On Saturday 12th Sept I got up real early and bused out to Acle, thence a walk that skirted the grazing marshes as far as Wickampton, just inland from River Yare. 10-miles round trip. When I related the walk to my daughter, she wanted to make the walk too. So again the early rising, this time in the rain.
The start: 📷 23/09/2020

Yea, well, the word carr does mean wet woodland. So…
Weaver’s Way 📷 23/09/2020
Weaver’s Way runs from Cromer (North Norfolk coast) to Great Yarmouth (East Norfolk coast). While some of it follows lesser-used roads, most of its 61 miles are along footpaths and other trackways

Have I said that I love reeds? I love reeds 🧡
The Fleet at Acle Marshes: 📷 23/09/2020
The Fleet forms, as it were, the main artery for this part of the draining system

At last, the cloud is breaking: 📷 23/09/2020
It wasn’t to last. But at least there was no more rain

We’re off the marsh now and we’re walking on a proper road. Single laned with some wide and deep puddles.
Sunrise? 📷 23/09/2020
It might look like sunrise, and we are looking to east. But this is 9:00 am.

What does one call a gathering of trees? A Twitter-friend of mine suggested an Ent-Moot and we decided Tolkein wouldn’t mind.

Destination reached: Wickhampton grazing marshes stretch down the river. But gates were closed, the farmer moving his cattle, so we could go no further. Myself, I was content to take photos of the clouds.
See this Tuesday Treat for flora and fungi from this and related wetland walks

Short walk tomorrow. Moueshold Heath on outskirts of Norwich. Lots of hills. Then I’m hoping to get out to Oulton & Flixton on my own on Thursday

I miss my walks. It’s so weird to find myself working every weekday (and weekend until the 11th, inclusively)
So many lovely places for you to stroll!

I woulkdn’t call Mousehold a stroll. It’s a good workout. Just not as long as the others I do.
And I feel for you, missing your walks. I know the time will come, weather will keep me in, but please, not yet

Haha! Maybe that’s because you take too many and then choosing the best of the lot can itself be a process? I do that… or did on my last vacation…oh eons ago. These photos came out nice! 🙂
