Exploring the countryside on the Suffolk and Norfolk border.

Varied terrain minor roads, field edges, cross fields and commons.

General Notes
There will be a main morning break and a late lunch. Please note many of the paths are overgrown with nettles and cross field paths are of barley/wheat and rape seed, those who wish to protect themselves from stings and scratches etc I would suggest wearing clothing to cover legs. Some fields have cattle therefore dogs to be kept on leads at all times. On street parking near St Mary's Church Gillingham
