Dave and Matt wander round their local village of Overstrand. The intrepid pair look at local ghostly goings on, including the infamous devil-dog Black Shuck. They peer through the trees at Lutyen’s beautiful Overstrand Hall, then walk across the Royal Cromer Golf Course and, with autumn migration in full swing, chat about the local birdlife.
Matt and Dave take their first gentle ramble along the Weavers’ Way in North Norfolk, walking from Felbrigg to Aldborough. Along the way they explore medieval weaving, settlers from the Low Countries, Sustead’s historic church, and the quiet stories written into the landscape. With natural soundscapes, relaxed conversation, and a welcoming finish at The Cricketers pub, this debut episode is a calm, curious walk through place, history and music.
