Nice route, was also planning to make Colch this year via the A137, and the route card directions to Ips (which somehow managed to get me lost last time!);
have Evernoted your back-roads route south of Colch, east of the A12, if inspired to ride any further, ☺
Hope to do the same this time.
last years route.
Any one got a bigger ride?
