Joyce's Mini Walking Festival

The walkers on 14th September - Ipswich to Woodbridge at the highpoint of the walk

Well that was fun! 11 days of walks in glorious weather around some beautiful parts of Suffolk (and a bit of Essex).

You can find the brochure here. I didn't go on all of them, but here is an index to my blog write-ups of the walks I did go on.

Sat 12th Sept - Hartest at Sunset - 10 miles with a stop after the first 5 mile route.

 

Sun 13th Sept - Hawkedon - A 9 mile circular walk with optional stop at the Queens Head pub after the walk. [I didn't do this walk, but did it recently with Joyce as described here.]

Many thanks Joyce for organising and leading (and Peter for leading too). How did you manage to arrange such good weather?
