Remember the Egg Nog Jog we mentioned a while back? Where you walk, jog or run at least a mile every day in December. Well, here’s an update.

The Egg Nog Jog was arranged by those behind the annual Suffolk Trail Festival taking plan on the 15th and 16th of June. If you love getting active, camping and family entertainment, it’s worth a look.
