Shame I missed it. We do have alot local mind. And some of those done in Lowestoft and Gorleston are in about the same state of decay……..

One of my great uncles was an RSPB Warden near there - Minsmere if memory serves. He and his wife lived in Westleton which I think is nearby.
I haven't been back there since the mid-1960s: nice to see your photos (and that of the twister).
Well.. Up st stupid o'clock to drive to Stow on the Wold for a hike I'd planned a while ago. Last time, the weather was better in the Peak District so I went North instead of South West..
With sunrise at 04:50 ish, I guessed I'd not have much darkness to contend with but, as the first mile or so was on roads, I had a red bike light on my rucksack plus a torch so I could be seen if necessary.
Sunrise in Lower Swell.
Lower Slaughter Mill
Bourton on the Water ~ The brewery... 🍻
Being nice and early, there were very few people around Bourton.. So peaceful before the hoardes of visitors arrive later in the day as it's such a beautiful village!!
Anyway, back to the car on 13½ miles, 2 miles further than my planned route, but I'd expected that as I meandered around a few of the villages on the way.

Looks a fun jaunt Pete…..great pics 👌
And funnily enough: the Dynamo has popped up ‘again’ on my radar today. How many have you done ?
Thanks; yes, it was!
The route took in lots of ancient pathsplus some newer ones, too: Monarch's Way, Macmillan Way, Warden's Way, Gloucestershire Wsy, & Heart of England.
I've done the Dunwich Dymamo twice. Once with a friend whose wife met us with a gaz stove, fry-up breakfast & beer at 04:30 and drove us home.
Second time was solo and was my longest ever single ride as I got a lift back in one of our trucks from Lowestoft. Just under 150 miles.
