On a cold, but dry and bright day ten riders were tempted out, although they stuck together only briefly as a single bunch. The initial split was into two pace groups, then Neil Mc had to break off early and Mark was riding to an afternoon memorial event in Wells. Over the years, the Walsinghams have been a frequent destination for North Norfolk Wheelers club runs, so variety of route is always a bit of a challenge. Today’s edition was west by way of Lower Bodham and Salthouse Heath to Wiveton before turning south up the valley of the Glaven, climbing up the back of Thornage to Sharrington, round by Saxlingham to Field Dalling and Binham, finishing off into the Walsinghams by way of a northerly detour to Copy’s Green. The food at The Norton Centre always seems to be first class these days, noticeably better than it was a couple of years or so back.
The route home was planned as Thornage, Gunthorpe, Swanton Novers, Hindolveston, Thurning, Corpusty, Matlaske and Bessingham, but, due to a range of factors, this was largely ignored. The plotted route from PC to PC was about 53 miles, but individual distances ranged wildly up to about 68 miles.
Riders out: Andrew; Brian; Chris; Graham; Harvey; Ian; Jim; Mark; Neil Mc; Neil S.
Next week is to Watson’s at Bacton, with the shorter leg out in the hope of bagging a good table.
