We returned to the site after a break of about five years. It is as welcoming as always and for those of you who remember it from about five years ago great news the access road has been smoothed out, no more pot holes just a well drained level farm access road. We had a short break (4 nights) and were able to acheive a reasonable length walk on each of the days inspite of heavy rain on the afternoon and evening of the Saturday. The rain was such that it would have caused flooding on some sites but the sandy soil copes with whatevever the elements throw at it and drains perfectly. The walk to Alburgh via the sailors path is a standard for this area but if doing it take the opportunity to visit the open access land to the east of blackheath wood the views across to the Alde Estuary are worth the detour. There are plenty of walks from the site both towards Snape and Alburgh and also towards Glenham and Friston all are clearly marked on the OS map and the going is easy with no steep inclines or hills. The little petrol station/CoOp store just up from the site on the main road ( walk up the Gromford Lane towards the church} is well stocked and seemed to be reasonable pricewise. This is a good base to use if visiting the Suffolk coast / heathlands and would recommend it highly.
