Hiking - Walking: Newbourne to Waldringfield Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: cloudy and cool Max Speed: Distance Covered: 7.36 miles (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Not sure what to do today as the summer has disappeared again being cloudy
and cool :( with only light northerly winds forecast we decided after
breakfast at home to do the walk we did yesterday with the kids we look
after from the adventure playground at Newbourne down to the River Deben
near Ramsholt but to continue up river and have luch at The Maybush at
Waldringfield :)
So we parked up at the playground and lucky for Mag she could borrow a
fleece from some friends on the park as she had forget hers and it was
decidely nippy !!! We followed the duck boards at the start of the walk
again seeing baby frogs past the lovely little church at Hemley and onto
the banks of the Deben.We headed up river past the sign which said the
footpath was closed due to erosion and sadly they were right for after half
a mile the path stopped and we had to turn back :( but the fact we saw two
seals laying in the marshes made up for our disappointment :)
We had to walk back to Hemley church and head along the bridleway over farm
land,past the clear water pond at Waldringfield which was full of colourful
rudd :) past the busy Waldrinfield ailing Club - loads of kids out sailing
and onto the Maybush for a great lunch of steak and kidney pudding :)
Refreshed from our break we headed back along the river but had to retrace
our steps again when we ran out of path again !!! We saw a fox run in front
of us on the bridleway but it is a poor time of year for birds not seeing
much of anything :( So despite of the cool,cloudy day we really enjoyed our
7 mile stroll in the Suffolk countryside :) Looks like a poor wind weekend
so perhaps more walking ???
