Snettisham to Heacham South Beach

The question is will we won't we, after a scorching few days, there was some heavy rain overnight, and it started off overcast, weather forecast showing showers, after humming and haaing we decided to go for it.
Started off going to Jens for a Wii Fit session, and then Bob got on his moped to its MOT, which it sailed through, and i drove to pick him up.
We then went to Snettisham and set off to heacham, the first thing we saw was 3 magpies chasing each other quite spectacularly.

We continued walking till we reached Heacham Dam.

After the Dam it got really hard going because we were walking on very soft sand towards the end i was really struggling.

Standing in the wild in the middle of nowhere I said isn't this perfect it's like we're alone in the world, Bob said yes till one of the kids ring and bring you back down to earth and guess what JEN rang

We saw huge flocks of oystercatchers coming into land.

Eventually we reached Heacham, and had a lovely lunch at The Heacham Halt cafe.
Then we started the long journey home, this time we went the land side of the dunes and this was much easier walking, we walked through some holiday homes built on boats.

We then passed Island Camping Club

Continuing on beside Heacham River we saw a family of Coots.

And a Grey Heron coming into land.

We saw a Reed Warbler, hovering from reed to reed.

We saw a Blue-tailed damselfly

We saw a Caterpillar

We saw loads of Sea Holly

We also saw plenty of Sea Bindweed

We saw quite a lot of Rabbits as well.

We also saw a red and black moth called cinnabar.

We eventually finished our walk, hot bothered and satisfied.
We walked a total of 15986 Steps and 7.31 Miles.
We went and collected the Moped and popped into Mums for a cup of tea, Dads reaction to our adventures i am old enough to know better and shouldn't go on long walks at my age!!!!!
