Ascent Trip ReportAccording to the Information Officer of the Broads Authority the highest point in the National Park is Bath Hills at 12 metres above sea level. However, as the excellent trip reports by Nick Down and Rob Woodall confirm the highest point is actually more like 30 metres asl at TM 32424 91506 (on my GPS) or thereabouts.
It is found at the end of Free Lane (off the B1332 NW of Bungay), on the Angles Way/Bigod Way, among trees at the top of the bank above the River Waveney. Not much parking up here and when we returned for a second time in an hour to recheck the elevation on my (now re-calibrated) altimeter the occupant of the adjacent property "The Wood House" came out to give us a suspicious look.
The highest marked OS spot heights in The Broads that I can find are both 26 metres just ENE of Bungay on and near the B1062 at TM 356899 & 358903 (on 1:50k & 1:25k maps respectively). I visited them for completeness!
