Unfinished Business Part 2, Tuesday 22nd June 20218 walkers, 15 miles - leader Ron Williamson
A midsummer's day trip to the North Norfolk coast to complete the previously aborted 2019 visit which was a complete washout.
This year we experienced perfect walking weather with blue skies accompanied by cooling wind as we enjoyed the hillier than expected landscape. Starting from Sheringham station our route took us inland across Beeston Regis Common into Sheringham and Pretty Corner woods, before following Butts Lane to the village of Upper Sheringham. A voyage of discovery through the extensive National Trust grounds of Sheringham Park and on to Weybourne and we had reached the halfway point. All that remained was the bracing cliff top walk along the National Trail to our destination, the holiday resort of Cromer.
The last mile or so of this walk is somewhat spoilt by having to divert inland and along the main road to avoid a cliff fall which took with it a section of the coastal path. This happened some years ago so it looks like the temporary diversion has become permanent. A better alternative is to walk on the beach from the slipway at West Runton to Cromer, unfortunately not a viable option at high tide and we arrived at West Runton 15 minutes before high tide.
A long way from home and a long day but well worth the extra effort - it felt that we had been on holiday. Thanks to Greater Anglia at a bargain price cheaper for me to travel to Sheringham via London than to buy a ticket just to London!!
