Milbur three

Slow Way not verified yet. Verify Milbur here.

I ran this route in early October 2022. Completely avoid. Overgrown and under-used. Not passable in wheelchair or by bike.
- Mildenhall to the A11 crossing is fine. Nice clear, well made path.
- A11 crossing is dangerous and hard to do. I had to step over traffic barriers in the middle of a dual carriageway (there's a longer way around, but it's no better as it means walking along the dual carriageway instead).
- A11 to Icklingham is totally overgrown and underused. Roughly 4km of nettles whipping your ankles, and patches with reeds overhanging the path. My legs were still tingling two days later.
- The path at Icklingham through to Lackford Lakes is not clearly marked, so you will need a map or good memory to get through here. The village is all pavements, but next to a busy road. Then you're on fields, which are fine but the Lark Valley Path signs disappear at some point.
- Lackford Lakes to Culford is partly fine, but there are sections where the signage (and path) disappears, a section that's falling into the river and gets very slippery when wet, and sections overgrown with nettles for half the year.
- Culford to Fornham All Saints is acceptable. Mostly clear and well used, although there's a short stretch on a busy road.
- Fornham All Saints to Bury, you start by running across a gold course - make sure you stick to the well signed, but indistinct footpath. Once you leave the golf course you're on a narrow path between trees and river, which has a tendency to become overgrown with nettles. From Mildenhall Road to the end is all easy enough, just pavements but a couple of tricky road crossings.
