Six Wheelers set out from Pretty Corner into a rising south-westerly on a bright, fresh late summer morning. The longer outward leg of 35.5 miles (from PC) went by way of the direct route to Stody and the familiar villages to Hindringham and Walsingham. From the war memorial it was the stiff climb out of the Stiffkey valley to Egmere, the long descent into the Burn valley at South Creake, the long drag over Bloodgate Hill to Syderstone, the rolling lanes to North Pole crossroads and the last short section over Tofts Hill to Bircham windmill cafe. Over some excellent food, shared with the usual late summer wasps, the conversation focused on Mike Burrows and on acquiring new bikes. The stiff tailwind home was well worth waiting for on a route travelling via Stanhoe, North Creake, South Holkham, Wighton, Binham, Langham, Wiveton Downs, Salthouse Heath, Bodham and West Beckham.
