I'm back, after having braved the M6 in rush hour on my 125.
I was at Blaxhall YHA. Strangely I walked along the beach outside the nuc plant at Sizewell on Monday, then Thorpeness, Aldeburgh and Southend. The tides weren't much of a problem, just the flash floods during the rain. About half a foot of water coming down the road with potatoes floating by.
I'm sure that I'll be down that way again sometime.
