Overview

Walk the Sandlings Path from Melton Riverside to Butley via Bromeswell, Sutton Common, Tangham and Rendlesham Forests. Due to this being a linear walk you must book by Thursday 05 September by using Paul's contact details above if you wish to attend in order that we can arrange to have sufficient cars at the end of the walk to return the walkers to the start. 
Bring food and drink.

Please note that we have permission to park at Butley Village Hall in return for a £2 donation per car. The cost will be spread between all the walkers, so please bring some small change.
