In any event the rules say 'about half a mile' so we'll play on from Swansea bus station where it is currently 0545 on Tuesday morning.

We are just within our permitted 0.5 mile range (according to Google Maps) to walk to the Brancker Street bus stop on Manchester Road. Here we catch Cumfy Bus service 559 at 1851, arriving at Bolton Bus Station at 1912 Tuesday evening.

Since we've alighted from the last bus of the day we call it a night in Hutton.

The following morning we resume from the Anchor Inn on the 0615 Stagecoach in Lancashire service 2 (again) to Crossens, Bridge Wills Lane, arriving 0656 Wednesday morning.

A short walk to Cadogan Road Bus Interchange, we find a very different bus scenery than we would have done this time last year following the withdrawal of GoAhead East (KonectBus) from the North Norfolk coast.

We join Stagecoach in Norfolk's Coasthopper service at 1612 to the Delicatessen in Cley Next The Sea (on the A149 New Road), arriving there at 1647 this Wednesday Afternoon.

Slight problem

On Lynxbus' website that service doesn't exist as of 22 November. And Coasthopper seems to have resumed both on http://www.buscms.com/NorfolkGreen/uploadedfiles/timetable-pdfs/Coasthopper_9th_Nov_2015.pdf and Traveline SE

My post I deleted seems valid - leave Cley at 1720 Wells The Buttlands arr 1742

So what do we do? Which source, if any, is right?

Yeah yours is right. Not sure why mine was still on the website! My move was actually in fact supposed to be yours, so I'll change it to that.

OK

The only bus I can quickly find out of Wells is a Stagecoach in Norfolk 29 service at 1805 to Fakenham Oak Street, arriving at 1832 Wednesday evening

Fakenham does not seem to have any other buses after 1830! There is an X8 at 1835 but that's not enough time.

In order to comply with the rules on this particular quiz, we then call it a night before boarding the 0630 Stagecoach in Norfolk service X29 to Norwich (St Stephen's Street), arriving there at 0735 on Thursday morning.

If there is a later departure from Fakenham after 1835 please use this over my move!
