    Sitting at home isolating with the family as we've all got the "C" word making hammocks that I'm unable to go and test! And then Simon shines a little Ray of sunshine on my sewing marathon.

    I can no longer walk very much, so I really appreciate you taking us along, on your journey. I can't tell you how much better I feel; being taken along. Oh how I miss the simple pleasure of a nice walk. Thank you.

    Nice one Simon brought back many many memories of Norfolk, I was born in Caister then I went away and join the army and I live in Wales now.Plenty of great walks over here, but unfortunately I’m in a wheelchair now. But I still manage to do while camping and go on many great adventures life never stops enjoy it.

Many thanks, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.

    Thank you Simon - we have really enjoyed this series and watched it again from the beginning before this final leg. Your enjoyment is contagious, even in wet weather, however, we are a bit concerned that you camp at the foot of those somewhat unstable cliffs, we would not want to see you as a 'news item' ! Hope Maggie is okay.

    I have gotten into the habit now of watching your previous video on the day the latest one is released so that I always have one spare to watch :) Video gets liked every time even before watching. Great video as always Simon, so glad to have found this channel 2 years ago now. I hope you will continue to make them and the comments I leave now and then on videos (as well as all the other kind comments I see on your videos) will hopefully show you the appreciation to do so.

    Simon,
    Really enjoyed seeing you complete your walk along the beautiful and varied Norfolk coast. I’ve only done the stretch from Hunstanton to Cromer,so I am looking forward to completing both the Peddars Way and Cromer to Hopton. Also like the sound of the footpath from Gt Yarmouth back to your original start point.Feeling I need to get some miles in myself as just signed up to the “Great Norfolk hike” in May,walking the 26 miles in a day from Cromer to Holkham in aid of MacMillan Cancer support….should be a good challenge for a great cause.
    Keep up the top work
    Best wishes
    Stuart

    Brilliant walk and scenic , love Norfolk used to own a caravan in California cliff ,not my thing but used to hire it out . My favourite beach is Winterton on sea used to take my spaniels there when they were alive for the day and meet up with mates about 10 spaniels all running round for 8-10 hrs then go home to Northants and not hear a peep out of my two for a couple of days at full pelt anyway lol .

So I might not be leaving myself time to enjoy the scenery but restricted by time. Also thinking of doing it the wrong way but I don't think that will detract from it.
