Public footpaths and farm tracks lead close. It looks as though there's a convenient bridge under the railway. The river Deben blocks the approach from the other direction. I'll attempt this in the morning on the way to friends in Essex.

Location

In a field between Eyke and the A12, Suffolk, UK.

Participants

Sourcerer

Plans

Public footpaths and farm tracks led close. It looked as though there was a convenient bridge under the railway. The river Deben blocked the approach from the other direction. I planned to attempt this in the morning on the way to friends in Essex.

Expedition

At first I categorised this as "Did not attempt". This was wrong. I diverted off my route and got to about 1.3 km away from the hashpoint. Then I gave up.

  • Cold
  • Wet - not quite snow.
  • Hasdog Lyla was recovering from an operation to remove a cancerous lump.
  • Too cold to leave the dog in the car.
  • Too far for the dog to walk.
  • I had been invited to a fairly up-market Italian restaurant later that evening.
  • I didn't want to turn up covered in mud. I forgot to pack a change of clothes.
  • I decided to visit the hashpoint on my way home. The forecast was for dryer weather but I still had the dog problems.
  • I was invited to sleep over at my friends house in Essex.
  • The Italian meal was wonderful. So was the beer. So was the wine. I was given a Santa themed dressing gown. You can see where this is going.
