Probably the best village in Suffolk
We walk on the FIRST FRIDAY OF THE MONTH, walking approximately a 3-5 mile circular route around different areas in East Anglia, journeying to that area by bus or shared car. Lunch is usually taken in a local pub or occasionally we take a packed lunch. Always remember your bottle of water, mobile phone, hat and sunscreen in the sunny weather. Always register your intention to walk.
You must be fit and healthy to take part in these walks and at all times you are responsible for your own safety.
This club is part of “Friends of the Village Hall.”
Please contact Lynne Quayle 01284 766909 or lynne.quayle99@btinternet.com for more information.
New walks are in the planning stage!
For the past five years we have walked for “Children in Need”, walking in the local vicinity and finishing at the Village Hall for a shared lunch, everyone donating £5 towards the appeal.
