Blue sky, sunshine, 9C, with 14C promised as the high.
After yesterday's 20 miles, a day off from the cycling, so walking.
A 4.6 mile circuit, from Ludham Bridge, along the River Ant, to How Hill, then, back via Whitegates to Ludham Bridge.
A refreshment break at The Dog Inn, pub, next to the Camp Site.
The Dog Inn is advertised as "an award winning pub", and, in addition to meals and drinks, has a small Camping Area for Caravans and Motorhomes. Our verdict, fine, for a drink, but, I don't think we would want to stay there, and, for tomorrow's "eating out" plans, I think we will take pot luck elsewhere.

Blue sky and sunshine, but, a very stiff breeze (20mph) from the North East making it feel a tad cool.
The plan today is to cycle to a village called Neatishead, and, have lunch at the pub there.
We stumbled upon this place about a year ago, after one of the Covid lockdowns, but, before pubs and eateries had fully re-opened. At that time, the pub was closed, and, we had to content ourselves with coffee and cake at the village coffee shop cum village store.
Today, I work out a route to give us 10-15 mile cycle ride, with a stop for lunch. Ludham Bridge - Horning - Neatishead - Barton Turf - Neatishead - Hoveton - Horning - Ludham Bridge. , which eventually gives us 15.55 miles.
The extra bit to Barton Turf is necessary because we make better time than anticipated, wind is not in our face, and, The White Horse Inn is not open, when we arrive in Neatishead.
So, pleasant and quiet half hour sitting in the Church yard of St Michael's and All Angels, just absorbing the silence.
The White Horse Inn is a pleasant surprise, from the outside, it looks like a very small, quaint pub, but, inside, it is surprisingly spacious, and, tastefully modern.
Food was very good, and, an extensive range of real ales, no complaints.
Our return journey is not so pleasant, the wind has become even stronger, and, for the most part, we are riding into the wind, on the return journey.
