Meet 9.30am Taverham Garden Centre, on left after entrance. Depart 9.40am for East Runton beach car park, NR27 9PA with coffee stop en route. Car park charge (1hr for £1.50). Low tide 11am to 4pm.
Fossil hunting on the beach with your own guide & mentor (that’s me). Those less motivated by fossils can sun bathe. We may be lucky and find Echinoids, which today we would recognise as Sea Urchins, more realistically I think we can expect to find sections of Belemnintes (species alive 201 - 66 million years ago). Now they say there are no guarantees in life but here is mine – everyone will go home with a piece of a fossil Belemnite, now that’s confidence for you, or I’ll eat my Norfolk Fives hat! (NB. Small print T&C apply). Best of luck finding a shark’s tooth – but you never know.
Part two of the day takes place at Sheringham’s Priory Maze, Garden & café. Here we can enjoy the flora, puzzle over the maze and grab some lunch. Garden & maze £6.50, seniors £6.00.
Finally a mazey hour’s drive towards Norwich (ends on A47 Norwich Southern bypass at Easton) with folk peeling off along the way for home.
Don’t be a stay at home fossil sign up for this run.
Help with the route which I originally put in a reply but am including here.
Those missing us at Taverham can join us for coffee at Alby Crafts cafe NR11 7QE.
Note late change to route, still stopping at Alby Art Cafe, due to road closure. From Taverham Garden centre/Saltstore route as follows (Google maps):
