Hillington to Cromer

 The  Ffolkes Hotel in Hillington was a new experiance. The bedroom was a motel style unit and a large bar offering Asian street food or pies, the saving grace was that there was a selection of ales. I managed to book Pegasus some stabling for a few weeks in Cromer until I could pick the bike up.  I also booked a ticket back to Taunton which surprisingly seemed good value although I had to travel on specific trains.  Then it was off on the final leg of my journey  Cycle Travel. Com and Garmin resulted in a somewhat circuitous route but it did keep me off the A148. It was pleasant cycling with easy gradients and the sun was out. The inevitable easterly got up but as there were more hedges which tended to break the wind.  I started keeping an eye out for a lunch stop but everything seemed shut on  a Thursday lunch time, they obviously need a good funeral for pubs to be open. Resorting to the local shops they got arsey about excepting cards it was like being back in the twentieth century. I eventually stopped on the green at Saxthorpe and Corpusty and eat my Spar Luncheon.  The clouds were gathering as I sat there and I thought I was going to get wet. As they say careful what you wish for and by the time I got to Cromer it was properly raining and down by the peir  it was blowing a hooley and no-one to take my "I ve done it picture" hence the poor quality selfie.
