27th July 2026 Hiking - Walking: Bramford to Sproughton Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Some sunny periods Max Speed: Distance Covered: 3.25 miles (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Monday 27th July - walk *** – Bramford to Sproughton – some sunny periods. The day started sunny but I gave the early morning walk with Mag a miss this morning, we had a dentists appointment at 10.45 which gave me enough time for breakfast and exercises in the back garden before I packed a picnic. By the time we headed to the dentist this morning’s sunshine had been replaced by cloud and I had a plan after as we headed towards Ipswich and hit queues for the Orwell Bridge, the problem was heavy traffic at the Toys R Us roundabout with long tail backs each way! I actually took the wrong exit off the A 14 but after a drive round Whitehouse we made it to our destination, the car park by the River Gipping at Bramford. To be fair it was a pretty uninspiring walk to Sproughton with the river covered in duck weed, I spent many hours fishing this river at Sproughton many years ago but everything seems so overgrown but there was some impressive willow trees. We made it as far as the A 14 Bridge where the traffic was still queuing! We then needed a seat for our lunch and ended up in the church at Sproughton which was pleasant enough. We then started the walk back ending walking over three miles. Wanting to avoid the A 14 I decided to take the country lane route starting along Paper Mill Lane where Mag used to walk at the long gone Fisons where we stopped to watch a combine working at the entrance to the scrap yard! Then onto Claydon, Henley, Playford, Little Bealings, Martlesham Newbourne and home for a welcome cuppa! Photo Album here |
