Fleet Dyke, The River Bure and The Fur and Feathers

After yesterday's coastal walk, it seemed appropriate to do a Broadland walk today. Rosie devised this circuit, starting near South Walsham Broad, heading along Fleet Dyke, South along The River Bure and then back cross-country.  We say lots of Broads cruisers, a few lovely sailing boats (certainly the way to travel here) and several windpumps in various states or repair. A lovely sunny start, but getting cloudier towards the end.

Entirely uncoincidentally, we were close to the Fur and Feathers, the pub attached to The Woodfordes Brewery.  Naturally, a couple of excellent pints were sampled (Rosie was the designated driver).  We also ate there - the portions were very large, especially Dave's Steak & Kidney Pudding. We certainly didn't need any dinner. Recommended.

I had only taken one pair of trousers to The Lake District so had to buy another pair. This holiday, I didn't bring a fleece. I am now the owner of a Woodfordes Brewery fleece.
