A bit of a change of plan today as it was rather wet.
This is the original invitation from Joyce...
"Friday September 1st back to Glemsford for a circular walk over to Long Melford and back. Please park at Glemsford New Village Hall for 9.30am (earlier start time). Post Code CO10 7RH . It is a 10 mile circular walk with a stop at Cherry Lane garden Centre, Long Melford after 4 miles. We are using different paths to our previous 2 Glemsford Walks. Please bring packed lunch and expect some field crossings, brambles etc"
But when we woke this morning it was raining continuously, even though the BBC foreCAst for Bury St. Edmunds said 0% chance of rain! So a revised invite came...
"As the weather is atrocious this morning, we are going to now meet outside Ickworth Park Primary School, Meadow Drive, Horringer IP29 5SB at 9.30am.We are then going over to Ickworth Park and using the Open Access route we will head for coffee. Then hopefully, a break in the weather will enable us to carry on to walk about 8 miles in total. You shouldn't need a National Trust card, but if you have one then please bring it with you. "
I said to Dawn on the way that it might turn out to be just Joyce and ourselves, but we were also joined by Nick. Miranda, Jane and Steve. This was our route, going anti-clockwise.
