Fleggburgh In February

It's that time of the year when it's important to get out and about. Otherwise, before you know it, you've gained six pounds and lost the use of your legs.

Watching the weather, we opted for a trip out to Fleggburgh, where we'd heard there was a short walk and a good local pub.

Parking at the village hall was easy. Now tell me this - are all village halls built to the same specification? And is the brief always the same: as in - here's £50,000; now build us something multi-functional and don't worry too much about the exterior. And if possible, could you add a bottle bank. Oh and one for clothes and one for newspapers.Thanks.


If you like variety this walk is a winner. On offer were: mysterious footpaths through churchyards and old holiday camps; "Deliverance" style woodland, where you could imagine the sound of duelling banjos; a mosaic of wetlands, magnificent oak trees and remote cottages occupied by lonely pensioners with cold hearts and too much money.

Oh but what fun we had: we passed close to Muck Fleet Dyke, posed at Nab End Pond and paused at the kissing gate; we skipped muddy puddles, popped up in people's gardens and happily pursued the sunshine.

And here's the reward. Take your debit card and have lunch at the Kings Arms. Somebody has done more than just throw money at this enterprise. Somebody has made a real effort here and it shows. Now tell me when was the last time you could say that about a dining out experience?
