Getting there and back
From the bus interchange in Cromer, we caught the CH2 Coasthopper to the Coast Road bus stop at Overstrand, around a 12 minute ride (this bus stop is on the coast path). We walked back through Cromer and on to Weybourne and at the end of the walk, it's a five minute walk up the road from Weybourne Beach to the Church, from where we caught the CH1 Coasthopper back to the bus interchange at Cromer.
On public transport, for a one day walk, catch the train from Norwich to Cromer and then replicate the approach above.
Weather conditions
Similar temperatures to the previous day - around 21 degrees by afternoon, but the gentle southwesterly wind made it feel warmer than the previous day where we had the northeasterly breeze in our faces. We started earlier than usual to avoid the heat and give us extra time to enjoy the walk.
Walking difficulty
Moderate - but only just - this section did have some ups and downs, but not too challenging
