The A17, East of Kirkby la Thorpe The A17 is the major route for HGV's accessing Norfolk from Northern England and the Midlands and also a major holiday route in the summer months for cars and caravans making their way to the seaside resorts of Hunstanton, Wells-next-the-Sea, Sheringham, Cromer and Great Yarmouth and is one of only two direct routes that links Norfolk with the A1, the other being the A47. It runs for almost 60 miles from Winthorpe, near Newark-on-Trent to King's Lynn across the flat landscape of the Lincolnshire fens with only four stretches of dual carriageway. <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=A17" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=A17">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> SABRE <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A17_road_(England)" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A17_road_(England)">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> Wikipedia

Where's the path? There is supposed to be a footpath from this point towards the right hand corner of the wooded area in the distance known as Kirkby Mount. Today there was no sign whatsoever of any path so I took the farm track route which cuts across the photo on the other side of the ditch instead.
