Marriotts Way Norfolk

Cracking day again. Decided to do a walk this morning instead of a run so i could fit in a decent mountain bike ride this afternoon. Just trying to be a bit careful with the knees.

So, did a relaxed 2.73 mile walk round UEA while Arleya was in Karate. Route here http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/57692922

Got home & got the mountain bike out. Rode down to the start of Marriott's way foot path near Halfords & set up. Great easy ride, nearly all flat. Got all the way to Reepham & Whitwell station. 30 mile round trip

info all along Marriott's Way



Thought I'd better stick some pics up to try & reduce the bore factor of my blog.

Well, here's a link to the mapmyride route i logged & another link to some more info on Marriott's Way. I'll be doing it regular for sure. I think if you carry on past Reepham station it's gets more rough, unfortunately i ran out of time so had to come back didn't get to check it out. http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/57720970

Marriott's Way history & detail  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriott%27s_Way

Found a great website last night - http://www.sustrans.org.uk/sustrans-near-you shows the National Cycle network which covers Marriotts Way as it is part of National cycle route 1. You can also get the maps on a free iPhone app which is great http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/the-complete-national-cycle/id436521445?mt=8&ls=1

So, 95miles of walking & cycling this weekend, chuffed with that, weather has been great as well. Not looking forward to getting back on the Turbo next week now :-(
