Flat, flat, flat, Oh! a Windmill !!!!!!

The sun was out and our spirits were high, just a nice walk along side the river counting the Windmills as we go…..Another section of the Weavers Way to complete, in fact some of the group have almost completed it all! Stalham to Halvergate.

You have just got to love your support crew, some will even walk with you, others, well lets just put it this way, we had to go to Tesco’s in Stalham to stock up with sandwiches and snacks for this one……

Country lanes at this time of year are just starting to show signs of life, most trees and bushes are starting to bud and with the warm temperature and clear skies it was a great morning for a spring walk. Once we hit Hickling Broad we meandered along side waterways stopping at Potter Heigham to sit and eat lunch near the medieval bridge crossing the River Thurne.
Following the river, by now we had seen enough windmills to be fair but much to our surprise the repetition was interrupted by Jocky as he diverted to the Lion Inn, Thurne, for an unplanned refreshment stop, see he does have a soft spot for us really!

Continuing on our way along, what to be honest, is some pretty flat terrain only excited by some traffic dodging on the Acle straight, we sauntered into Halvergate, with some little niggling injuries which made the last few hours uncomfortable, but all completed the latest training walk in good spirits, even if the red Lion pub was closed when we arrived.
