Just after midnight this morning we sat in the bus shelter by the Framlingham Station to see the first Dunwich Dynamo riders come through (the Dynamo is a loosely organised 115 mile overnight ride of 1,000++ cyclists from Hackney to Dunwich).  By 1am despite a surprisingly steady stream of cars but no bikes so we retrieved our auto to see if the Gentleman Plumber had set up a feeding station by the water tower.

The feeding station was MAGNIFICENT with free hot drinks and cheap food.  GP told us we'd missed the first three riders through ... we now stood about for two hours ... a friendly visit from two Woodbridge stationed coppers and three solo cyclists who flashed past without speaking ... the fourth solo stopped to chat and around 3:30am a steadily swelling stream started that included a trike, tandems, recumbents and urban single fixed/freewheels.

At 5:30am we returned to the Station Road bus shelter and cyclists were everywhere both on and off the road including a fellow with two spaniels in his bike basket, a girl in a red dress on the back of a tandem and a maniac on a Boris bike.  By 9am we'd run out of batteries, camera cards and energy and there hadn't been a rider for 10 minutes.   To everybody involved <BIG Props> and look what can happen while you're asleep nearthecoast.  Pix on Facebook and lots more to come, prints available on Photobox

PS: The GP says last riders through around 10:30am, all the cooked food went and he (and his family) served over 500 drinks not counting water from the hose!

The Flora tea rooms (lovely fish and chips) at Dunwich reopened last Sunday for the ha ha summer.

St Elizabeth Hospice tell us there were impressively 280 walkers yesterday.

The weather for last year's Walk of Thoughts was very nasty but at first time

venue Dunwich today the wind made it cold in the car park and on the beach but acceptable enough otherwise.  A 140 people had committed to support the St Elizabeth Hospice in Ipswich by walking in memory of someone close, plus enough signed up on the day that the departing mass looked around 200 walkers.

The police aren’t talking, the coroner is terrified, business as usual in Dunwich.  A Call of Cthulhu adventure set in the mythos infested town of Dunwich. ... on ebaY

In Dunwich surprisingly dedicated commitment to being brainless ... couldn't find their arse with their hand if they were sitting on it.

Oh dear, looks like someone tried to set light to the recycling bins in Dunwich car park.

The Flora Tea Rooms at Dunwich are still a joy even if it does seem to keep getting more expensive; two fish and chips, one side salad (this time a bit posh with fancy lettuce) and a pot of tea for two twenty quid?  Maybe it's us.  Either way we sat outside and it was very enjoyable.  We bumped into ex-Fram town councillor Chris Haesler now retired and living in Woodbridge, and afterwards there's the sheer size of the sea and sky to enjoy.
