Generally flat but as we're in a valley there will be ascents/ descents and up to 9 miles which will be at least 4 hours of walking

This walk explores some of the beautiful Essex and Suffolk countryside following a route of 8-9 miles along the Stour Valley Path, between the village of Bures in Essex and the town of Sudbury, Suffolk.  The route starts off flat just over the Suffolk border following the river then cuts across a number of valleys, where it becomes a lot more varied and scenic.  There is a small amount of road walking, but the number of the ascents/descents are more numerous and on a few occasions there are a few steeper parts - but we'll take our time on these to make sure everyone is looked after.

For those who have been on one of my walks before you'll know that I like to keep them at a pace that suits everyone and if you're considering joining OutdoorLads for the first time I'm sure you'll have a great day with us on this route.  As with many of my day walks I like to find us a nice spot to have a picnic lunch and at the end my walks usually finish up with a refreshing pint of something local before we all depart for home.

For our four legged friends this route is definitely dog friendly although usual Countryside Code rules will apply and I ask that you please respect that not everyone is a dog lover.  Please note there will be stiles so you may have to lift your dog over them in places.  

If anyone coming on this walk has considered seeing what it's like to be an OutdoorLads walk leader, I'm very happy to help and let you help lead with walk with me so you can try it out.  Please drop me a message so we can chat about it.

Can you offer a lift?  Looking after our environment is important to OutdoorLads - if you are coming by car and can offer a lift, please use the comments boxes on this event page to arrange with other members.
