A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.
Sea and Seals
We saw the sea and we saw a couple of seals, though not the several hundred we'd been told we might see.
It's that barn again
With me in the foreground of course, holding the bikes.I really didn't take enough photos of this ride, which was very enjoyable. The small lanes up to Sea Palling were very nice to ride on, then the B road down to Horsey was good too. Not too many cars and yet wide enough for them to easily overtake but not so wide that they could slip past next to your elbow.I didn't get to take any photos of me mending the puncture we had at Hickling nor of Howard the very nice man who invited us for a cup of tea when we'd finished. Unfortunately having successfully mended the puncture the bloody valve broke and so I had to ride to get the car and come back for Pippa pushing her bike.
Thelnetham
Having spent the morning in search of a new inner tube (none at the first town in the cycle shop that sold mostly washing machines, a traffic jam in Diss that prevented access to the town) we finally got one at Halfords in Thetford. Having replaced the tube we went to Thelnetham to see a windmill and have a ride. Though not before having a nice lunch at the Swan at Coney Weston, and trying an old tequila courtesy of the friendly publican. The ride was only about an hour and a half and yet seemed packed with incident. Views, quiet lanes, and, to add to our wildlife list of: two hares, one owl, a small deer, and innumerable weasels, we saw a squirrel trying to outrun the bikes.
The windmill
Seems the windmill is owned by the farm next door and this was the closest we could get.
