 Walks Programme Coordinators:- Tuesdays:- Ms P Andrew Tel .07759 549273 Wednesday Short & Leisurely:- Mr A Brinsdon Tel. 01760 720070 Thursdays:- Mr H Pearce Tel. 07842 275847 Saturdays:- Ms M Hendey Tel. 07875 632732 Sundays & Programme Secretaries- Mr M & Mrs S Berman Tel. 01553 679277 Walk Details:- Walks in this programme will commence @ 10:00 unless otherwise stated, when the start time will be shown in BOLD print.

    East Harling, Norfolk, NR16 2AD STEP INSIDE

    ‘Full Of Surprises’ East Harling, Norfolk, NR16 2AD STEP INSIDE Hidden behind the quaint and charming exterior of this Grade ll Listed cottage is a surprisingly spacious home, with four reception rooms and a wonderful kitchen/breakfast room with a vaulted ceiling. The cottage also benefits from two bedrooms and a delightful garden, tucked away in the corner of the Market Place at the heart of East Harling. • Very Pretty Grade II Listed Cottage • Excellent Location in Centre of Well Served Village • Many Original Features • Four Reception Rooms • Wonderful Kitchen Breakfast Room with Vaulted Ceiling • Garden Room and Useful Store Room • Two First Floor Bedrooms • Substantial Gardens • Off Road Parking To the Front and Rear When the current owner first saw the cottage seven years ago, they were instantly impressed by its charm and character, ‘I just fell in love with it, it is a very pretty house.’ They have looked after the property with love and care and generally updated the cottage over the years, ‘We have put in new windows and doors, decorated throughout, laid a new patio in the garden and added a parking area behind the house. The cottage is deceptively spacious but there is just too much space for me now so it is time to move on.’ Thought to have been built in the 1600’s, the cottage is Grade II Listed, partly timber framed and has a pretty brick frontage. As you enter the property, there is a traditional cottage sitting room with exposed beams that cross the ceiling and an inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove, perfect for creating a warm and cosy atmosphere on a cold winter’s night.

    THE GLAVEN RIVER CATCHMENT Links Between Geodiversity and Landscape

    THE GLAVEN RIVER CATCHMENT Links between geodiversity and landscape - A resource for educational and outreach work - Tim Holt-Wilson Norfolk Geodiversity Partnership CONTENTS 1.0 Introduction 2.0 Landscape Portrait 3.0 Features to visit 4.0 Local Details 5.0 Resources 1.0 INTRODUCTION The River Glaven is partly a chalk river, of which there are more in England than any other country in the world. Chalk rivers are fed from groundwater sources in chalk bedrock, producing clear waters. Many of them have ‘winterbourne’ stretches in their headwaters, with intermittent or absent flow in summer. They have characteristic plant communities, and their gravelly beds, clear waters and rich invertebrate life support important populations of brown trout, salmon and other fish. The Stiffkey is a notable example of a chalk river in north Norfolk, and is classified as one between Edgefield Bridge (TG085363) and Glandford Bridge (TG045415). This report explains the links between geodiversity and the biological and cultural character of the river catchment. It provides a digest of information for education and interpretive outreach about this precious natural resource. Some specialist words are marked in blue and appear in the Glossary (section 5). 2.0 LANDSCAPE PORTRAIT 2.1 Topography and geology The River Glaven is a river in north Norfolk with a length of 17 km (11 miles). Its catchment drains an area of some 115 sq km, with its headwaters in the uplands of the Cromer Ridge. It is fed by several tributaries, including the Thornage Beck and Water Lane Beck, among other spring-fed sources; there are no tributaries in the lower reaches where it flows directly over chalk bedrock.
