Dangers on the roads
We have carefully checked all the proposed routes for a 3-day walk from Norwich to Lakenheath and have noted that all the roads between Wymondham and Thetford are dangerously narrow and winding, and not at all safe for a group walk. The very busy B1107 road from Thetford through the forest to Brandon also has no footpath or safe verge to walk on without endangering the LAP walkers.
Engaging with local communities
We also noted that, apart from Norwich, Wymondham, Thetford and Brandon, there are very few places along the original route that would offer opportunities for LAP walkers to engage with local communities.
Cyclists’ Route from Norwich to Lakenheath
We are not ruling out a LAP cycle convoy from Wymondham onwards, but we have yet to find a safe route, so this is not currently recommended.
