Notes from MJ
Paper maps are coming! The council-produced maps were last updated in 2008 and can be found online (linked from the maps page on our website) but are now out of print as well as out of date, so we've started producing a new map from OpenStreetMap/OpenCycleMap.

These are critical for cycling in West Norfolk and offer chances to improve the connections to the north and create a first good connection to the east. Events ...
Bawsey Bumps and the Lynn-Fakenham Railway Path
As mentioned in the previous post about the Bawsey Bumps, "we would really really like" an alternative to the B1145 Bawsey Bumps which is currently the most-used route for cycling east. It's horrible but the alternatives are even worse, involving a very long detour such as 35 miles south to Brandon or mixing it with ...
