The Norfolk Coast Path - Part 4. Weybourne to Cromer Pier.

In this video, I continue along the stunning Norfolk Coast Path on the staggeringly beautiful North Norfolk Coast. I set off from my overnight wild camp spot on the beach near Weybourne, past old world war two gun emplacements, anti aircraft batteries and coastal defences, up onto the cliffs towards the seaside town of Sheringham and finally onto the old pier at Cromer.
Cromer marks the end of this leg of the trail, the halfway point. I have thoroughly enjoyed the walk so far, passing some of the most spectacular coastal scenery on offer in the East of England. Classic traditional seaside towns, ancient ports, sandstone cliffs, sand dunes, wide sandy beaches, salt marsh, reed beds, shingle beaches and yet more cliffs giving you a rewarding vantage point with views along the coastline - this walk has it all!
I will return other day to continue the trail………….stay tuned!
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.
I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Thank you Simon for taking me to places I'll never get to in person. Beautiful scenery.

[@ChasingCars71]

That was great - just what we all needed to escape reality for a few minutes

[@alessia0064]

Your shadow made me giggle 😊. Take care and stay safe, that goes to everybody out there too 👍

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you! You too. 👍

[@denaredford6701]

I really like your walkabout bye the ocean , peaceful and your filming is excellent . Britain now has the longest coastal walk in the world . Wonderful , thank you for sharing .

[@suesmith4325]

Stunning, refreshing, relaxing. How fortunate to be living in this part of the world.

[@davidrodwell6509]

Thank you Simon, I am thoroughly enjoying this series of walks, I have also been following your route on Google Earth on my second monitor. I am a great fan of this part of Norfolk and am very familiar with it. Although I live on the south coast near Hastings, I escape to Norfolk as often as my wife will let me free for a few days. I am approaching 77 now and am amazed at your perceived walking speed, I would be left way behind if I tried to keep up with you; about 8 miles in one leg is enough for me these days. I am looking forward to following you on all your adventures in the future, as a severe insomniac, you are getting me through the long and pleasantly quiet, winter nights.

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Simon . 🐺 Loupis Canis .

[@mozdickson]

...wow, that time-lapse start Simon - brilliant! The pack up is such a chore, and you need to be systematic as you show. I move a lot slower! Honestly, I take an hour each pack up! That said - in an emergency or heavy rain I can do it in 20 mins max. Stuff and go!

[@Alex-wl1je]

Love the videos. I'm hiking the Jurassic coast in Dorset soon, including a wild camp at Winspit Quarry. Can't wait!

[@andrewforrest8592]

Awesome video and amazing views, thanks for sharing your videos take care see on next video 👍

[@alialmahanawi8409]

Hi Simon, another fascinating video , the truth is that I find pleasure and comfort in following and watching your channel . Your efforts much appreciated ,Thanks a lot .👍✌️

[@alex_n8863]

Cheers Simon. Just the escape I need!

[@trickkzz]

We’ll me and the wife have made the date for this walk thanks Simon 😁

[@darrellpidgeon6440]

Every mile a wonder. Thanks. The shoes wear out quickly, I'm sure. Especially doubling back to snag the camera. If only we could have a camera that could follow us.

[@DC-fc2kf]

Very Nice, Beautiful Place. Thanks for Sharing!!

[@MakinEndsMeet69]

Simon thank you for showing me more of your country I really enjoyed the video as as always so I'm in please stay safe and as always God bless

[@OoavastoO]

You'd never know you had a bum foot, Simon, with that final hyper push on the pier ! 😉 Thanks for another great vid. ATB - Darby

[@tuftywhite9628]

How you got that smoke to go back into the steam train was amazing. Looking forward to the next one.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Very environmentally friendly, the trains around here! 😁👍

[@anndebaldo7381]

Beautiful video! Looking forward to the next leg! Thanks.

[@maryhairy1]

Great views to the lovely coast of Norfolk

[@joharmon2148]

Wonderful walking trail loved the first part and loved this part 2 just as much.

[@tutts999]

Living in Norwich the N Norfolk coast isn't far away. Just another reason why some of us are so lucky to live and work in this fine county.

[@ronaldmoore2336]

Lovely video, how I, we, enjoy your outdoor adventurers.

[@mrblurecompany3478]

Nice Video Simon. Thanks for taking us along.

[@sirfintanelmrisofcoanwood5245]

It is always a joy, stumbling across such exceptional channels as yours! Cracking work! -- Cheers, from a young rambler alas stuck in the city due to the calls of higher education

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you! 👍

[@kevinthewanderingwoodchuck2586]

What a beautiful part of this wonderful planet! Thanks so much for sharing and your time. I can't bare to watch the news anymore, thank you for the escape. Your videos are top notch Simon. Keep it the good work,can't wait for the next one!

[@HardyTempestsWildCampsandWalks]

As always a real pleasure. The next part of the journey is the worst until you get to waxham . Then you get to the real jewel in the crown of the Norfolk Coast path, Winterton. My home villiage, bias! Lol

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

I know that area around Waxham quite well - many a family camping trip up there! 😁👍

[@WalkingintheWildwithJoeJackson]

Brings back fond memories if last year :) thanks!

[@letsramblewithrebecca7071]

Love watching these. Can't wait for the next one to Happisburgh. Love it there. :-)

[@thcdreams654]

Once we can travel again I think I'm going to have to take my first trip overseas and give this trek a shot. Thanks man.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Best time is out of season (September/October through to April) 👍

[@Anglianwanderer]

Thanks Simon, as always, I really enjoyed this video, and what's more, it took my mind off the coronavirus.

[@exileinderby51]

Great series of videos, I had a surreal moment in Cromer, that of watching Memphis Belle in a completely empty cinema!

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you! I know that film got slated, but I really enjoyed it, can’t hear ‘Amazing grace’ without thinking of it! 👍

[@michaelparkinsonnotsir]

Thank you Simon for a very interesting and informative video. I admire your strength and endurance in doing that walk carrying your belongings on your back. I walked from Cley to Cromer over two sections in 2020 and found it interesting seeing your video. Michael Parkinson

[@kaystrong8654]

Thank you for sharing 🙂✌🏼I really enjoyed it

[@ntesla66]

I know the train is moving forwards but the smoke seems to be going back into the train! Oddest thing I've ever seen! Just found you and subscribed, watching your Norfolk coast series. Thank you for sharing such wonderful footage with us. I can see you really really go the extra mile for the footage! (pun intended).

[@peterford746]

Once again another great video, thanks Simon

[@cgriggsiv]

Awesome little adventure video

[@andykjohnsonjohnson7622]

Nice video Simon 👍. Spectacular visters 👍👍.

[@mickspain330]

Great video Simon, looked really refreshing, thanks for sharing👍

[@RyanS493]

Really well done. Awesome views. Thanks for the video!

[@tubadude905]

Hello from Colorado - great video. I grew up in Sheringham and visit often. Walk this all the time. I'd recommend dropping down to the beach at West Runton, especially if the tide is out. Alternately, once you drop down the east side of Beeston Hill (bump) hang a right, cross the railway tracks, turn left on the Cromer road and just before the humpback bridge at West Runton take the dirt path headed south up to the North Norfolk Ridge and then follow the trails to Cromer. Its a wonderfully wooded walk.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you! In my guide book, the path goes that way - through the woodland which I was looking forward to, but it seams the route of the path has been changed, to follow the coast - not sure it was the right choice! 👍

[@lexster411]

Love this video Simon, so much hard work that goes unnoticed in it, inspiring stuff

[@brucenorfolk155]

Simon!! I'm going to have come there some day. It would only be fitting. I really like the coast line.... looks amazing. And to sleep on the shore for a night, would be awesome. 👍👍 Keep up the great videos!!

[@ericstoever9577]

Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@Nabagabo22]

Thanks Simon - another great video - just the ticket when we are stuck at home with Coronavirus shut down! BTW - the map booklet A-Z Norfolk Coastal Path / Peddars Way covers your route with OS 1:25,000 strip maps - I had your video, the map booklet open and a handy mug 'o coffee tracking your progress! Well done on sharing your walk!

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

I’ll check out the A-Z version, i usually go for the Cicerone guides - they also have map sections in (albeit a narrow corridor of the terrain either side of the path) 👍👍👍 Thanks for joining me along the route!

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Phil - it’s one of those walks that just never ends! I’ll pick up the Angles way and follow the Waveney back to its source and then back to Knettishall (around 180 mile round trip) 😁

[@philipwallis5587]

@@simonablokeinthewoods wow that's some distance.. ok I know from when I walked the Coast to Coast some years ago it's an amazing walk that took me a fortnight to do and I wild camped as well it just seemed as though it wasn't coming to an end..so I know how you feeling and you're only half way..but a great mini series all the same..and it maybe some time before you can pick it back up again.. So I hope that you and your family stay safe and well in these uncertain times ahead..👍👍👍😀😀
