Hiking - Walking: Baylam and Beyond :) Wind Direction: light Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: 5 Sea Temperature: Weather: White cloud Max Speed: Distance Covered: 6 miles (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Even though the forecast was for 'white cloud' and a cool 5 degrees
yesterdays rain had moved away !!! So Mag and I decided to get out into the
Suffolk countryside.I wanted to be near some water to try for some more
'blurred' water shots so checked 'Walking in Suffolk'and found a nice 5
mile round walk starting off at my old stamping ground - Barham Pits - a
scene of several fishing match wins many years ago :)
We parked at the Barham picnic site for a quick breakfast before setting
toward the River Gipping at Blackenham Lock :) We had to cross the Ipswich
to Norwich train track three times on the trip but only had one cross
incounter with a train !!!
We followed the muddy river path past Sharmford Lock to the Rare Breeds
Centre at Baylam Mill where we headed away from the river to Baylam
Village.We saw a heron on a pond before getting lost :( it was only a mile
rround trip out of our way !!! and we soon found our way back to Gt
Blakenham.So back between Barham A and B pits arriving back at our van
knackered after over 3 three and 6 mile travelled !!!
