Today begins, actually, sunshine, dry, and, calm. A bit chilly at 3C, but, the weather forecast promises 11C.
By 10:00, the temperature is up to a reasonable 10C, and, we go for our first cycle ride of the year.
Just over 10 miles, to nearby Hadleigh and return.
Google maps suggests there is a route, avoiding the main A1071, but, although we make it most of the way there without going on the A1071, we end up on there for last 1-2 miles, not pleasant.
While we were looking for the supermarket in Hadleigh, I noticed a signpost to Lower Layham, which, I know from yesterdays walking, is a possible route back to the Campsite. We return via this much quieter route, through Lower Layham, then, on to Polstead Heath, a couple of miles further, but, much more enjoyable.
A photograph of my bike in front of a water tower, for no reason, other than, it is one of the amusing(?) challenges in on the CycleChat Forum.

It is raining again.
The plan is to stop off at Newark, Milestone CAMC Site.
By the time we reach Newark, we re-think. It is cold and wet, and, only 12:00, we decide we may as well push on and go home, as sit in the van, in the rain, at Newark.
Approximately 280 miles, and we are home, at 16:15.
No problems, except massive queue for fuel at Grantham, I haven't seen or heard any News today, and, later, learn that Russia has invaded Ukraine this morning. Not sure if queue for fuel are panic buying, or, something more mundane, ie, tills broken down?
