Overview

This is a change from the previously published route because of the very wet conditions of Martlesham Wilds. The start point remains the same.

We will go along Martlesham Creek and the Deben riverbank as far as the toilets by Woodbridge boating lake, then into town and return.

At 5.5m it is slightly shorter than previous route,
