Only 5 done. The churches are now becoming more spread out so will be less visited each week until August. Week 4 of my training now so focus is going to be geared more towards that too. Once my events are out of the way it will be full on cycling to church locations till end year. About 590 left to visit.

Norfolk Church Count - 40

9 Churches & 1 Cathedral visited today. Booton church wins the prize for the moxt elegant one visited so far. Had to take two pics to capture all its splendour.

Just under a 44 mile trip, with man flu so not the most enjoyable ride, weather was also quite grey and damp, although it wasn't cold or windy which is always a bonus

Met a colourful old chap in Reepham who was intrigued by what i was doing "what are you looking at", he shouted across the street as i was taking my picture, he then trundled over & went on to explain to me the story as to why Reepham has two churches together.
