Tuesday 1st September seems so far away now. But it’s a walk I’ve not yet shared, and so I will.
At Lenwade, the village after Gt Witchingham: 1 Sept 2020
We caught a bus to Norwich, then another heading out to Fakenham, and got off at Great Witchingham where we picked up Marriott’s Way… and walked the 13 miles back to Norwich.
Marriott’s Way Railway Art: 1 Sept 2020
Marriot’s Way makes use of a disused railway track. Some of the rails have been turned into sculptures, each attached to a most uncomfortable seat.
Marriott’s Way runs mostly through woodland: 1 Sept 2020
Speed-curbing barriers warn of the approach of a road crossing
Oak leaves in the sun: 1 Sept 2020
Pylons march across the pastures: 1 Sept 2020
Two passions in one: Pylons and Rivers. This is the Wensum. Marriott’s Way crosses and recrosses it many times on the way to Norwich
Attlebridge: 1 Sept 2020
The level crossing gate at Attlebridge. This used to be my furthest walk along Marriott’s Way. Now… peanuts!
Ash leaves in the sun: 1 Sept 2020
The sun did shine strongly. Not the best condition for woodland photos.
And once out of the woodland, the sun hid behind clouds
One of the many bridges over the Way: 1 Sept 2020
1 Sept 2020
Only 8 miles to go…
Random art: 1 Sept 2020
I don’t know the origin of this, but it’s characteristic of the Way
1 Sept 2020
Wow!!!! Go walkers, go!
River Tud at Costessey: 1 Sept 2020
The Tud is the most excellent of paddling streams. Here it is nearing its confluence with the Wensum at Hellesdon
Hellesdon: 1 Sept 2020
The last road to cross. From here on the roads fly over while the Way crosses bridge after bridge over the Wensum. But I’ve covered this section so many times, I shan’t repeat it here. See Sunday Picture Post: Bridging the Wensum posted 2nd August 2020
Just note: two and a half miles to Norwich
My last shot of the Wensum as it approaches the bridge on Mile Cross Road, Norwich.
And was I tired at the end?
Nope.
Did I ache?
Perhaps my back twinged a bit.
Were my feet sore?
Naa…yes, I confess. But only the right one
Photos of flowers and fungi from this walk and others (5th & 9th September) can be seen in “Tuesday Treat” (on Tuesday!)

Gotta get the walks in before the weather fails. Strengthen my legs. It’s taken ages to get them back to strengthen following that 13-yr illness and then the back injury. Don’t want to be in that place again. Wanna be moving.

Thank you. The Wensum is a beautiful river and it’s clean for we have no polluting industries feeding into it. It meanders (wends) over chalklands, which helps keep it cleaner still

Well, it is across the grazing marshes, with decaying windmills that make it look like the Netherlands. It is a beautiful place. We take it for granted, forgetting that other people pay to come here.

Oh woww, it does sound so beautiful~ decaying structures are always so mysterious (ngl, I’m fond of everything old and forgotten) And yes, everything has beauty, we only have to observe it, I guess?

I walked out to an old mill on Saturday with intent to take photos and found it lost beneath the ivy. That will feature on a Sunday Picture Post… eventually

Enjoyed the railroad art. Reminds me how the Union soldiers would rip up the rails in the South and bend them around trees – Sherman’s Neckties.
