We never did replace a lot of the signposts that we removed to confuse Hitler tho. :smt002

Cos if this is on thats the way I'd come, don't fancy getting lost :smt003
Well the A12 to Ipswich could be worse I guess (just) but I don't know an easily navigable alternative.

Would recomment avoiding the A140 though. Seems to be mostly 40mph limits all the way nowadays.

Suggest Ipswich to Blythburgh (Southwold turning) on A12 then A145 to Beccles then directly north to Acle via the absolutely superb Reedham Ferry !! Bit more complicated to navigate but surely well worth it for the trip across the river.

There are at least 3 of us in this area so you should be able to hook up with one of us for an easy ride
:smt002

If poss I will show you a better route from Ipswich using a road with bends and stuff in it :smt003

Yes please Fausto :smt003.

Must admit I prefer roads with bends, dips, and hills than mundane roads. :smt003

Yes :smt005 . Reason being I haven't seen Sam for a long time now and its good to have someone who can drink what I can't :smt003 :smt005

Plus of course it might encourage the Falco lot to participate.

I realise the date won't suit many for whatever reason but was chosen mainly to tie in with the TD.

That doesn't preclude the possibility of our more traditional post holiday season, post harvest, pre sugarbeet season Indian summer get-together in September as well if there is a call for it. :smt002
