| The Gin Trap Inn |
A reunion of old friends last night at the Gin Trap Inn in Ringstead Norfolk to join our friend Miriam on her birthday walk. She's doing about 100 miles around Norfolk staying at B and Bs and inns and revisiting favourite walks and raising money for Plan UK.

A glass of bubbly to celebrate and then supper followed by a good sleep and then a full English breakfast to start the day. It was probably the hottest day of the year so far. We walked through Ringstead Downs a wonderful soft hidden chalk valley. Some butterflies were out and wild flowers springing. Some people needed a rest very soon after setting out! Must have been the size of the breakfast.

 |
| The first stop. One of many... |
Then on into Hunstanton, a typical East Anglian holiday resort with people enjoying the sun and the beach.
 |
| Tides out! Just visible: cockle pickers and people punting on the water |
We stopped for coffee and surreptitiously ate the banana muffins I had bought along in case of starvation! We walked along the beach beneath the chalk and carstone cliffs to the beach cafe where we had lunch. We noticed with alarm the couples sitting right at the foot of the cliffs, clearly not having made the connection between the mounds of jagged rock next to them and lumps falling from on high.

| Geologists, note the cliff formation |
 |
| Baby's left home! |
 |
| An interesting sign. Wonder what goes on down there? |
 |
| Striding out... |
 |
| I was wearing my A&M visor, but no-one said 'Howdy'... |
Then on past the golf course and back inland to Ringstead. About 9 miles in all.
