A Quest for the Fabled Swimming Spot, Hoxne, Suffolk - 29th May 2023

Isobel has another crack at finding the fabled swimming spot on the River Waveney, somewhere on the edge of Hoxne. The attempt is ultimately doomed, however it's a nice walk/cycle around and, as we stop for a couple of beers at the Swan Inn, we get some local intel with definitive directions for the next attempt, hopefully sometime before Evelyn's visit later in the summer. Later, Nosher and Mick the Brick are off to the Railway Tavern in Mellis, as the Yaxley Cherry Tree has closed for a few weeks.
