before heading west where we passed a pair of abandoned skies! We headed North to Great Ellingham and the north porched church of St. James.
After finding no scratch dial, we had a look inside the church and had sandwiches in the porch, along with a sample of Elena’s home made guacamole. We headed off, initially east, along a footpath that then became a bridleway describing an arc. We passed under the A11 along Ellingham road and followed it into town. 
The Bear free house dispensed pints of London Pride and provided comfortable accommodation in which to consume them, however we did have to suffer “EastEnders” on the telly. A short trip down the high street reunited us with our cars. We had collected two large carrier bags of cans – 6lb 3oz in total, 3lb 12oz of these were aluminium. Today we started off with char grilled Puglian artichoke hearts. The Large Lattice pork pie was sliced and released no aroma and revealed a bright pink smooth filling and a hint of jelly. The pie was rather lardy and lacked flavour but found favour with the munchers, having been pieless for so long. The pie was judged to score 7.25, with a high standard deviation of 1.23040, a significant improvement to the previous score of 6.0. We ended with the customary Shortcake, So Wm. Morrison scored a normalised 7.5 for their large lattice pork pie.
