Mayday 1996 was our first Mayday Weekend at Blaxhall. We were going to camp, but as there weather was cold in the week before we wimped out and stayed down the road at Blaxhall Youth Hostel. Here is Ceri-Siân at the water pump outside the hostel İStephen Dee 4 May 1996 ID S1996050415002 |

On our first Blaxhall w/e ride we had the full range of weather we have experienced at Blaxhall. The campers complained of a frost and despite the sunny start, see above, we were caught in a heavy hail storm which coated the road with the stuff. İStephen Dee 4 May 1996 ID S1996050415004 |

The nice thing about tandem rallies is seeing a very wide range of tandems, as seen in this rare example.. İStephen Dee 4 May 1996 ID S1996050415015 |

In contrast to the Saturday, the Monday was glorious both Sunny and hot. Then Ceri-Siân and I started our tradition of leaving Ann behind to pack up whilst we rode to Framlingham. Here we are taking a skipping break with the family we rode with, just outside Swaffling. Stephen Dee 6 May 1996 April 2005 ID S1996050615019 |

In our early visits to Blaxhall we frequented the tea room by Butley Pottery. In addition to pottery there were sculptures made from scarp iron. İStephen Dee 2 May 1997 ID S1997050216218 |

In 1997 we took our first family trip on the ferry
across the Deben between Bawdsey and Felixstowe Ferry. This is Ann
posing on the jetty at Felixstowe Ferry. I have used the ferry
many times in the past as brother Len moved to Felixstowe when he first
left home. İStephen Dee 3 May 1997 ID S1997050316220 |

The coastal part of Suffolk has very sandy soils, which give rise to some nice bridleways and byways. This is one one of the bridleways in the vicinity of Blaxhall. İStephen Dee 4 May 1997 ID S1997050416311

In 2000, a large group of us rode to Felixstowe
and returned via the ferry across the Deben. Here is ferry being
loaded with tandems. İStephen Dee 29 April 2000 ID S20000429331 |

The small beach on the Bawdsey side of the Deben is one of few sandy beaches in the area. Here is Ceri-Siân sticking her tongue out whilst playing on the beach. İStephen Dee 29 April 2000 ID S20000429333 |
