Post Event Review A really good walk with some great woodland sections and excellent views and once again the weather was in our favour with the forecast rain never arriving. Conditions underfoot were very dry BUT unfortunately the below-average-temperatures of the past three weeks or so have delayed the arrival of Bluebells, it will be another week or two before they appear on this walk! A big thank you to Andy, Caroline and staff for providing us with some great food - do try the hot beef curry - yum!! There is a superb selection of real ale on offer at this pub - Harwich Station Porter - beautiful! There is also Brewers Gold, Wherry and Adnams...now that really is spoiling real ale drinkers. We'll be back!!
