27th March having dawned bright, we bused to Norwich, thence to walk Marriott’s Way, to as far as we cared. Last week we left the walk as we reached the city bounds. Beyond that boundary, there lies Costessey. Come walk with us…

We’ve been weaving over and alongside the Wensum, but here is the Tud, a much smaller river for tiddlers to swim in and toddlers to paddle.

It flows through what is now a recreation ground but in my long ago young days was a raw-looking old gravel diggings

A certain ‘steepness’ reveals the history

And it’s back to Marriott’s Way. We’ll catch the bus home from the next village

And again we join the Wensum. If the Tud is for toddlers to paddle, this one’s for young teens to plunge into and swim (as I did, back in the day)

The last bridge before we leave the Way, and another boundary crossed.

Heading now for the bus with the camera’s hunger thoroughly sated. Hope you enjoyed.
