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.

Sunday 4th September; Laxfield 2:30pm

We beat the rain and had a pleasant walk passing nothing of great significance. Laxfiled is a pretty village with 2 good pubs we tried one at the finish and the drinks were drawn in the tap room, I'd heard of them but never been in one before.
The Royal Oak, where we parked, had a large horse chestnut tree at the side, just beginning to shed some beautiful conkers, is there anyone who can resist picking them up and and rolling them around your hand.
The walk took us across farmland and continued down a quiet lane. We saw some llamas in a field and geese close by, the hedgerows were plentiful with ripe blackberries and there were ripe sloes too.

There were some very pretty chocolate box cottages along the way, although the walk itself was not one of outstanding beauty,  I think a trip back to the area will be on the cards as there is another pub with good food further down the road.
