Hard Miles, Hotel Keys and Hot Showers






















Tuesday 6th July day 12
The uprising had been quelled, the walk would go forward into another day. Breakfast passed without the issue being raised. I think the late offer to take a taxi the 2 miles to the closest point of the start of the trail helped.
We all started out in good spirits and mile down the way, it was discovered that the keys for the room at the previous nights hotel were still in my pocket. I didn’t think it was too much of an issue but the family insisted it was mentioned in the blog.
After walking for miles without seeing any open pubs, we stumbled out of dense forest into a Macdonalds. Kathy stated she needed to use the bathroom, so there was lunch.
Another 3 or so hours of walking and we came to our destination and checked into the Osterich Inn in Castle Acre and set about taking hot showers. We eventually made our way downstairs to the bar where we decided the menu looked pretty good and stayed for dinner. An excellent choice as it turned out.
The highlight of the day were coming across a couple driving a little Vauxhall stuck in a river because “the GPS navigator said it was a road!”.
