The Present

Who am I ?

Clifford John Jordan  >  Cliff Jordan  >  Whiffler

What am I doing ?

I am retired but still try to remain active by walking fairly frequently, normally two or three times a week with local walking groups, although my involvement with local community groups has now virtually ended. 

My exploration of the British countryside is now mainly limited to the county of Norfolk but I continue to expand my collection of photographs and attempt to make them easily available to all on the internet via this website and others. I have recorded many of the walks undertaken and have made maps of the routes available on my WhifflersWalks website.

There is my ongoing study of the Round Towers of East Anglian Churches to complete - I've only been working on it for fifty odd years now, so what's the rush! Then there's the garden - work-in-progress and always likely to be so.

Where do I live ?

I virtually live in WhifflersWorld but in reality I am still resident in Dersingham, King's Lynn, Norfolk.

Dersingham is a village of approximately five thousand residents, located between the market town of King's Lynn and the coastal resort of Hunstanton. The A149 by-passes the village - fortunately.
