The walk took us (me and two housemates) along Wherrymans Way, the long distance footpath that runs from Norwich to Great Yarmouth, and I have to say what a lovely route it is. We started in Norwich at Whittlingham Country Park and walked, in the most part along the river, through to Brammerton (past a lovely looking pub that I would love to visit on a future walk) and ultimately through to Surlingham. Here we stopped and walked back the way we came - not wanting to contend with Sunday train services we decided the 'there and back' approach was best. I would love to explore Wherrymans Way further though as the views and surrounding were fantastic (except for the clay pigeon shoot we passed - the noises from this did make us a little nervous). I'm trying to find someone who might like to tackle the full 30 miles of this route with me - so far no takers.....
Sadly one element of the walk is something I would not like to repeat, that would be the couple of minutes, just out of Norwich, it takes to walk past a sewage treatment plant. A few posts previosuly I wrote of one walk where we took the wrong route and found our path bloacked by a sewage outlet pipe, I think I've found its source. I really don't think I could put into words just how bad the smell was, I'm just grateful I didn't do this walk the weekend before when it was a lot warmer.....still, an adventure I suppose.
