2nd March 2021, not the warmest of days. Mist hangs heavy all day. But we’re geared up for the walk, so we’ll do it.
Starting at North Lowestoft where the sea has swallowed the beach…
We keep to the prom…
As at Gorleston just north of here, the sea has carved channels and mini cliffs into the beach over recent months
The tides have exposed hard black oil, remains of an oil-tanker disaster in the English Channel in 1978
We decide to leave the beach and climb the cliffs the easy way…
Looking back down… such a misty day, it isn’t clearing
Atop the cliffs is heathland…
We leave the cliffs to meander through a woodland…
But even here this mist is holding. Oh well, back to the cliffs… and more of that wretched oil. You can see the fluted edge of the old sea-defences. All gone. Violent tides here now with much cliff erosion
We reach Hopton where much has been done to stop the erosion…
Looking towards Gorleston, invisible in the mist… this would be our normal walk, but we decide to take a “drier” way.
At Gorleston the picture is the same. Mist. No vistas. Cold. Damp. From there we catch the bus back to Great Yarmouth
We came upon several signs of new life, but I’m saving those for Tuesday! Hope you enjoyed this rather chilly, misty March walk
Nice pictures!

It was a lovely misty walk. The seas are ferocious in your neck of the woods!

They are not placid seas. Although there are times… usually when you want to take interesting photos of waves crashing

Always a good walk, that one. And very seldom warm.
