Did a MISSING road sign cause this car to CRASH ?

In the last part of the Rendlesham adventure we continue the journey after our night in the forest and follow another section of the Wolf Way as we make our way back to the start at the station in Ipswich. Along the way we meet more friendly pigs, stop off at Orford Quay, find a bad car accident or car wreck and try to figure out how it happened, then stumble across a replica Viking Longboat at a lovely dockside rest stop on a lovely sunny day. Then it’s the last push to complete a near perfect weekend.
Ah there’s nothing like a micro adventure on a weekend on the bike.

Below is a little bit about the Sae Wylfing, which is old Anglo Saxon for Sea Wolf Cub (I told you there was lots of Wolf references in this area)
Sae Wylfing is the half size working replica of the Sutton Hoo Anglo- Saxon ship – half size in length, but only an eighth of the size of the full ship by volume. The Sae Wylfing (sea wolf cub in Anglo Saxon language) was built by Edwin Gifford in 1993 to explore ideas then current on the shape of the ship, and to test it as a sailing boat. It is currently being cared for by the Woodbridge Riverside Trust

If you fancy buying me a coffee, I’d love a Large Latte thingy, or whatever they have in the pot, link below

all these pigs piglets there Here We Go Again a sea of pigs good name for a band I guess they seem to have a pretty decent life I’m getting off open air they got a house they got space it’s not bad I guess oh this is how those archers are formed the trees can’t grow cuz big Lor’s keep timing them back and that’s how an arch is formed guess you’ve ever [Music] wondered check this place out this is a nice place to stop for a their breakfast morning old school mountain bike in there [Music] oh got onege so apparently over there is about off Nest Lighthouse would have been which they were trying to say in the story that some of the Airmen might have been able to see from the forest which is not possible this is the village of Orford a lovely spot this wonderful ride we’re doing is called the wolf way and it was put together by a couple called Chris and Sharon over a course of about a year and it’s a 248 m or 400 km loop around suffk in East Anglia taking some of the nicest sights and scenery of the area which is really nice around here lots of Woodland lots of history and lots of connections you’ve got Anglo-Saxon Kings Viking Raiders aliens even in the forest of Brendle shmer I spent the night last night it really is pretty spectacular and the name the wolf way comes from Berry St Edmonds and St Edmunds there’s a lot of wolf myths in this part of the world apparently and one of them is about St Edmund now he was an Anglo-Saxon king who ruled from 855 to 869 ad and he was shot and killed by Viking Raiders now he had a lot of followers and they followed to try and find him and they found his body and it had so many arrows in it it was like a hedgehog apparently but his head was missing and supposedly the Vikings had chopped off his head and thrown it in the woods so when his followers found the body they also he a voice shouting here here here and they followed the sound and when they got there there was his head on the floor being protected by a wolf so they took the head and they took it back to the body where it rejoined and miraculously reattached itself and so was born the myth and legend of St Edmund oh dear very much a Country Lane here we have a little munjack deer oh freshly hit by the looks of it that’s sad many people would have that as roadkill but not me it’s amazing this whenever I go up front for a bit seemed go wrong supposed to turn here wck a market [Music] sir all right we go Wick a market just a reminder all of this with no back break nothing neither not a thing we manage we found who holy heck driving [Music] fast what we got V man somebody falling asleep I’d say it’s my guess falling asleep with the wheel I mean to go straight off on like that without any attention yeah wow air bags yeah or possibly speeding kids you know overtaking and stuff like that I mean I’ve done that not as bad as this but I’ve done something crazy like that when I was young and stupid the things that go on in the countryside just seen something spotted that sign over there which tells you it’s a sharp end I thought is there one this side maybe they’ve missed it there it is missing is some local Council getting sued to hell for that or in a lot of trouble so I conclude that these people and maybe not from the area were traveling too fast on that road which is very tempting quite honestly maybe at night and just completely not seen that it was a tight Bend or saw that it was a bend that didn’t realize it was this tight just got it wrong cuz they got some way around it if you think they’ve got some way around it haven’t they right that’s solved that crime let’s move [Music] on I remember these tractors yeah I remember the that’s right I remember the tractors you remember the food shop how ironic they got me beat already when they when they catch window my arrow addition they won’t stand a chance you want to go quickly to the dock on here woodd oh yeah why not yeah yeah yeah let’s have a look yeah we’ve got a lovely spot here I think this is an old Viking ship but looks at it cuz there’s a museum nearby so I’m guessing it [Applause] is what we got here artifacts oh m H smell it yeah it’s a bit of carving and act work going on inside yeah proper real thing oh look at that a planning I would have thought yeah or ads things like that ads Grable is this is what you can get the coastline in suffk it’s not bad is it
