Two Grundles Walk…
On Sunday we took ourselves off to Stanton in Suffolk .
My friend Tessa was leading the Newmarket Ramblers group on there 12 mile Sunday walk.
She was surprised to see us and I got a nice surprise too as a friend of mine from the Cotswold’s was also at the walk.
Now its been so long since I saw him that I had trouble remembering his name… I am sure it was Brian… but then it could have been Boris, Bernie or even Barry :-).
The walk took us along the two Grundles…
With regards to The Grundle, the book "Suffolk’s Ancient Sites and Historical Pla
ces" by Mel Birch, says…
"South of the village street, The Grundle - a gull formed as a result of melting ice at the end of the last Ice Age- was utilised in earlier times as a sunken way and remains today as a public path.
From Geoff’s dictionary the definition of a Grundle … A fish 
We really enjoyed the day , a great walk in brilliant sunshine with tea and scones to finish with, thanks to Brian, Boris, Bernie or what ever his name is…….
The walk route can be seen here

Looks like a nice place for a great walk especially with groups of other people.

Sorry Sally, Grey matter doesn’t enter into with
Grundle Trolls
Gender might save YOU but not the Billy Goats Gruff!
A slightly different definition than Geoff’s
