For this year’s 11-day walk, we follow Norfolk’s coastal path and the Angles Way. At the outset, flocks of geese wheel above extensive salt marshes – “pink-footed”, advises a bird watcher who also points out two spoonbills. Wind turbines glimmer offshore, far beyond the mud banks, creeks and distinctive red‑tinged vegetation.
The next day, we take the bus from Cley and proceed on low cliffs that are prone to landslips. Later, along miles of beaches, receding tides allow us to walk on wet sand below vulnerable sea defences. Towards the gas distribution station, Sunday fishermen line the beach.
