PLease use Pay and Display car park near the pub pr village car park (FREE) in Chelmondiston. This full version absent for 3 years from "GO" brochures takes in some great views from a truly historic part of Suffolk. Walking through NT woodland and by the River Orwell - fabulous walk. Returning to the pub for lunch and refreshments at approximately 12.30pm. Pub post code is IP9 1JW. POST EVENT REVIEW - Despite the heavy overnight rain, ground conditions were not too bad for walking. The weather was cool, dry with sunny intervals - a perfect day for an autumn walk with some colourful foliage remaining. A big thank you to Celine, Chris and all the other staff who dealt with 30 diners very efficently and most politely. Everyone was eating within 20 minutes of our return.

Saturday 13th November 2010, EAST BERGHOLT - BENTLEY, Start 10.30am, Distance 6.5miles. PLEASE BOOK BY WEDNESDAY 10th NOVEMBER Meet and park 101.10am to pre-order food at "The Kings Head Inn", East Bergholt. Probably "GO's" finest woodland route. Featuring a number of undulating tracks through meadows and some ancient woodland. If it is a colourful autumn, then this walk always emaphasises it. Stopping part way for drinks before retruning to the "The Kings Head" for lunch and refreshments at approximately 1.30pm. Pub post code is CO7 6TL. POST EVENT REVIEW - Another colourful autumn walk on a rather grey day. Despite some recent heavy rain, ground conditions were only muddy in places with the fallen leaves helping to absorb surplus ground water. Many thanks to all who attended this picturesque woodland walk and a big thank you to Angie and Phil at The Kings Head Inn and Tony and Jenny at The Royal Oak for lunch and refreshments.

NOTE THIS IS ONE OF FIVE DIFFERENT "GO" ROUTES FROM THIS PUB. Pub post code is IP12 4NY. POST EVENT REVIEW - A mixture of bright spells with some light snow showers and cold. The landscape on this walk seems to be progressing more to rolling meadows , where once it was mostly arable fields. The net result is a more scenic route all round. Thank you to the small but very hardy group of walkers who supported this event. Thanks also to the staff at The Fox Inn for some very welcome hot food.
