31st October dawned misty but with a promise of sun. So, early bus out to Acle, and from Acle via tight lanes and farm-tracks to Burlingham. These photos are from the first part of the walk. Enjoy

The lane leads us between ploughed and sown fields

The lane widens as it becomes a farm-track

A small plantation of mostly native fruit trees has been planted over recent years…and a seat added for the walker’s enjoyment (but perhaps not today!)

At the open centre of the plantation knapweed and teasel vie for the sun’s attention. Guess the teasel wins!

The plantation is screened by birch…

And here we must skirt a field

And another farm-track

Love how the sun defines those lines…

Finally, our shoes muddy, we arrive at the woods

The painted posts are what remains of a pre-Covid project by the local schools and various youth groups to make the “Burlingham Henge”! They ring around that mighty oak. A shame the sun isn’t reaching here.

And here we leave the walk. To be continued next week. Hope you enjoyed.

Conveniently placed for us to rest and munch our packed lunch. Actually, this is the only walk we do where there are plentiful seats. So often we sit on a log to eat, or find a church with a porch that’s open

I love those random places to sit and snack. We have often done so on benches, or retaining walls along side a creek, or a large rock. Everything tastes so much better on a walk. 🙂

We don’t take much food, but always it includes fruit which we share. Happy to find benches, or a log, but we have sat on grassy verges. Not so good if they slope, then we’re in danger of slipping onto the road

It is. Gentle. No glute-punishing hills! But lots of mud and puddles 😊 😊 😊

I love the hedge and tree lines that define the farm plots!

Our wonderful hedgerows. Many were grubbed up with UK joined EU (because there were subsidies available) but in our little corner of UK they mostly remain. The trees were planted back in C18th/19th to provide wood for shipbuilding, but then iron replaced the wood and so the trees remain, growing stately and old

It’s kind of cool you know the reason they were put there!
