And then there were two .....

Only two members of the King Street Ramblers were man enough to brave the elements today - so, Steve and I were parked in Beccles and ready to walk just before nine o’clock. We’re still walking the Angles Way, a seventy-seven mile stretch between Great Yarmouth and Knettishall Heath and which joins up the Weavers Way and the Peddars Way.

It’s been pretty grey and drizzly and was quite tough because we’ve not walked very much lately. Knees and feet were playing up today – so a gentle ten mile stroll was just what was needed. Except it turned into twelve miles due to my mapreading – as usual. After having got us lost twice (in two entirely separate locations!), I finally admitted defeat and handed the map over to Steve to take charge!

The route was on country lanes and in farmers’ fields – a bit squelchy underfoot – and we also had a hill which took us a bit by surprise. This IS Suffolk after all! The trees were beautiful – lovely reds and golds – with a lot of leaves to cushion the path and our poor feet.

Conversation covered a wide variety of topics, including mortgages, finances in general, savings, DIY and holidays. And despite the fact that Rachel wasn’t with us, we STILL talked about food, even to the point of swopping recipes!

We finished at Earsham at the pub for a quick drink. And we had to be quick too, even having a little sprint to the bus which arrived at the bus stop early. So, a very good day, but we’re looking forward to having more people coming out with us!
