My Norfolk Adventure 2019

I cycled this route in August 2019 as a reintroduction to the world of cycle-packing.

My route starts and ends in Spooner Row but as a circular route you could join it pretty much anywhere.

There are plenty of train stations along the way if you wanted to get to the area by public transport (rail stations include Spooner Row, Wymondham, Norwich, Cromer and Gt Yarmouth).

I was beaten by the weather on day four and caught the train from Norwich to Spooner Row - that said, I don't feel too guilty as I have cycled that route many times.

I had planned a prettier southern leg that avoided Norwich but again, the weather which was pretty rubbish for August, even by UK standards.

For the most part, the route uses quiet country lanes and recognised cycle routes but some of the Peddars Way was quite overgrown and difficult terrain caused me to be bitten by the pedals on my bike twice - both times badly enough to draw blood!

I stayed at some excellent camp sites in Bircham, Weybourne and Sea Palling. I also met some lovely friendly people and managed to drink quite a large volume of beer too!
