We were a little late setting off from the car and after a very sunny morning the cloud had drifted in so we had to be back to the car before dark which gave us a couple of hours to walk five and a half miles. Neither Jane or I feel very fit at the moment so we were pushing ourselves.

To begin with the route was well signposted but around the ruins of <a title="Orford Priory" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orford_Priory" target="_blank">Orford Priory</a> we went astray and found ourselves on the wrong side of a stream. Luckily I had an Ordnance Survey map with me so we worked out an alternative route and were soon back on track. The route took us through some beautiful countryside, it was like being on holiday, and we came across a ruined priory, a roman villa and medieval field workings - so a history lesson as well as a walk.

He was a happy chappy. Finally we removed our walking boots and clambered into the Smart Car. We had completed a 6 mile walk in just over 2 hours - tired but satisfied with our afternoon's hike.
