In this video, I am continuing with my hike along the Angles Way on the Norfolk/Suffolk border. This 93 mile long distance path follows the river Waveney from its mouth in the Norfolk Broads to its source in the Brecks and beyond.
It is a trail I have been wanting to walk for a long time and seemed right to take this route back to where I started this walking adventure all those years ago and thus completing the route - almost circumnavigating the county of Norfolk.
I have thoroughly enjoyed walking this first section, 34 miles so far along country lanes, past wide open areas of wetland and open water and along side the beautiful river Waveney. This episode covers the walk between Fritton, with its unusual ribbon lake, through the countryside past stately homes and quaint villages and into Oulton Broad where the path takes me back out to the river once more.
I was exhausted after a big 18 mile day, so a bit of dinner and an hour or so sat beside the river enjoying the calm views and a rum sun-downer before zipping myself into my bivvy for the night. The morning brings warmer weather and the last few miles into Beccles - an ancient market town dating back to Saxon times and the end of this leg for the time being. Ill be back to continue the walk later in the year.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching.
