17th February 2024, after lots and lots of rain, we hopped a bus into Norwich and walked out along Marriott’s Way, ultimately to Costessey, which isn’t that far away. In last week’s post we stopped as we reached the city bounds. Put on your hikers, we’re off again…

As with the river Wensum, the little Tud has broken its banks…

We leave Marriott’s Way to walk through a recreation ground which once was quarried for aggregates for road-building…

All is flooded…

The Tud flows through a very old bridge… no traffic allowed

In the distance the flooded water-meadows of the Wensum…

And here in the woods we sit awhile amongst the snowdrops and daffodils and listen to a woodpecker peck
Hope you’ve enjoyed. More photos of this walk on Tuesday

Thank you, Sadje. Myself, I’m looking forward to green trees now. Feels like the brown of winter has been with us for far too long

Lovely walk, and that bench looks very inviting – I love to hear woodpeckers.

When I lived in that area, I never used to pay any attention to woodpeckers pecking. But now I’m only a visitor, it’s such an evocative sound
