Trip to Norfolk

On  Monday we went to the beach at Sherringham. I love the bustle of seaside resorts with all the little shops and attractions . Sherringham also has a steam railway  and a miles of cliff top walks . We went for a run up the coast and then returned for a swim in the sea .The water was wonderfully refreshing after getting hot and sweaty running.

We did a couple of long runs in the Norfolk countryside finding some good routes south of Norwich.
 The Boudicca Way is a well waymarked trail from Norwich to Diss; we did the first section then joined up with the Tas Valley Way(which goes from Norwich to Attleborough)  northwards  then jigged west to Heatherset where a well earned beer and a barbecue awaited us.
 It was a lovely hot day but we were surprised and dismayed at he lack of pubs in the villages; we only wanted a cup of tea but there was none to be had in about 25 miles of running! The villages were delightful , ancient flint walled churches and thatched cottages, beautiful greens and plenty of trees but it is a shame that most cannot sustain any local services such as a pub or shop. They are casualties of the modern car based world where the city is only a few minutes away on an ugly dual carriageway.
Now we are back home in rainy Scotland. Work tomorrow!
