In this video, I continue along the stunning Norfolk Coast Path on the staggeringly beautiful North Norfolk Coast. I set off from my overnight wild camp spot on the beach near Weybourne, past old world war two gun emplacements, anti aircraft batteries and coastal defences, up onto the cliffs towards the seaside town of Sheringham and finally onto the old pier at Cromer.
Cromer marks the end of this leg of the trail, the halfway point. I have thoroughly enjoyed the walk so far, passing some of the most spectacular coastal scenery on offer in the East of England. Classic traditional seaside towns, ancient ports, sandstone cliffs, sand dunes, wide sandy beaches, salt marsh, reed beds, shingle beaches and yet more cliffs giving you a rewarding vantage point with views along the coastline - this walk has it all!
I will return other day to continue the trail………….stay tuned!
I would like to apologise for the deterioration in picture and sound quality during the video - my camera had an unfortunate encounter with the North Sea and gave up the ghost. I filmed the remainder of the video on my phone and GoPro, neither of which have good audio.
I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Thank you Simon, I am thoroughly enjoying this series of walks, I have also been following your route on Google Earth on my second monitor. I am a great fan of this part of Norfolk and am very familiar with it. Although I live on the south coast near Hastings, I escape to Norfolk as often as my wife will let me free for a few days. I am approaching 77 now and am amazed at your perceived walking speed, I would be left way behind if I tried to keep up with you; about 8 miles in one leg is enough for me these days. I am looking forward to following you on all your adventures in the future, as a severe insomniac, you are getting me through the long and pleasantly quiet, winter nights.

...wow, that time-lapse start Simon - brilliant! The pack up is such a chore, and you need to be systematic as you show. I move a lot slower! Honestly, I take an hour each pack up! That said - in an emergency or heavy rain I can do it in 20 mins max. Stuff and go!

Hello from Colorado - great video. I grew up in Sheringham and visit often. Walk this all the time. I'd recommend dropping down to the beach at West Runton, especially if the tide is out. Alternately, once you drop down the east side of Beeston Hill (bump) hang a right, cross the railway tracks, turn left on the Cromer road and just before the humpback bridge at West Runton take the dirt path headed south up to the North Norfolk Ridge and then follow the trails to Cromer. Its a wonderfully wooded walk.
@simonablokeinthewoods
@simonablokeinthewoods 4 года назад
Thank you! In my guide book, the path goes that way - through the woodland which I was looking forward to, but it seams the route of the path has been changed, to follow the coast - not sure it was the right choice! 👍

So I hope that you and your family stay safe and well in these uncertain times ahead..👍👍👍😀😀
