Diss, Gissing, Aslacton, Forncett, Wymondham round 2 29/6/18
I said I would go back and do it properly, and I did. It was something of a last minute affair. The afternoon was free. I could just get on the train, there would be plenty of available light, there was no need to stress. The distance would not be a problem. With two unfortunate earlier expeditions, dark questions had called into doubt the whole concept of trying to roam around this corner of the country by bike on my own. Things go wrong; am I really up to the matter of getting out of tricky situations? One way to find out. This time I was adequately equipped: compass, check. Map, check. Food check. Water, well, juice, check. And this time I knew which end of Stowmarket station bikes loaded from. The short story is it all worked. It came during a spell of idyllic weather. No problems with the train to Stowmarket, my anxiety entirely unjustified. The train at Stowmarket turned out to be the friendly little ones, that you just push the bike on and fit it anywhere it can fit.
