A Walk Around Redgrave and Lopham Fen, Redgrave, Suffolk - 3rd January 2021

It's the first day of relative freedom since we were "track and traced" and had to isolate for ten days, so we go out for a walk around Redgrave and Lopham Fen - the source of the River Waveney on the Norfolk/Suffolk border - in order to relieve the Cabin Fever. It's challenging work as the area is heavily waterlogged, and although Nosher has waterproof walking boots on, they're only waterproof up the point where the socks start, and the standing water is deep in places.
