On the 27th of June there will be a 10 mile walk starting and finishing in Hunstanton (the walk is a circular tour of the North West corner of Norfolk). And, strarting and stopping in Hunstanton there will be an opportunity for Ice Cream/Beer/Fish and Chips etc. The drive from Norwich to Hunstanton is about 1 hour 30mins. So, I am going to start this walk at 11:00.
Details about where we will park will follow (and this post will be updated soon). I want to check out the options (given that we will be there on a, possibly hot, Saturday).
Hope to see you there.
Graham

I would like to come on this walk.
If anyone is going from the Thorpe side of town can I catch a lift with you? Otherwise, Graham can I meet you somewhere on your side of Norwich and go with you?
Thanks
Paula

I'll be at this one (hoping for fish and chips, beer and ice cream).
Can Graham confirm though that we won't look like ramblers? :)

Changing your mind?
It's like you're using a forecourt to change your mind.
You think you're Rod Stewart?

Hannah- I think you should be asking if it is a friendly dog walk
If we are walking on the beach I don't know what the rules are this time of year regarding dogs though.
Graham help me out here  |

The beach at Old Hunstanton is recommended as dog friendly, but they are banned on the main beach from the power boat ramp to the promenade at this time of year, so depends on the route.
Henry is an extremely friendly dog. Unless you are a bunny . Any bunny girls coming on the walk? |

Hi Graham -
We can't come on this one but hope the weather holds for you all - it's a lovely walk, especially the bit across Ringstead Downs !
Have fun,
Amy & David |

Hi Graham,
I was all set to go on this one until I realised it's Saturday and not Sunday. I'd like to go, but may be in London - will let you know nearer the time. If I do go I'll be able to offer lifts.

All,
well, I reccy'ed this walk ... its really lovely (esp the bit through Ringstead downs, SE of Hunstanton). But, there is a bit of everything, the beach, leafy lanes, the downs and dunes at the end. For parking, at Holme-next-the-sea (about 1 mile from Hunstanton) have a look at:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=holme+next+the+sea&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=11.071054,19.775391&ie=UTF8&ll=52.964735,0.526056&spn=0.001376,0.002414&t=h&z=18
Or, Grid reference TF697436 on ordnancesurvey.co.uk
Zoom out to figure out your directions from Norwich (allow 1.5 hours from city centre). We'll meet to start the walk at 11.00
I can take 3 from Drayon/Taverham. Please email if you want a lift (see my last posting for suggestion of where to park in Drayton)
Re: dog friendliness. This is high  . At the start of the walk there is a kiosk ... with free dog biscuits. Though, there are a couple of places the dog should be on a leash.
Regarding lunch, I propose we find somewhere suitable about half way. (there is a pub at around the half way point who I asked if they would mind us buying drinks and eating our lunch ... they said they'd rather not host us  ). But, a lot of the countryside is nice enough for an impromptu stop.
Oh, and parking costs £3 for the day.
My mobile is 07900 886864. But, if at all possible, please confirm by posting on Friday night. The orange network coverage is poor nr Hunstanton .. See you on Saturday.
Graham

It's official then- England is anti-ramble  |

Hi Graham,
unfortunately my father has died in Spain and I have extended my stay and won´t be able to make this walk. See you on another one.

Andrew,
I wouldn't think we would be back much before 5:30/6 (maybe longer if people want a drink afterwards)
Cheers,
Graham |
