Colchester Ramblers: Saxmundham Train Ramble

Led by Jenny, Colchester Ramblers are doing an 11 mile circular walk from Saxmundham station, stopping at Friston church for coffee and Snape Maltings for lunch, before returning to Saxmundham to get the train back to Colchester. There should be time for a coffee/drink in Saxmundham.

Please meet outside the main ticket office at Colchester North station by 0830 at the latest and with your ticket.

Train information: we will be getting the 0849 train from Colchester to Saxmundham. This stops at Manningtree at 0857 and arrives in Ipswich at 0907, where we will change to get the 0916 from Ipswich to Saxmundham, Return trains are 1555 arriving in Colchester at 1701 or the 1704 arriving at 1829.  The cost is £23 for an off-peak day return (off peak begins at 0845) or £15.30 with a railcard. It is also £15.30 for a group save with 3 or more people. Please be aware that both the Greater Anglia app and Trainline tend to only show advance single prices for the 0849 train, but I have checked at the ticket office and an off-peak ticket is valid on this train.

Please bring a packed lunch! There is plenty to see and do at Snape Maltings and you will definitely have time to get a coffee or drink, but I have no idea how long any food service would take. 

If you plan to attend this walk, Jenny would appreciate it if you could let her know by email or text if you are intending to come along so that she can gauge whether she needs an extra leader. Her contact details are jenny.spillane2@outlook.com or 07952 179909. It is understand that circumstances may change, but it would be helpful to have some idea of numbers. Also, please let her know if you are boarding the train somewhere other than Colchester.

Thanks

Jenny
