On a DD long long ago I came out of the food stop in Great Waldingfield and decided to follow a chap who was merrily riding up the road to Lavenham. It was clearly not the "correct" route but it turned out to be anothersam, and we had a good long chat as we rolled through a silent Lavenham and a sleeping Brent Eleigh before rejoining the main flow of the ride later on.
And two years ago I veered off route on the approach to Framlingham and, to be honest, it was almost a disappointment to spy some fresh tyre marks on the road that revealed that I was not the only person taking that diversion and avoiding the crowds.
