Cromer to Hopton 40 mile Challenge Walk

Author: Griffmonster | Saturday 28 July 2018 | 2 comments |

Extensive full day hike around the eastern section of the Norfolk Coast Path

This walk should only be undertaken by experienced long distance walkers or those who have specifically trained for such a feat. This specific route was undertaken from 5am with a high tide around 6am. This allowed for a beach walk from Waxham through to Caister as an alternative to the official dunes paths. A support car was employed to provide the return journey and offer assistance in case of emergency.
