Beware that opening this file with a browser shows the correct route of ~1hr. When I opened it directly in Google Maps it took out ALL the waypoints on my phone, just showing the direct route from start to destination!

The Google Maps app doesn't like 'waypoints'

I've changed the waypoints to destinations along the same route.

Three photos to tie ends up on the last Meet! I was hoping there would be a photo opportunity when we got to Finchingfield, I noted a space for about 4 cars, but not big enough for whole the convoy. When I pulled over to let everyone catch up as we approached Great Dunmow, there might have been an opportunity there? If you took any photos of your car Steve, feel free to add them.

FISH AND CHIPS on the BEACH! Sunday August 31st 2025.
We meet at the Bypass Nurseries Garden Centre Capel St. Mary at 10am for a coffee and a browse. Around 11am we take a leisure drive north along the A12/A14 over the Orwell Bridge. We then take the A1152 to Melton and then onto Butley. Heading north again we pass Snape Maltings and then turn right onto the A1094 at Church Common, that takes us into Aldeburgh. Here is a chance to view some of the most expensive properties on the east coast. We then take the beach road to Thorpeness where there may well be an opportunity to stop for a photo shoot. Shortly after passing through Thorpeness we head for even pricier buildings at Sizewell(!!), and then carry on towards Theberton, picking up the B1122. Our next right turn takes us to Westleton and then on to the Dunwich Road to reach our destination just in time for lunch at the Flora Tea Rooms, Dunwich Beach.
