ROAD CLOSURE

Coming from Leiston there is a different road to access the village of Eastbridge.  The usual road, Green Lane, is closed to allow EDF to fell yet more trees.  Do not go down this road but take the next turn right, down Potters Lane. At the X roads turn right onto Cemetery road then right onto Green Lane.  The pub where we are parking, is opposite you.  Please park on the grass at the bottom of the car park.  This detour will only add a couple of minutes to your journey and I may start the walk a little later to accommodate latecomers.  Thanks
