Day #33 Burnham Deepdale to Dersingham, Norfolk.

        Departed  just after 8.00pm on a full stomach prepared by yours sincerely in the professional kitchen. Very pleasant to have spent a fun evening with a small group of bird-watchers and small sailing dinghy types. Interesting that there were not actually any youth in this youth hostel...median age was at least 55!

Dry initially, the weather, although decidedly warmer than last week, began to deteriorate early on and within an hour I was in full rain gear. Like-wise the walking roads became more heavily traveled compared to the quite back-roads that I have walked the passed week. As this is an important touristic area and next weekend is Easter, this may explain the influx of people.

        'Tis also the season for the farmers in Norfolk to spread a winters supply of manure on the fields. The pungent odour not exactly conducive to building ones appetite for a fine pub lunch.

     Having filled my mileage quota for the day, rolled into Dersingham, a quiet, small, rather non-descript farm town. Quickly found a first rate, reasonably priced B & B. Hot shower, and with Wi-Fi on tap, to the computer to catch up on 3 days of being incommunicado.
