Stage 5: Ely to Littleport

I walked this, the 5th stage of my Grand Norfolk Hike, on Sunday 22nd January 2012.

It was a windy day as I tramped on up the Great Ouse on this short walk to our neighbours in Littleport.

It was a typical fenland walk in many ways.  Wind, long straight stretches, lots of birds. Nothing stunning but beautiful in its own special way.

I met only one other walker, we grinned at each other as our paths crossed.  Other than that I had only had the swans and geese to sing to.

Before I knew it I was in Littleport.  I didn’t tarry, instead I finished off my sandwiches and munched on a marathon bar at the station before hopping on the first train home.
