Getting ready for next stage

Friday 14th Mar
Nan has got the bacon ready for tomorrow’s breakfast to get us off to  a good start. In the morning we will drive back to our start point which is the trig point near Great Massingham where we finished last time. We should be able to finish Peddars way tomorrow then we can start the Norfolk coast path on Sunday. Keep looking at our page for new updates and photos

Rendezvous at the A47

Sunday 2nd Mar
Nan met us with extra drinks and treats. We sat in the car to eat our lunch and have a well earned rest. Nan will make sure we get across the A47 then it’s a pretty straight road to Castle Acre (a sign here says 2.5 miles). That’s the end of stage 2 but we are hoping to do a few extra miles to round it up to 30 and even out the distances.

Setting off on stage 2 Peddars way

Sunday 2nd Mar
Another frosty morning but sun shining so we’re off. Nan brought a book with her this morning to swap in the phone box book swap.

Stage one complete!

Saturday 1st Mar
15.5 miles completed and made it to Little Cressingham phone box

Should have been a photo here

Setting off from Knettishall Heath

Saturday 1st Mar
We set off at around 9:30 from Knettishall Heath for the first stage of our walk. It’s a frosty and foggy morning. Mum and Nan met us at the B1066 as it was very foggy there so made sure we got across safely. We encountered flooded boardwalk near the river Thet and have unfortunately filled our boots! The fog is lifting now and nice blue sky. Ban and mum will see us across the A11 then we’ll be fine to our destination, Little Cressingham 

Getting prepared

Tuesday 25th Feb
Nan has let people know about our challenge today. We start on Saturday at Knettishall and do the first leg of the Peddars way. Let’s hope the weather is dry
