  Have watched the HDiJ threads for the last few years but date / location never quite worked to join. This would be on my side of London and on a clear weekend - in, if you’re happy with a new face joining?

  Would take the frame, forks, stem and headset if splitting but would need posting.

  No worries. Reading back it’s a very beer heavy list of recommendations!! There are lots of other nice things to see as well.

  Very sensible!

  Suggestions:

  Route from bury to Ipswich looks nice, Maglia Rosso cycling cafe is worth a look if you go past.

  Ipswich gets a bad rap but loads of accommodation and some good pubs. The Fat Cat or The Spread Eagle both good.

  Make sure the Felixstowe ferry is running before you set off. If not, going via Woodbridge is nice enough.

  Southwold will make a nice stop with loads of places to stay and eat. Might be pricey. Adnams pubs a plenty.

  Lowestoft is pretty grim and I’d avoid. It does have a good pub the Stanford Arms.

  St Peter’s brewery is worth a stop. Also Grain as mentioned, it does open tap days at the brewery in Alburgh sometimes. Ampersand brewery is excellent and has an owned pub (the Cap) in Harleston, and a brewery tap slightly off route in Diss.

  Botesdale is a small village with a couple of pubs and that’s about it. But not many other logical stops in that area - Eye or Diss both a bit bigger and would be possible options.

  Distances all look sensible, it’s pretty flat and the roads are mostly super quiet. Enjoy!

  This is local to me - the route actually goes right outside my front door. Are you planning on camping / bivvying?

  Nah don’t think you’d fit guards on with 38s, clearance is pretty tight, particularly around the seatstay bridge at the back.

  Watching with interest! Have just built one of these up, thought I’d share a pic so you can see what tanwalls look like on it - these are 38 Gravelking SKs (I like them but puncture prone, tubeless seems to have solved).

  Very random component mix as transferred from another frame. I think silver is the way to go with the mint frame.

  Enjoy the build!
