23 March (0736-1450)
Distance: 15.5 miles (New Hainford to Swanton Morley)
Weather: wall-to-wall sunshine
Having taken our life into our hands by following an A road for a mile, back onto farm land we went. There were some massive fields! (And another gorgeous blue sky, which explained the ice on the tent again.)
A disused railway line gave easy, traffic free walking, and for once it hadn’t been given a tarmacked surface. The downside of the lovely dirt surface was that I didn’t hear the runner approaching until he was immediately alongside me. I jumped almost as high as those trees.
One of the many bodies of water at Lenwade, once again set off nicely by the colour of the sky.
Thanks to the plethora of permissive paths around Norfolk, we were able to take a short-cut to our night-stop, where we were the only camping residents that night. It was warm enough when we arrived to sit out and get everything aired. In fact, having hand washed our clothes, I also got most of them dry in the late afternoon sunshine. The sky was indicating that it was going to be another cool night, though.

There are so many old railway lines in Norfolk. Its a shame they are gone now. But they make for good walks now and then. Enjoying the photos.
