Trans Norfolk solo stint today. From a rainy camp site in Stiffkey on the top coast to Burgate a few miles south of the Suffolk border. I went as the crow flies more or less. Scribbled a crib sheet plotting little b roads and villages all the way. The closest I came to 'civilisation' was Dereham... Insert mid Norfolk based wittisisms here.
A head wind all the way meant no freewheeling (perhaps a couple of hundred yards in total), so I basically ground out a 16.5 average (which is actually alright for me). The roads were quiet and pretty, the Roman straights were long and blustery and the one shop which was open after Dereham had Rowntree Randoms. BBQ rack of lamb at my parents place with my camping chums will top it all off nicely!
