North West Norfolk Group - Eastern Region - Sunday 16th October - Run and Visit to Oxborough Hall

Area Discussion Eastern
1

Good Afternoon

Following our goal of providing a schedule with something for everyone to enjoy, our next run and visit should fit the bill perfectly if you like twisty country roads, beautiful scenery, country houses, woodland walks and CAKE!

Leaving the Sainsbury’s Car Park on Scania Way, Hardwick Industrial Estate, King’s Lynn PE30 4LR at 10:45 we intend to follow a winding path along some of Norfolk’s finest backroads until reaching Oxborough Hall at around 12:00 midday, just in time for lunch.

Oxborough is a beautiful moated Manor House, set in over 130 acres of gardens, woodland and parkland. The Hall was built in 1482 for the Bedingfield Family, who still live in the private apartments to this day. Within the last 18 months it has undergone a huge £6 million pound renovation to its roof and upper floors, (some work continues, which may mean upstairs rooms could be shut at various times to allow work to continue safely).

Why not join us at our Kings Lynn rendezvous for a drive through part of North Norfolk, (one of England’s prettiest regions), and enjoy learning a little about one of its finest historic buildings. If however the journey to Kings Lynn is too far out of your way, why not arrange a run from your own area and meet us at the venue.

Hi Andy and Jo

Thought you might, but, you never know!

Just completed the final run through, 39.7 miles, approx 75minutes, I would class it as a medium / fast run, with lots of good country roads and lanes.

Kind regards

Barry

Hi Barry,

Anne & John are keen to join the Run but suspect that Anne’s Sunday 9 AM visit to Addenbrookes Outpatients is likely to mean we shall probably join at Oxborough rather than earlier. We expect to clear the hospital before 10:30 but no certainty. If you think we could meet the KL run at a particular point en route, can you please advise. Also please can we ask approx. start time and location for the other Cambridge meeters who are planning to do a separate run to Oxborough.

Regards, from us both

Hi John, fingers crossed Addy’s works out OK for Anne and timings! We will sort out Cambs meet/timings at The White Horse on Tuesday, but probably about 11am at RL as it’s only 40 mins to OH from there.

See you Tuesday evening…

Hi Chris / Henry

Glad you can make it.

See you on Tuesday

Kind regards

Barry
