Sir Peter Scott Walk; Walking from Sutton Bridge to King's Lynn

I've been wanting to do the Sir Peter Scott Walk for a few years now; I've always been too busy or not well. This spring time I felt it was now or never, the weather was looking promising for my last free week before the summer wedding season starting and so we set the date. 

"We" was my old old old friend Bobby and I. We're usually bike riding buddies for exercise and adventures but on this day we had a good hike along the coastal path across the border of Lincolnshire & Norfolk; between Sutton Bridge & King's Lynn.

The walk itself took around 5-6 hours and was just under 15 miles in total but yes it could be done quicker and the journey could be shorter and easier for sure.

We added a walk out to the Inner Tidal Bank on the marsh and spent lots of time looking out for and watching the wildlife and this proved to be absolutely amazing!

We got at most 5 metres away from a beautiful Red Kite feeding on the marsh and it was truly astonishing! An experience that I would say is very rare to be that close. When the bird left the ground and  took off it gave the best display of gliding just above us. No exaggeration we laid on the ground and were whispering  "this is amazing, I can't believe this!"

I'd love to do this walk again and it will definitely happen again one day; let's just wait and see what experiences await.

Thanks for reading.

Now for the image diary;

Flying low at RAF Holbeach

Established in 1926 in the sleepy little village of Gedney Drove End, RAF Holbeach is a practice gunnery and bombing range. For those of us that live in the area close to, its a constant source of NOISE.

For sure you can see your fair share of fighter planes and gun ships but the majority of the time you just hear the jet engines and the thud thud of distant helicopters and this can go on for hours!

Drones are a bit of a novelty. A very expensive novelty too.
I like them, no doubt about it, they're cool but......

Things are no longer off limits, well apart from airports (for most people apart from those near missers), places are now in reach that were never in reach before. Views and angles previously only available to people with light aircraft are now achievable to every member of joe public.

A cold and windy Sunday in October, i loaded up my bike on the back of my car and drove to the marsh and then got my, head wind, pedal on to the waters edge.

Fly safe!
