The 'walk' started in Dereham town centre at 10:30 prompt to catch the number 4 Konect bus to Mattishall. Some people made their own way to Mattishall, so the walk (proper) started with a briefing near the church.

With table cloths and china plates, it appeared as if we were in the most spacious coffee shop in the world.
