The Norfolk Coast Path - Part 3. Wells to Weybourne. Tarp and Bivi Camp on the Beach.

In this video, I am finally back on the trail, walking the Norfolk Coastal Path. Setting off from the port of Wells-next-the-sea, I head eastwards toward Cromer, passing the pretty villages of Stiffkey, Brancaster and Cley-next-the-sea, stunning salt marshes and many relics from our military defensive past, before enduring a long and tiring stretch along the seemingly endless shingle beach.
Tired and sore, I stop and set up a simple tarp and bivi shelter on the beach - home for the night.
After a well earned dinner and some time to relax I turn in to the sound of the wind and the waves crashing on the shore. A good nights sleep is needed - tomorrow brings more miles!
I would like to apologise for the deterioration in picture and sound quality during the video - my camera had an unfortunate encounter with the North Sea and gave up the ghost. I filmed the remainder of the video on my phone and GoPro, neither of which have good audio.
Part two sees me completing this leg of the trail, past old anti aircraft batteries, bunkers and anti tank defences, up and over the cliffs into the town of Sheringham and finally on to the old pier at Cromer.
Cromer marks the half way point of the extended Norfolk Coastal Path - I will be back to continue another day (I’ll try not to leave it too long this time!)
I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Simon, if your camera doesn't revive I'd be willing to chip in to defer the cost of a replacement. I'm sure there might be others, too. Thanks for another brilliant half hour of scenery and entertainment.

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

Agreed mate, I would chip in too.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you Johnny - that is very kind of you! The camera is all sorted now (I found a well priced second hand replacement) I will get the old one repaired. All back to normal again! 😁👍

[@utahjohnnymontana3373]

@@simonablokeinthewoods Good to hear, Simon. I know we all really enjoy your channel and there are probably quite a few that would help out if need be. Glad it's all sorted. Can't wait for part two (of part three).

[@papajeff5486]

Sorry about the camera. Thank you so much for sharing the adventure. Reading the comments of your followers is true entertainment for me, the words used, probably not at all unusual to you, are to a constant source of interest to me. English to an American, sometimes so different but so familiar and ultimately understood, in context; it’s beautiful to read. Your followers are kind and have a genuine sense of humor. Watching you silhouetted on the berm, drinking from the tube from your well provisioned pack, the salt marsh below you, the plain stretched out for miles behind you, made me wonder about English Island history. I wonder what it was like for the first people there, no built up berm, no paths, no towns? Your videos are terrific and distracting, just wonderful. Thanks again... Texas

[@MrPianoKnee]

Amen, Papa Jeff, from a fellow Texan. Good to hear your kind words. All true. Thanks.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks mate! I often wonder the same - our part of the island has a deep history, having been inhabited since the Stone Age - huge amounts of history - it would have looked very different back then - this part of the country was mostly under water for a start - our dense forests which covered most of the island long since gone.

[@ianmarsden8568]

So nice to be taken back by you to such a special place. We camped on the campsite at Stiffkey and the tide silently crept in during one afternoon on the other side of the boundary vegitation. It was very strange. No sound. More power to your elbow. Simon.

I would love to know why 4 people dislike the video and who they are , I dont get it , it's not like you make content that polarises people its calming content that's always great to watch. Theres only one video of yours I couldn't watch and that was your very first review video of a rucksack and that's only because there was music over you talking and It scrambled my brain a bit but even then I didn't click thumb down.

[@Simon_W74]

Your Video captures the charm of the North Norfolk Coastline perfectly. From the small section of the walk I've done over the years. I am lucky that I ended up living in Norfolk some 30 years ago with My fathers last posting with the RAF. Cley Mill has been feature in a lot of Couples Wedding Photographs. I have never really bothered to stop at either Stifkey or Cley due to how busy the roads get once the Tourist season starts. Hopefully your Camera is salvageable as salt water is a real bugger. I have a Friend that works in Brandon that used to run a Camera Shop. He maybe able to help. The Error message is for the mechanical drive mechanism, which is powered controlled by the pins in the bottom of the bayonet fitting. Have you tried another lens since you have been home? I periodically get Error 99 on my 1D and it has been back to Canon a few times and replaced a few times.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks for the info on the camera! I’ll try it with a different lens - it’s been sitting in rice since I got home (I bought a second hand replacement) Yes, it can get silly busy in some villages in the summer - I generally avoid the coast completely once the hoards arrive!! 😂👍

If you're still finishing the walk maybe i'll bump into you along the way, keep up the good work man!

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks mate! It’s taken me a lot longer than normal because of the filming, but realistically, you can walk the Peddars way in two (if you are a machine) or three (more leasurely) days. The NNCP can be done easily in three days to Cromer and three days to Hopton. It’s a gorgeous walk - have fun!

[@mozdickson]

The right to roam, and the freedom to sleep in the wild (aka wild camp or just camping if you're a Kiwi like me!) are essentially human rights. Sure, don't set up in people's yards, don't trample fences or walls or attack vegetation or disturb any creatures and --- light no fires, but....do it and enjoy it. Leave no trace. Always carry a trowel to dig a hole when you shit. Be discrete and respectful. Don't flash lights about (red light is best at night) and give your position away. Your connection with that tiny piece of land will stay with you forever. Thanks Simon.

Nice video! I love the Norfolk coast! And luckily Wells is the closest town to me. It is strange the rules regarding camping on the beach, hundreds of people can (and do) sleep there in a beach tent all day in summer, as long as its daylight or its illegal. The trouble is (as always) a few irresponsible people camping and having fires, breaking glass etc spoiling it. They usually Bury it and it comes to surface a few weeks later. I often camp out here, but always take away more rubbish than I bring. Anyway, thanks for sharing! And keep them coming 👍

Think the dead marshes might have actually been the sodden and flooded plains of Flanders late 1917 (Third battle of Ypres), Even if Tolkien denied the influence of his experience in WWI. However, having been in that lovely part of Britain for both army service and holidays, I agree on the sentiment!
