Angel78 and I had a weekend in Suffolk, it was a last minute thing, her father had the weekend booked but because of reasons couldn’t go, so Angel asked if I would like to go with her instead.
Now Suffolk is a county I have never been to before, (there is only one other – the Isle of Wight) so I quickly arranged things and off we went.
We arrived at th hotel we were staying at in Lowestoft on the Friday, and on Saturday decided we would drive south down the coast and explore a couple of the more historical places there, so we went first to Aldeburgh and then came back up to the lost port of Dunwich

Aldeburgh’s most famous resident was Benjamin Britten, who with his partner Peter Peers are buried in the churchyard… so we carried on up the path from the last cache which brings you up to the churchyard… we looked round at the graves, and then went round the front of the church to find the Church Micro cache
