A couple of weeks ago (finally caught up with writing these posts!), Amanda and I - without the boys - walked the nine miles of the Bure Valley Way on a very unsettled day - we had a lot of rain, but quite a lot of sun, which meant we were either really wet or really steaming. Every time it rained, we didn't even bother putting the coats on.
We parked my car at Wroxham and then drove to Aylsham to start - we used quite a lot of delaying tactics - as usual - before starting to finally walk.
Our original plan had been to take one car, walk to Wroxham and then get the train back, but it's quite an expensive ride - £8.50 each way for an adult - which is what decided us to have two cars. And as it turned out, it was a good job we did, as Amanda rubbed the most horrendous blisters in her new boots, so she stopped a mile short of Wroxham, while I hightailed it to go and get the car. Although I had to walk along the roads to work out how to drive back to her - when you're walking footpaths without a map, it's quite difficult to work out where you are!
Still a very good day and hopefully Amanda's feet will be hardened up enough soon that we can have another go.
