Bury St. Edmunds Ramblers Walk - Barnham Common

This was my second Bury St. Edmunds Ramblers Tuesday walk.

Rather fewer out today than the previous Tostock walk, but it was rather hot, which may have put some people off. This was our route...


As we set off, the parched landscape looked more like August than June.

Just look at this...

We were glad of the stop at Sainsbury's, not least for the chance to walk around inside in the air-conditioning.
Dave gave us some informative highlights along the way, not least the explanation of the Barnham Common Cross. Not much left of it now, I'm afraid, just this post

Coming from Bury St. Edmunds, we should have washed our hands in the water at the base, so as to avoid bringing our dirty germs into the parish, but It was behind a fence so we couldn't.

Eventually we got back to the river. Now are these little fish or tadpoles, we wondered?

Nearby, we found these Highland Cattle sheltering in the shade...

A gentle 5 mile walk, but that was probably enough given the weather conditions. Thanks Dave!

You can see more details of our route here and a few more of my (rather mediocre!) photos on Flickr.
