North Suffolk

[Retro Pedro]

Just got back after a weekend away near Bury St. Edmonds - Walsham-le-Willows/Stanton area to be precise.
Noticed the magical 'byway' signs seemed to appear quite frequently so putting the question to the guys that live in that area - if these lanes are known and if they any good?
I was in the Focus so wasn't able to have look for myself, but next time we go up there I reckon taking the Fronty might be a worthwhile option.
Came home via Saffron Waldron/M11 and saw some familier sights from when we did the North Essex laning day a while back.

Hey Pedro thats not far from my neck of the woods. I know there is a local 4x4 club up that way but was not aware there were a lot of lanes round that area. Will buy a map and have a gander.

Hi Mick - Following the sat nav, we came off the main drag at Elmswell and went up to A1088. Got turned off and went to Stowlangtoft where we turned left up a long straight narrow lane (past Stowlangtoft Hall Park). It was at the top of this lane where I saw the first byway sign on the left. From there we turned right then left again to the area where our friends live.
I'm looking at the OS1:50,000 map and looking at 'Potash Farm' there is a segmented black dash with a black dot which I reckon are the byways I saw.
We went for a walk around the Potash Farm area and there was definantly a lane marked up with the magical red dot with the opposite direction marked as a 'restricted byway'.
If you end up having a ride up round that area, it'll be interesting to know what you find.
