A Trip to Beccles, and the BSCC at The Greyhound, Botesdale, Suffolk - 23rd May 2024

The Thursday morning bike ride is interrupted by a flooded road in Thornham Magna, but luckily there's a raised path which runs through the bushes to the nearby village hall. Then, Nosher and Isobel are in Beccles for something to do, and for a nice lunch in Relish Café. Then the BSCC - in this case just Nosher and Gaz - are off to the Greyhound in Botesdale, followed by a stop off at the Railway Tavern in Mellis.
