Today we travelled again via Ludham to Horning, where we stopped for lunch and a look around. We planned to return to Horning later, to try to locate the water taxi to Woodbastick Staithe, to allow us to take an alternative route home south. This appeared tricky to track down – some locals even said that it was no longer in service. If we failed to find it later we would just return home via Ludham again, but we fancied trying the alternative route if we could. For now, we cycled on to Neatishead, and took a trip on the Solar Powered Boat, the Ra.

We returned to Horning and after asking several locals we found the water taxi, loaded up the tandem and headed to Woodbastwick.

We then cycled South East via Ranworth and South Walsham, then skirted along the back roads via Pilson Green, Cargate Green and Upton to Acle, returning North East up the A1064 and B1152 to Clippesby. It has to be said that the last stretch from Acle is not very pleasant on a bike as it is a busy road and rather narrow, so we tended to avoid it on our other journeys. However, it is at least fairly short, and allowed us to take a very pleasant alternative route back.
