Ended in the Huntingfield Arms, too late for lunch, and with dangling glasses, broken when lifting Kali over a stile.
Set off from Heaveningham, parking at the start of Barrels hill (which was not a hill). Dallied by the church, now a private dwelling, as a polite sign describes, since 1981, with graves neatly lined along a well kept path leading to the remaining grave yard, neatly done. Must be a magic home inside. Failed to find the path through to Ubbeston Wood, but following the Low Road, walked up track (ignoring the sign saying Private, by permission only) I found where it would have come out, as I continued along to the west, walking right beside the Blyth. Came back out on the Low Road, blissfully quiet (was it a Quiet Road?) .
Mistook the boundary between East Suffolk and Mid Suffolk as a potential footpath (!), passed a graveyard for old cars and vans – an unusual pleasure after so much done up with precision and careful manicure. Left the Blyth to head north up the Low Road, until a footpath east, crossing back into East Suffolk, and walking high (!) above the Blyth valley. A few encounters with sheep – Brow thankfully stop down obeyed, dogs on leads champing pulling, wanting to engage.
Through a rigorously in rows planted wood, (ah back into Hunts land I thought), and out to Barells Hill which was more of a hill at this stage, to join our Quiet Lane, find the van and head off to Huntingfield Arms.
