Hiking - Walking: Martlesham Circular Walk Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: cloudy :( again Max Speed: Distance Covered: 6-1/2 mile (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Was going to take my boards to Levington for abit of longboard cruising but
the tide not brilliant,the wind too light and still had abit of a cold so
we decided after breakfast at home to do the Martlesham Circular Walk :)
We packed some home made soup for lunch and parked up in front of the
Martlesham 'Black Tiles' and set off across the common toward Tesco's and
on to Walk Farm Wood which was a long stretch of lovelly woodland :)
After a short section of road we headed past Hill Farm which was ploughed
fields and sheep grazing in the cabbage !!! We then made it to the
beginning of Martleshan Creek on the River Deben with Kyson Point on the
opposite bank with Woodbridge just up the river !!! Mag and I stopped here
for soup lunch watching the many birds including a egret which flew right
over us :) We walked the length of the creek which would have been even
better if there was a blue sky but sadly just more Suffolk grey :( to the
boat yard/marina by the sluice.Passing through Sluice Wood to the
Martlesham Red Lion where we went wrong, walking along the River Fynn under
the railway bridge to the A12 but this was a great detour as the Fynn was
fantastic a fast flowing stream unusual for Suffolk which has been taken on
by a flyfishing club who have done alot of work forming pools in the river
for trout the lay !!! so good luck to them.
We retraced our steps back to the Red Lion and found the right path and
finished the walk in Run Meadow alongside Butlers Brook where we saw yet
another lama !!! and back to the van knackered :)
I finished the day watching England beat Scotland (just) in the rugby poor
game really :( but another top weekend even if the weather was not
great.
