Just a short video filmed on a nice day out at Aldeburgh beach. The weather in England has been amazing and it just got hotter as the day went on. I needed the fresh air, you don't realize how good it is until your there !!!
BEACH WILD CAMP | SUFFOLK COAST | FRISTON TO ALDEBURGH
I met up with a subscriber named Dan who is actually a Suffolk lad born and bred for this 12 mile 2 day walk with a wild camp on the shingle beach at Aldeburgh at the halfway point.
The weather was a little overcast and we had a bit of a breeze overnight and some fine rain in the morning but that soon blew over and the nice weather returned. We also stopped in Aldeburgh for a pint and some fish and chips before our wild camp (it just has to be done!) at the beach.
We saw some famous local landmarks such as the post mill and House in the clouds at Thorpeness, along with the Meare, before passing Benjamin Britten's Red House the following morning on the edge of Aldeburgh.
We followed a section of the old dismantled railway en route to the coast and found a derelict building related to the railway line. We even found a small wooden cabin in the woods on the return leg of the walk that contained several vintage items.
The entire walk was fantastic, full of variety and the camp was very relaxed and fun. Dan was a great companion for the trip and we got along like a house on fire! Many more trips planned together. Thanks! DO WELL!

Aldeburgh is a coastal town in the English county of Suffolk. Located on the North Sea coast to the north of the River Alde, the town is notable for having been the home of composer Benjamin Britten and as the centre of the international Aldeburgh Festival of arts at nearby Snape Maltings founded by him in 1948.
Aldeburgh remains an artistic and literary centre with an annual Poetry Festival and several food festivals as well as other cultural events. Aldeburgh is a former Tudor port and was granted Borough status in 1529 by Henry VIII. Its historic buildings include a 16th-century moot hall and a Napoleonic-era Martello Tower.
Aldeburgh is a tourist destination with visitors attracted by its Blue Flag shingle beach and fisherman huts, where fresh fish are sold daily, and Aldeburgh Yacht Club as well as cultural attractions. Two family-run fish and chip shops are cited as among the best in the UK.
Aldeburgh is on the North Sea coast and is located around 87 miles (140 kilometres) north-east of London, 20 mi (32 km) north-east of Ipswich and 23 mi (37 km) south of Lowestoft. Locally it is 4 mi (6 km) south of the town of Leiston and 2 mi (3 km) south of the village of Thorpeness. It lies just to the north of the River Alde with the narrow shingle spit of Orford Ness all that stops the river meeting the sea at Aldeburgh - instead it flows another 9 mi (14 km) to the south-west.
The beach is mainly shingle and wide in places with fishing boats able to be drawn up onto the beach above the high tide, but narrows at the neck of Orford Ness. The shingle bank allows access to the Ness from the north, passing a Martello tower and two yacht clubs at the site of the former village of Slaughden. Aldeburgh was flooded during the North Sea flood of 1953 and flood defences around the town were strengthened as a result.
Aldeburgh is linked to the main A12 at Friday Street in Benhall by the A1094 road. The B1122 leads to Leiston. There are bus services to Leiston, southward to Woodbridge and Ipswich, and northward to Halesworth. The Aldeburgh Moot Hall is a Grade I listed timber-framed building which has been used for council meetings for over 400 years.
A unique quatrefoil Martello Tower stands at the isthmus leading to the Orford Ness shingle spit. It is the largest and northernmost of 103 English defensive towers built between 1808 and 1812 to resist a Napoleonic invasion. The Martello Tower is the only surviving building of the fishing village of Slaughden, which had been washed away by the North Sea by 1936. Near the Martello Tower at Slaughden Quay are the barely visible remains of the fishing smack Ionia. It had become stuck in the treacherous mud of the River Alde, and was then used as a houseboat. In 1974 it was burnt, as it had become too unsafe.
On Aldeburgh's beach, a short distance north of the town centre, stands a sculpture, The Scallop, dedicated to Benjamin Britten, who used to walk along the beach in the afternoons. Created from stainless steel by Suffolk-based artist Maggi Hambling, it stands 15 feet (4.6 metres) high, and was unveiled in November 2003.
