bump for this walk ... hope to see our regulars and a few new walkers along. We'll be serving drinks, hot and cold afterwards from the mobile cafe :) Probably a few biscuits too.

Could you tell me if this is a nice soft grassy walk or is there some gravely or concrete paths?
Just wondering if it is one Kyiro's feet could do. Thanks

Bev, very small amount of hard surface, probably less than 10 mins, to get us from the car park to the park access, then soft ground.

We walk down the park, under the Orwell Bridge and alongside the river, then back up through the woody bit.

We have sun! Quite a relief after last night's deluge!

Everything packed in boxes ready to go, looking forward to a nice walk then a visit to my mum.

Very nice walk today and really good weather, the threatening black clouds did nothing but threaten :)
