Exploring new paths and old.

Last Thursday the weather looked good again, so decided to do a reccie of the new path we found. It was halfway down the concrete track to the river in Caister, never noticed it before. So we set off was ok at first but quickly became hard going, long wet grass, so we decided to turn back, but good news was we found the original path which skirts the fields and goes over liggers.The yellow arrows had been covered by reeds.
We decided to take the path along by the stables, lovely country lane hedges laden with berries, lovely views again over the marshes, carried on to the end and I normally turn right to get back up to Caister West End, but we had found a path on the ramblers site showing a path turning left, it did look private but no signs saying this, so we ventured on there was some farm equipment, but it was a nice path, I checked a post and saw there was definitely a yellow arrow, pointing right once again by the edge of fields , they were stubbly and dry so we sat right in a corner in the sunshine and had lunch, views once again over the marshes where we saw riding the thermal breezes three Buzzards, beautiful sight.
After lunch carrying o9n following the ramblers map, I found it a bit difficult, distinct lack of footpath signs, but came out at another concrete track and rather than turning towards river and chicken farm, we turned right and back towards Mautby, we turned right again along pretty country lanes , saw a Kestrel hunting above us and later, saw a bird of prey take small partridge in its talons and fly off very low only to drop it, it got away.We crossed the Pickerell Holme, back towards West End Caister, and back along the road towards the blue footbridge. This walk was quite a way but worth it, in the glorious Autumn sunshine.Will save this one for the Caister walkers once they are maybe a bit fitter.
