Val Smith in her 75th year planned a series of walks in North Norfolk totalling 75 miles. Aiming to raise funds for The British Heart Foundation, supported by Hilary Cox and Cromer Walkers are Welcome, walkcromer.co.uk. Mostly snapped on phone cam – lovely views – lovely walks!
Martin Warren & Poppyland microbrewery guide us through the brewing process to produce a beer in celebration of Cromer Walkers are Welcome. Delicious!

Walkers are Welcome Cromer
Cromer Walkers are Welcome aims to improve the walking experience for our visitors. This is the ideal place to leave the car behind & set off on foot. We have excellent public transport links, a great range of places to stay, eat & drink, a historic pier with fabulous views, and wonderful fresh Cromer crabs too. We are part of the nationwide network of more than 100 Walkers are Welcome towns and villages.
We're planning our parish footpaths walk... 17 in all to be checked for signage, routing, condition etc. We'll also clip back intrusive brambles & pick a bit of litter too.
Should be an interesting day!

Our morning's fundraising for the British Heart Foundation at Morrisons was most successful, adding a weighty bucket to our collection... And many thanks to all the Walkers are Welcome Town Delegates who also gave so generously. Hilary is now totalling up and finalising the donations, and recalling some of the lovely places visited during her 275 mile Norfolk biathlon.
A fine walk up to Skelding Hill today, clear views back to Cromer and on to Runton, Beeston Bump and Sheringham... but does anyone know what this mysterious hair-like growth on the gorse bush is - some sort of gall perhaps?
Many thanks to Norman Lamb MP for allowing us to post this filmed address to our Walkers are Welcome National Get-Together 13 October 2018.
A few more stills from our weekend events in the hall. It was wonderful to meet, talk to and exchange ideas with so many other WAW members.
We do hope some of you will come back soon to enjoy the other great walks in the area.
