Karelyn walking short distances

New task- 50 miles in August- previously;
As this is our 50th year we are going to mark it by getting out and about in this beautiful part of the country. With the odd foray into other areas to meet up with friends. We don't have a target distance or route, but will be posting where and when we intend to go and hope that you will join us for some of these walks. Families, friends and dogs welcome. April 2011 will see the start of the walks, make sure we have your email address to keep you informed. We will be using the AA walks mostly, with lunches or evening meals on some of the routes, others may include bus or train rides to return to our cars, none will be very long between 3-8 miles perhaps.



All will be weather permitting, the aim is for a pleasant time not a test of endurance.

Monday 29th August; Gipping Valley (The Peaceful)

We knew that many of our 'regulars' were busy and didn't really get our act together in advertising this one, but Mick & I went anyway. 5.5 miles, towards Stowmarket somewhere.



A cloudy afternoon with a few windy spells, but some sunny ones too. We followed the Gipping, after finally finding the start point, past a lock, we could see large fish in the clear waters and passed a pair of swans. Along the way several trains passed us and there were motorbikes/quads in one of the fields along with the A14 traffic, parts of the walk were not exactly silent but very pleasant nonetheless.

Mick made friends with a Suffolk Punch, I'm sure someone will correct me if it's a different breed, it sulked when he walked off with out giving any treats though.
