Check the tides as I hadn’t done this before I left therefore needed to walk above the cliff and not all the way on the beach. After Hopton due to cliff erosion I had to turn around and walk back, which I was really gutted about. Would be nice if someone else has done this walk and know of an alternative bypass route to carry up walking up the coastline
