In this video, I am back on the trail again continuing with my hike along the Angles Way long distance footpath. Carrying everything I need, I am walking the 93 mile route from west to east, starting in Great Yarmouth and finishing in Thetford following the river Waveney on the Norfolk/Suffolk border.
In this episode, I pick up from where I ended the last section in the market town of Beccles. Joined by my buddy Martin (vildmark.co.uk) for the first couple of miles, I head off along muddy and flooded footpaths and across wide open fields, passing through the beautiful Suffolk countryside and its pretty villages and finally into Bungay. The river loops here, almost encompassing the town and gave it its unusual name derived from the the French words Bon Isle - this section was particularly beautiful despite costing me my dry feet!
My day ended near Flixton where I found a quiet isolated woodland to call home for the night, my tarp and bivvy giving me shelter from the heavy rain that filled the night.
In part 4, I continue along the Waveney valley heading ever closer to the source of the river, soaking up the sights and sounds and the pouring rain.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching.
