With the cloud cover starting to build, Sanders MCV Evora bodied Volvo B8RLE type number 518 - BV21 OOA “Norfolk Adventurer” is captured roughly half way between Warham and Binham as it passes over Fiddler’s Hill crossroads while working the above diverted Coasthopper service CH1 journey.
A short distance along the Stiffkey road to the right as we look there is a Ford, which crosses Binham Stream, a tributary of the River Stiffkey, with a pedestrian footbridge, although the latter is completely overgrown with nettles and brambles. Along the Wighton road to the left is the entrance to the Fiddler’s Hill burial mound or barrow, part of which was previously situated beneath my vantage point before the road was altered in the early 1930s. Barrows are the most numerous prehistoric monuments in Norfolk, although many of them have been destroyed or damaged by erosion or ploughing. This one probably dates from the Late Neolithic or to the Bronze Age, so it may have been here for over 3000 years.
Due to building renovation related works, the A149 currently has a width restriction at Stiffkey. As a result all Coasthopper service CH1 journeys are diverting in both directions over the Morston - Wells section by way of Langham, Binham and Warham. A minibus shuttle service is provided along the normal route via Stiffkey which connects with the main service vehicles at Morston, again in both directions. I understand that the diversion is expected to be in place until early December.
"Accident: Red Air MD82 at Miami on Jun 21st 2022, runway excursion causes gear collapse on landing
By Simon Hradecky, created Wednesday, Jun 22nd 2022 07:04Z, last updated Friday, Jul 15th 2022 14:41Z
A Red Air Dominicana McDonnell Douglas MD-82, registration HI1064 performing flight L5-203 from Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) to Miami,FL (USA) with 130 passengers and 10 crew, landed on Miami's runway 09 at 17:37L (21:37Z) maintaining routine communication but suffered the collapse of its landing gear. Tower pressed the crash button and instructed the next approaches to go around. The MD-82 came to a stand still off the runway with a fire developing at the right hand wing, where a fuel spill occurred. The aircraft was evacuated via slides. Three people received minor injuries and were taken to the hospital. Emergency services quickly extinguished the fire.
Miami's Emergency Services reported they are on scene of an aircraft fire, their crews have been able to control the fire at the left hand wing and to mitigate the fuel spill. All people on board were checked for injuries, three have been hospitalized.
The airline reported the aircraft encountered technical difficulties after landing.
ADS-B Data transmitted by the aircraft suggest the aircraft was on center line of the runway until slowing below 80 knots over ground, then veered left, crossed the green between runways 09/27 and 12/30 and taxiways T8 and T taking the glideslope antenna mast for runway 30 with it and came to a stop just before runway 12/30."
On a very bright, sunny October morning, Sanders former Wilts & Dorset Wright bodied Volvo B7RLE type number 509 - HF54 HGX is captured on Warham Road in Binham as it operates the above diverted Coasthopper service CH1 journey. From here 509 will next head along Langham Road, but due to the acute turn a clockwise circuit of the village will be taken by way of Back Street, Field Dalling Road and Front Street. The same circumnavigation is also taken by buses heading in the opposite direction. Unfortunately my camera has not picked up the destination display on this occasion.
In the background we can see the ruins of the former Benedictine Binham Priory, which today is in the care of English Heritage. The building immediately to the right of 509 as we look - previously the nave of the once much larger Priory Church - is now the parish church, dedicated to St Mary and the Holy Cross.

Operation of the combined Monday to Saturday summer 2021 service CH1/CH4 timetable, which ran from Saturday 29th May to Friday 1st October, required five buses. Four of them were provided by Holt depot with the above journey part of a North Walsham depot duty that worked three Cromer - Wells - Cromer round trips each day, plus positioning service CH2 journeys between North Walsham and Cromer. For the winter period three buses are required to cover the eight round trips per day on the Monday to Saturday service CH1 timetable and whilst the North Walsham duty of three round trips is unchanged, the Holt depot commitment reduces to two duties which between them cover five journeys each way.

"Yellow does suit you! Not many people pull wearing that colour off like you do!"
I'm starting to think that I am about to fall in love with this outfit!
Although it's the first one I (sort of) planned out and designed while I was self isolating, I couldn't resist bringing it back out for a day trip today!
More bright October morning sunshine greets Sanders former J Fishwick of Leyland; Wright Pulsar bodied VDL SB200 type number 400 - YJ64 FWF as it heads along Field Dalling Road at Binham with the above clockwise circuit of Holt Circular service 46.
Having reached this point from Holt by way of Letheringsett, Thursford, Hindringham and Binham, from here the circuit continues back to Holt via Field Dalling, Langham, Morston, Blakeney, Cley-next-the-Sea, Wiveton and Glandford before regaining the outward route at Letheringsett.
