title	Hoxne, Bedfield, and the BSCC does the Lion, Debenham - 8th May 2025
intro	The BSCC - Nosher, Gaz, The Boy Phil, Isobel and Fred - cycle the twelve-odd miles to Debenham, via the roads less navigated, for a couple of pints at the awesome Lion, which is followed by a pint in the Beaconsfield Arms in Occold on the way back. Before that, Harry's in Bedfield for a saxophone lesson, which gives a bit of time to wander around the church. Before even that, Nosher and Isobel are off on a pub walk to the Swan in Hoxne, where Big Steve's out with his pony and buggy.
