So the day of departure has arrived and we are in Great Yarmouth ready to set off tomorrow on our big walk around Norfolk. I've never been to this part of the country before, and to be honest I'm not quite sure what to expect - other than it's flat. When Rob was printing out the maps he thought that the printer had broken because there was no shading, but the printer was fine, there just isn't enough elevation or contour lines to register on the mapping software.
The train journey from Manchester went fine, although it took a very long time on very slow trains that changed the direction they faced numerous times, and on the last bit of the journey the carriages were so old fashioned that the doors had to be opened using the handle on the outside, by lowering the window. We saw deer, bunnies and buzzards and another bird of prey and there was binocular-regret.
We have been for a walk along the seafront, running the seagull gauntlet.
The view from our hotel room of old trucks, including des horse res, as there is a vintage car rally on this weekend.
The other bird of prey could have been a Red Kite - there's quite a few of them about in Norfolk these days. Did you happen to notice if it had a forked tail?
