Overview

The car boot season is over so we can meet at Needham Lakes in the big car park. We will walk along the River Gipping path before heading to the pretty village of Baylham for our coffee break. After that we will walk through a gently undulating landscape with several woods, before reaching Barking and returning to Needham Market. The route may be modified if there has been a lot of rain.

Toilets and cafe at the start/end of walk, but otherwise no facilities. picnic lunch.
