Brompton Bikepacking: a 110km summer adventure along the epic Norfolk coast

I toured the coast in Norfolk over three days and two nights on my Brompton folding bike and took all my camping gear.

It was a hunt for a glimpse of these two shipwrecks I read about. One is easy to find while the other is tricky.

You can only see it at low tide and it's dangerous to approach it even then, as the tides can be wild and can come in fast.

It's a four-hour cycle from Downham Market to camp in Burnham Deepdale. From there, I explore the Norfolk Coast Path, creeks, harbours and nature reserves.

After another night at Deepdale, I cycle to King's Lynn for my train home with a detour to see some sights in Hunstanton.

Norfolk's flat terrain and quiet country roads made this a perfect trip on my Brompton.
