Stage 2 - Thornham to Burnham Deepdale 6.5 miles

Stage 2 of our Mayday Challenge – Thornham to Burnham Deepdale
Stage 2 of the Mayday Challenge saw Stuart, Biscuit and me — otherwise known as The Three Biscuiteers — set off from the lovely village of Thornham.
And yes… despite what people say, Norfolk does have hills! This section of the North Norfolk Coast Path heads inland for a while, with a steady climb away from the coast before eventually dropping back down towards Brancaster for the final mile.
By that point, we’d definitely earned a stop at The Ship Hotel, Brancaster for a sausage roll, a portion of chips and, naturally, a well-deserved pint.
Refuelled and ready, we picked up the coast path again, crossing the beautiful marshes towards Brancaster Staithe and finally on to Burnham Deepdale. There was just enough time for a welcome cup of tea at The Nest Farmhouse Café & Shop while we waited for the bus back to Thornham.
The perfect ending to the day came courtesy of Eric's Fish and Chips — takeaway fish and chips enjoyed in my VW campervan while soaking up the last of the afternoon sunshine.
If you’d like to sponsor The Three Biscuiteers and support the challenge — thank you, it would be hugely appreciated!

Day 1 - Hunstanton Lifeboat Station to Thornham

We set off from the RNLI station at Hunstanton after enjoying a sausage and egg bap at the Beach Cafe. It was nice to meet some of the volunteers at the station.

We walked the 7.5 miles to Thornham, stopping for a refreshing bottle of water at the Norfolk Wildlife Trust cafe at Holme Dunes.

We met some lovely people on the way and we reached Thornham with a few minutes to catch the bus back to Hunstanton. Those last few minutes were like something out of Race Across the World

The Three Biscuiteers, Andy and Stuart Grout, not forgetting the dog, Biscuit, are taking on the Mayday Mile challenge to support RNLI volunteers

This May, my son Stuart, my dog Biscuit and I are attempting to walk the 40 odd miles, from Hunstanton Lifeboat station to Cromer Lifeboat Station, calling into Wells Next The Sea station, where I currently volunteer, to help RNLI crews save lives at sea. 

During summertime, more people flock to beaches and coastal towns to make the most of everything they have to offer – from glorious sunshine to adventurous watersports. And as temperatures rise, so do calls from people in trouble in the water.

By answering this Mayday call and giving a gift today, you can make a real, lifesaving difference. Your kindness will help give volunteers everything they need to launch to the rescue, and make sure they’re ready to face their busiest season.

Will you sponsor our RNLI Mayday Mile Challenge and support the courageous crews?

Thank you to our Sponsors
