Norfolk Church Count - 73

Four more churches (one is a ruin) seen today on what was quite a fast (for me) 27 mile bike ride. First ride i've actually managed to do in complete sunshine this year as well.

Here's the route - http://www.mapmyride.com/workout/230783042

Although i went through Rackheath (twice) i failed to get a picture of the church. Will have to find out exactly where that one is

Here's the churches


All Saints. Panxworth
http://norfolkchurches.co.uk/panxworth/panxworth.htm

St Helen. Ranworth
http://norfolkchurches.co.uk/ranworth/ranworth.htm
 Got talking to a friendly old chap outside the next church. Apparently, this is the only church in the UK that is dedicated to both St Fabian & St Sebastian.
St Fabian & St Sebastian. Woodbastwick
http://norfolkchurches.co.uk/woodbastwick/index.html

Had to take two pictures of the next one as it was quite awkward trying to get it all in.
 
All Saints. Salhouse

That's it for this week.

Cheers

Church spotted on 20 January 2013. Rode past this one on my way home from a cycle maintenance course last week

Today's excursion through wind, rain, sleet, snow & sunshine

http://www.mapmyride.com/workout/228223002

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.

St Margaret. Old Catton, Norwich

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.
