Sunshine and The Ship

A lovely warm evening, saw 17 of us setting off past the Abbey ruins, walking along the coast to the Dunwich Heath National Trust property then back across the heath with just one small detour. A Sea King helicopter passed overhead before we went down a farm track past a small herd of deer.

A plentiful supply of rabbits ensured that Honey stayed dry this time, but well exercised, luckily they went to ground before she could catch them.

At The Ship we hastily ordered drinks, I think we deserved them after a fairly brisk walk in order to make it in time for our meal, everyone who walked stayed to eat and we had plenty. The fish dishes proved very popular and I had a wonderful pie.

We intend to walk up to 4 miles, depending on how fast we are, then eat. If the weather is yucky we will still go and eat. I do need numbers for the restaurant please.

Aldeburgh

We were very lucky in avoiding the torrential downpours that we met on the way to the start point and had a fine, very warm at times afternoon.

We crossed the marshes and walked through the park where a game of cricket was taking place.

Some of the group went off early for fish and chips perhaps, after completing about 3 miles, they headed back into the town and home.

 The rest of the party continued with a stop for Mick and I to try the Pistachio and Rhubarb and custard ice creams on the seafront.

Honey had a wonderful time in the mud and went home a slightly different shade.
