Congratulations on your perseverance, finding the milestone in amongst those brambles should be commended 😊👍 Really enjoying these walks and your commentary along the way.I’m surprised in regards to the amount of open land out there. The weather looks to be getting colder , wish I was over there we are expecting 4-5 days of over 36 C in Melbourne. Take care 😊

Thank you for the good look around Eye castle. I used to pass it often on my way to and from work. I stopped for a look one day, but the gates were locked, and I didn't have time to find a key. Your tour has filled a gap for me. 👍

If you ever go to Somerset do not fail to visit Fenny Castle. It is a very small earthwork, with two mounds, one bigger & taller than the other, in a field. No notice, no information, but very interesting.

Building that bank of earth would have been a heck of a task. Would some lord have been ordering his serfs to do that work? How would that have been achieved?

Really enjoyable tour , especially the old castle. What a commanding view from the top of that hill. One thing for sure , your fitness level will be on the improve. Thanks once again. Take care , looking forward to the next instalment on the Greeves video. 👍👍

Thankyou for showing me around the area. Interesting video.

Must have been a right pain living on top of that motte with no water, when you wanted a bath. In the summer I suppose you would just take a swim in the nearby river. Maybe they were not so fussy about bathing in the winter back then. Or maybe your more fortunate friend would let you have a borrow of their tin tub in front of their range on a Saturday night.

Thankyou for sharing.

Fenland 😊 quite enjoyed that walk. I’m amazed at the size of the area , although considering it was an airfield for heavy bombers during the war it’s not too hard to imagine large open areas for landings / take offs and various large buildings would have been quite extensive. Thank you for the time you put into these videos. 👍👍

Hi Ian this walk is on the top of our list just as soon the rain stops , we are local to you so enjoy your little bits of history & paths to wander , I'm also a new member of VJMC so can appreciate your other channel , hope to catch up some time if you don't mind ,kind regards

Grand old Church. I'm glad you were able to enter and show us inside.

Very nice area to explore , so tranquil , somewhere you could just sit and watch time go by. Sad about the landed gentry shooting the peasants , I had to laugh. I hope you had a terrific Christmas with family and look forward to more videos when the weather improves. Take care 👍👍

Every sunday and sometimes a Saturday, i do exactly the same thing as yourself. Exploring Norfolk and Suffolk averaging 14 miles a day come rain or shine, Looking for remains of ww2 airfields and such . Its refreshing to see someone with the same passion. Nice video and i did enjoy the pop ups of information 👍

An excellent day for a walk , those pill boxes certainly are well camouflaged as a result of time and as you commented do seem to be in out of the way places. Sad coming across that memorial in the field however it’s good to see that the sacrifices made during the war are still appreciated today. Have a great Christmas and New Year , and thanks for the walks through some great areas. 👍🎅🎅

There are two castles in Thetford, the other is a ringwork called The Red Castle. It is marked on the board at 19:05.

Commented on your Quiddenham walk that I walked from Harling to Attleborough - next video I watched was this one which was also on the same trip!!.. Those last two fields you passed through, in the second one I had a very scary encounter with a load of bullocks. I followed the advice of walk purposely, don't make eye contact and just keep walking. But 4 bullocks broke away from the herd and came very close. One was jumping up and down on its front legs like it was feigning a charge. There's absolutely no escape from that field because the fence butts right up against trees and bushes. I kept walking until I got to the corner of the field, launched by rucksack over and followed soon after. How farmers think its a good idea to put cows in fields with public footpaths??? Even pulling that fence in a couple of meters would give you the option to go around. Anyway it was a good walk and a pleasant surprise. I actually lived in East Harling next to the chip shop for a few years and never new this path existed.

I did a walk from West Harling to Attleborough and passed through there and I can remembering hearing that dog barking at me as I passed through. This would have probably been maybe July/August time. Guess I was lucky. Its strange that it looks like a public road, but whoever lives down that lane treats the whole place like a dumping ground. Rubbish strewn around everywhere in what would have been quite a nice lane.

The rain must have washed it away now, but I went up there a few weeks ago and it was a minefield of sheep's droppings at the top of the hill. 😂 Glad it was all clear for you!

Subscribed good luck

Litterbugs make me MAD!!!!

Well deserved refreshment at the end of a long journey 😊 An interesting place for the pillbox , although who knows what significance was placed upon the surrounding area. Possibly the airfield. The lost village is somewhat interesting. Hope the new boots are breaking in alright.

What a terrific looking station , and the stone bridge really tops it off. If I manage to get back to the UK for a visit , this’ll be on the itinerary. Thanks for another great video 👍👍

What a lovely place. They need a new poster up in the station, 'Filmed here - Norfolk Nomad'.

Another nice walk through the countryside , nice to see the amount of views increasing. Feel a bit sorry for the pheasants who successfully cross the busy road only to be dodging the cross hairs of the local shooting brigade. 😊👍👍

Great ride out, the Manor house is stunning. I don't like litter bugs either. Why don't people take pride in their surroundings?

A very nice outing , that hall is an incredibly beautiful building.Pat on the back for picking up the litter , I too become quite annoyed when rubbish is left about , especially when there are disposal bins close by. You’ll have to explain the “Suffolk “ reference 🤔🤔 Take care and thank you for another adventure 👍👍

This walk would have to be the best one so far , I’m surprised how much wooded area there is to explore. The two very old oak trees just after you crossed the busy road look to be extremely well preserved.Thanks again , take care 👍👍

Quite a large church , and with an organ as well. I wonder how big the current congregation is. Thanks for the video. I think you’re correct in regard to the structural integrity of those columns although I dear say they will outlive both of us .. 👍👍

Looks like possibly data corruption ??

Great walk again Ian. It's been wetter than an Otter's pocket here.

Thanks again for a terrific video , you deserve to be having loads more people enjoying these informative strolls through the countryside. Totally agree with your comments in regard to the current crop of television shows trying to turn all of us into culinary/dancing/do it yourself home building experts. It’s sad to see that these walk ways are slowly disappearing as local landowners seemingly expand their empires. Hopefully efforts such as yours will encourage more people to explore the diminishing countryside. Cheers , well done 👍👍

Fascinating place Ian.

Well worth the visit. This would have been quite an impressive structure in its day. Thanks again for the video , a nice way to star my day. 👍👍

Another great expedition Ian. History is always just around the corner on this Island of ours.

Quite an interesting area , obviously of some importance years ago in regard to the substantial effort that must have gone into creating that sizeable moat. Well worth a look at what remains of the original castle. Thanks again 👍👍

Great ride out Ian. Hope we get some more decent weather.

I was concerned that if it had been a child rather than me the situation could have been much worse so I did report this incident to the Police. Who, to my surprise, actually did follow up on this and visit the premises. The owner has received a warning that the dog now has to be kept in the grounds and not allowed to run wild. It's an offence to let a dog be dangerously out of control whether that's in public or private. This has made me a little jumpy every time I hear a dog barking that I can't see!

An unfortunate encounter with vicious Norfolk wildlife!

So that’s the culprit , thankfully the injury wasn’t too bad , although it’s bad enough when the so and so keeps coming for you. Take care

Another great video , firstly I hope you’re not too bad after the dog incident, love dogs however the ones on “the dark side” are truly frightening when you are cycling and their one objective is to cause total devastation. A lovely old building and pretty much in good condition considering its age. Your mention of the metal railings still being there and not being removed during the war brought back memories of my late father who grew up in Collierswood South London who would often talk about how all the houses in their street had railings and fences removed during the war. Anyway take care hope all is well 👍👍

Thanks again Ian for another very entertaining video. That church is quite interesting and I cannot believe that it is in relatively good condition especially considering it’s not under lock and key. It’s quite a shame as you stated that the community doesn’t organise some working bees in regard to maintaining the surroundings especially considering the age of the graves. I do hope you continue with these videos and that the forthcoming winter months are not too bad. Happy cycling, take care 👍👍

I've just been along the bridleway again and it's still blocked! Even had an HGV parked up loading piglets, I guess they have to load somewhere but they could at least move the loading trailer off the bridleway when done.

Are u local to E.H. ? I'll give u a test - where did Barney Eleaner live ? U showed his house, but which one, and when ?

There are some lovely unspoilt villages and countryside over your way Ian.

Well ,this has started my Saturday morning off in a good way with another interesting adventure. You are lucky to have a lot of areas to explore which are blessed with a lack of traffic. That church seems to be waiting for the next high wind to well and truly end its days, quite unfortunate really as it must have a building of some grandeur in days gone. Thanks again take care 👍👍

A really interesting walk. Do keep using those paths, they have a habit of disappearing.

Nice walk in the countryside and no crazy dogs or the odd rampaging bull. All in all a good day out. Thanks for the tour and the bit of history 👍👍

I wonder who removed the signs and blocked off the byway? What a mystery! Great ride out Ian. We have similar experiences with Muntjacs here in Oxfordshire. You picked up the pace on the run to the pub! Pity it was closed. Best wishes, Dean.

I’m glad you knew where you were going 🤔🤔 Another enjoyable video. Take care and thank you.

First subscriber! Good luck Ian.
