Ipswich marina, Holywells and Nacton

Posted on September 23, 2011 by ACC

This ride owes a lot to the Ipswich Cycle Route Map (a freebie) and Sustrans NCR routes 1 and 51. I did 20 miles today, most of it on well mapped and signposted NCRs. I set out for Ipswich marina just … Continue reading →

OS Explorer Map 212 coordinates 26 47. Martlesham creek sounds to me like there should be gold diggers working in it, but I don’t believe there are. Near the creek the map shows the interestingly named “Troublesome Reach” and “Mean High … Continue reading →

Loompit and Levington

Posted on September 5, 2011 by ACC

This ride picks up from a previous Trimley outing that ended early with a puncture. That day I left the Orwell behind me at Loompit Lake and trudged up the track back to the village. Today my first task was … Continue reading →
