Walk Notes

This challenge walk attempts to complete the whole of the Suffolk Coast in daylight hours which equates to some 60 miles over 2 days of walking. This first part passes through some remote coastline and it is imperative to take enough supplies of water and food as there is little in the way of amenities from Bawdsey through to Snape Maltings. On this specific walk with a warm day and a strong wind the 2 litres of water seemed barely enough for this section.
