Well the week didn't start that well when I couldn't retrieve a lost post and unfortunately things didn't improve. Today should have been the beginning of our walk with a 15 mile trek through the heart of Norfolk. However, on Monday two of the group tested positive for Covid! With a third of the group in isolation and a couple of the others with injuries, it was decided to postpone the walk for the third year running. We were all beyond disappointed. After putting in the effort these last few weeks with the training I have decided to go it alone. I won't be doing the same walk as we are hoping to do it together next year. After the zoom call I spent the next couple of hours trying to find some accommodation and luckily found somewhere to stay in Blakeney on the North Norfolk Coast.
I am about a ten minute walk from the salt marshes on the North Norfolk Coast. As this was such a last minute change of plans I have no idea how much or how little walking I will do this week. Last night I did a six mile walk but it was late when I set out and I had to be careful not to be walking as dusk falls. I don't want to be out on the marshes in the dark!
Oh dear you have been having a bad time. Hopefully your stay there will be enjoyable. Keep safe .
ReplyDeleteWhat bad luck to have your walk postponed again; often the hardest thing about long-distance walks is getting to the start-line. Enjoy your time in N Norfolk.
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't just postpone for a couple of weeks?
ReplyDeleteWhere you are appears to quite flat, great for walking.
Your digs look very comfortable. Worth the trip just to stay there. Did you drive there?
Glad to hear you could at least salvage some time to walk on your own. I assume the accommodations will be your base to return to each night.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt you will enjoy these treks, not entirely on your own since your camera is with you. Your independence is not only commendable but also inspiring.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to learn of the loss of your original plan, but I look forward to your pictures as you make the best of it.
ReplyDeleteOh the world seems to have gone mad this week ~ If something could go wrong it did ~ I am hoping for a peaceful day today and on the weekend ~ for you and myself as well ~ Xo

Sorry you've had to go it alone. I hope you still manage to enjoy yourself.
ReplyDeleteThat’s too bad! But it looks like you have found a fun alternative, even if you will miss your fun companions. I hope the weather is good and you enjoy the scenery and your accommodations.
