The photo shows the “shell-shocked” walkers beside a pile of cockle shells that were being crushed and used to surface a track through West Bilney Wood!

Derek led 12 other boot-print-making ramblers west to Gun Hill from Holkham Bay:
Where Horse-shoed hoofprints, tyre tracks and pawprints,
Impressed upon the gold, tanned sand where sea-shells lay:
To our right, a thin blue line between sand and sky
Where silently, wild gulls wheeled and floated
Above the vast expanse of sand and slowly skated by:
While that wide sea’s horizon allowed
A gentle warming wind, still summer coated,
The freedom of this Indian summer day.
Returning by the wooded coastal path, a twitching crowd
Searched for wayward migrants: the deep blue sky almost too much for me.
The Yellow-browed Warbler from Siberia had been seen by chance!
But 13 ramblers had deliberately sought
This English autumn-sun dance caught
Beside this blue-skied sea.
Total distance: 7.5m

Helen led the King’s Lynn Ramblers Saturday Explorers in search of the the End of the Rainbow. But, being such an ephemeral thing, we never found it. Nevertheless, the 6.6 mile walk through the countryside around Bircham was very enjoyable.
