23rd February 2025 - Rideout to Blue Sky Cafe, Cromer - Ian Cain

Seven riders in two groups set off on a mild, dry, but overcast day heading for the Blue Sky Cafe on the clifftop at Cromer. I led my group over the “heights” of West Norfolk through Bircham and Burnham Market to Wells, and then along the coast road through Sheringham to Cromer, Dave R led the other group on a more roundabout route apparently including some very rural roads. We all arrived about the same time and found plenty of space to park by the cafe.

The Blue Sky Cafe is well named. Being close to the cliff edge it is surrounded by sky, and is painted blue. Nice coffee and cakes as well, vital for our rideouts.

I took a direct route home via Holt and Fakenham, followed by Secretary Elke, Roly Batchelor, and Bob Walker. Roly left us at Fakenham to head down to Wymondham while we carried on the King’s Lynn. It was quite a bit windy on the way back, gusts through gaps in roadside hedges were knocking us about quire a bit. Unnerving at times.

Thanks for the company to those who turned out, another successful ride out.
