Details:- Lynne & I walked 9 miles along the Sandlings Way from Dunwich to Southwold on a warm April morning when the sun was warm, and the air heavy with the scent of gorse. This was a linear walk; so we had to drive back to Dunwich afterwards and collect the other car. Distance:- 9 miles; Going:- good; I've never seen so many people walking the footpath bet-ween Southwold & Walberswick. Map:- OS Explorer 231. Progress:- Walked 116 - 384 to go.
The Nightjar........is the symbol of the Sandlings Walk . This footpath was only recently created and runs 60 miles between Ipswich & Southwold, We did the last section and a half, and we are now doing two long distance footpaths simultaneously - the other being Hereward Way. The walk connects the remaining heathlands of the Suffolk Coast. April is a great time to be out on the heath - the colours , scents and sights are an endless source of interest. Goerge Borrow would have enjoyed being out there to-day - 'There's the wind on the heath brother; if I could only feel that I would gladly live forever.'
Towards Southwold.

Hi,
I've just finished a weekend walking the whole of the Sandlings Walk and camping along the way. The entire route is highly recommended!
