With all the rain we have had over the past few weeks and last weeks walk being cancelled due to the rain, I was delighted to wake up to a dry windy morning here in Norfolk.

As I had arranged to go walking up the Norfolk Coast with my friend T.

T picked me up at 11 am and we headed off to Heacham, where the plan was to walk to Thornham along the Coastal pathÂ

We could not have picked a better day for it as I love coastal walking in the wind it makes me feel fresh and alive 🙂

We sat and ate our lunch in the sand dunes near old Hunstanton while watching all the Kite surfers enjoying the surf, which reminded me that Geoff would like a month out here to have another go at kite surfing.

I especially like the boardwalk through Holme Dunes, far too soon we reached the Lifeboat Inn in Thornham where we enjoyed a nice cup of tea before catching the coasthopper bus back to Hunstanton.

From Hunstanton we walked back to Heacham making it a very enjoyable 12 miles, with lots of girly chatter 🙂

With Geoff still away in Les Gets my plan for the weekend was to stay home and save some petrol, but it didn’t quite work out that way..

I received an e-mail from a friend, who was hoping to catch up with me,on my usual Sunday walk with The Cambridge Rambling Club.

I only go on these walks from Cambridge as the location is usually too far from Kings Lynn, but desperate to catch up with my friend , the walking group and have a good walk, I broke my rule and decided to go from here…

Luckily the walk was not impossible to get too, in fact it was just over an hours drive to West Stow Country park, well worth the effort too 🙂

Larry led us on a fantastic 15 mile walk with very little mud for this time of year and considering how cloudy and damp it had been in the week, it was great to blow the cobwebs away and get out on a nice sunny winters day.

Our route took us by a Water Tower that had been converted into a stunning looking house , which amazingly was featured on Britain’s empty homes this morning.

I may not have saved any petrol but I had a fantastic day and chatted non stop for around 5 hours !

Hope your New Year got off to a good start, we started ours by doing something we love..  walking  !

A nice 15 mile walk with Cambridge Rambling Club, around Stow Cum Quy, in very mild weather conditions, infact it was hard to believe it was January 1st.

Celia provided us with a delish morning snack, of home made Stollen,something that I am going to try making this year.

My walking milage for 2011 is very aprox at around 900 miles and my running milage was aprox 100 miles ,this year I am going to try and keep a better record of my miles walked and ran, I aim to do more running 🙂

Wishing good things for us all in 2012 !

Its amazing how many people turn out for a figure of eight walk, this mean they can drop out at lunch time but still get a good walk.

Today was a record turn out with 23 walkers, which included 4 new walkers, one of them being a lady I picked up in the pub on Friday 🙂

Its great that the new web site is starting to work and more walkers are finding out about the Cambridge Rambling Club.

Rita led us on a great walk around Wimpole Hall, 9 miles in the morning followed by 7 miles in the afternoon,the weather stayed dry and we even had a touch of sunshine in the afternoon.

So the 12 people that left us at lunch time, missed walking in the afternoon sun, well done to Cathryn , the only new walker that stayed the distance 🙂

Only 2 more walking Sunday’s till Christmas !

Yesterday we were back out walking with The Cambridge Rambling club.

Celia led us on a great 14 mile walk round the fens on a fresh and foggy morning

We started at Willingham and followed the footsteps of Hereward the Wake and Oliver Cromwell along ancient causeways and river banks.

I loved the fact that you could visit the Old Riverview Inn for home baked bread, baked in an hour, while you wait 🙂
