Put on your hikers, pack your lunch, and don’t forget plenty of water. We’re gonna go walking the coastal route.
We start at the Ravine, North Lowestoft, which takes us down the cliff, to the sea. Foot traffic crosses above us…
Bridge over the Ravine: 29 June 2020
Ragged groynes and concrete slabs = sea defences: 29th July 2020
To our right the sea, to our left the cliffs…
Cliff clothed in greenery: 29 June 2020
Lo! The sun: 29 June 2020
Tree lupin (shrubby shrub): 29 June 2020
Tree lupin grows here in yellow-full abundance
Biting Stonecrop: 229 June 2020
Stonecrop is one of the lowest growing plants of the dune community
A little copse here of evergreen oak (aka Hom Oak): 29 June 2020
Dryads Saddle: 29 June 2020
The queen of the fungi rides again…
WWII installation: 29 June 2020
Listed & protected building come in all shapes. This was part of Britain’s defences in WWII
Moss and lichen paint the dunes in bright colours: 29 June 2020
Spot the fauna: 29 June 2020
We don’t very often see the caterpillars. This one’s a nobby one.
Where do those steps lead: 29 June 2020
Arguably the path less travelled…
I have yet identified: 29 June 2020
(I think it’s soapwort)
Most unexpected, midway down the cliff, growing amongst the furze, an orchid: 29m June 2020
We’ve reached Gunton, and my camera-battery has failed me. And so join me next week when we’ll complete the walk (but in reverse)

The back is repaired. I canwalk again. Get a good speed going, cover more distance. And I’ve just bought new hiker-shoes. Roadtested them this afternoon. They’re great for striding out. Not sure about dawdling… 🙂

Thank you. More to come next week. It is a beautiful part of our coast, and very varied in environments… but also dangerous because of cliff falls and inrushing tides.

And yesterday I used all three batteries and came home with just under 500 photos. Drat. Now I have to process them, if only to crop or delete.
