YASS:
The
Middy will be having its Vintage Bus Day.
One of our ‘turn up if you feel like it’ Steam Sundays where you take a chance on how many of us (if
any) will be there.

Museum: TM326607. The route ambles southward for around 15 miles via
Carlton, Friston, and Snape, stopping briefly to examine the
C15th church at Tunstall before a final five-mile saunter to
Parham. Parham offers drinks and snacks but not meals. A picnic
is strongly recommended. The return to Peasenhall is by a shorter
route through Sweffling. Some may wish to avail themselves of the
Sweffling White
Horse.

fishtanks, custard, spanners, bodybags, etc. Plentiful parking and
refreshments on offer. Après-jumble ride planned in order to spend
ill-gotten gains.

converge on the Middy.
We start from Stowmarket, V-CC Flat Section members

Horham (& not the car park at the Middy).
Our ‘spoke’ leaves Unity Road at 10:30, calls at Stowmarket Railway station
at 10:45, and Reeds Way in Stowupland a bit later depending on how long it
takes to struggle up the hill.
