Please be advised that the itinerary has been altered slightly from that which was advertised. This is due to a health and safety issue which arose whilst planning the site visit. The foot ferry will now not be taken across the Deben to Felixstowe Ferry. Instead the minibus will drive participants from Bawdsey to Waldringfield Boat Yard. Whilst this means that the visit will not include Trimley St. Martin, Kirton or Newbourne, these locations have been visited during unaccompanied site visits by the Examining Authority.
