Any interest in a Suffolk Coast Meet, concentrating on a small (approx 16 miles) area from Dunwich in the South to Covehithe in the North?
The areas's packed full of interesting features - not least Covehithe, an intriguing place under threat from coastal erosion (tree stumps and boulders of black soil litter the beach).
Dunwich Heath is a NT property photographed by Joe Cornish for the Trust's "Coast" book - full of heathers, gorse and extremely photogenic silver birch trees.
In between there's Southwold (anyone photographing the row of coloured beach huts will have their camera confiscated) with, among other things, its lighthouse.
There's also the Benacre National Nature Reserve, at which - according to the English Nature's website - the Marsh Harrier is one of many species seen.
I've not organised one of these things before (I couldn't organise a chocolate orgy in a Cadbury's factory) so you'll have to bear with me on this. But if there's enough interest, I'll prepare a suggested itinerary, including the above mentioned sites and any others that those familiar with the area may wish to put forward.
Timing - I'm tentatively thinking about the latter half of April but, again, I'm open to suggested alternatives (eg when are the heathers on the heaths likely to be at their best; when is the best time to look out for the bitterns occasionally seen at Benacre).
Many thanks.
Ian
Depending on dates i would be interested,
Did not get the bit about Beach huts?.
Not you as well Bernie! I havent been allowed back since I tried to overtake a tractor on a Wednesday.
Once bittern, Keith, twice...no, I can't think of anything.
Bernie, Suffolk's a very forgiving county. After all, they let me in six years ago. Of course, they may be regretting it now.
I'm going to start a rolling list of names and will keep to the two suggested weekends (last in April/first in May). I'll post a suggested detailed itinerary by the weekend. I think I may be getting the hang of this.
