Finn and I were having a day on the Angles Way today from Earsham (near Bungay) to Harleston - only eleven miles and flat - lovely, just how we like it!
As we walked through a meadow alongside a river, we were soon thwarted though after only three miles to discover the bridge that we needed to cross was no longer there :-( We retraced our steps and tried to find another path to link up with the footpath so that we could carry on, but were out of luck there also - the field was criss crossed with electric fences and was just too much of an obstacle. Added to this, Finn had by now rolled in at least four cowpats so I couldn't imagine that any bus/taxi driver would let us within fifty yards of their vehicle. Time to call it a day and head back to the car.
So the day's plan was then redrawn and a diversion was made via a garden centre for compost and a fun afternoon ensued in the garden building more brick walls and planting out shrubs.
And, although the walk was aborted, I still maintain I DID my eleven miles today, most of them chasing Finn around the garden to give him a bath. Bloody dog!
