The BSCC at Finningham, and Stowmarket Teeth, Suffolk - 21st June 2024

Nosher and Isobel are in Stowmarket again for a six-monthly dentist checkup - at the newly-moved Tavern Street, in its fancy new premises across the road. Whilst there, we swing by Asda to pick up some lunch, which we eat in the churchyard of the church of St. Peter and St. Mary - the one with the unusual spirelet that was added in 1994. Before all of that, the BSCC is off to the White Horse at Finningham via Gislingham, as the pub is up for sale. It's the second cycle of the day through Gislingham, adding up to about 42 miles.
