So after the great bike and canoe yesterday I was up at 5 in the morning taking pictures of sunrise ovver Alton water :) It was then back to the van for an early breakfast and to take the bikes out again !!!
We left the van at 6:45 and headed along the lake to Rabbits wood before turning toward Sutton and past yesterdays church and down past the big school to the Stour and onto Holbrook creek but this time the tide was out and all the boats were high and dry.We fed a mother duck and her nine young bread and watched the egret and swans before setting off along the path around Holbrook bay.At the end of the bay we seemed to lose the footpath and ended up pushing our bike for nearly two miles along the foreshore through mud which got deeper and deeper and our bikes and shoes getting dirtier and dirtier !!!!! We were lucky the tide was out or we would'nt have get through and we did have trouble getting around a creek at the end just before we found the footpath again.It was a relief to be riding again and we continued to Erwarton with veiws over Parkstone quay before heading up to the church and the road back to Harkstead and then to the co-op in Holbrook to buy a paper and lunch before heading back to our van after over four hours,tired,dirty but having just had a top adventure !!! So we washed our feet in the lake,had lunch at 11:30 then spent the afternoon relaxing,reading and watching the dinghy racing !!! Then in the evening we had a great bbq with the Hurrell before falling into bed exhausted at 9:30 !!!!
