5th February 2012 Hiking - Walking: Felixstowe Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: -1 Sea Temperature: Weather: cloudy and cold Max Speed: Distance Covered: 6 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Although not a lover of the cold and hate the winter :( I have been looking forward to the forecast snow, so when we woke this morning to find 4 inches, it was a case of a quick shower and breakfast, ski clothes on as it was breezy and cold -1 and Mag and I set off at 8:30 to see if we could get to Landguard ??? We walked down the road as the paths were deep but on nearing the prom we discovered that the wind had caused the snow to drift around the beachhuts leaving a nice fairly clear path along the edge of the prom :) Not surprisingly there were not many about, a few bonkers dog walkers and a crazy group of sea anglers having a fishing match !!! We made it to Landguard Common tand found a few kids with sledges. The walking was easy as the snow had been blown away !!! It was slow going and Mag had to keep waiting for me to snap away with my camera - shame the sky was so'ooooooo grey - oh for a blue sky and sunshine - still can't win'um all. We made it to the Landguard jetty just in time to see a ferry leave Harwich - rather them than me !!! We were hoping to have a coffee at the cafe at the veiwing point but they were shut :( We continued back to the prom where a few people had spent the night in campervans, stopping off for milk before getting back to the bottom of our road.Mag went home for a shower while I continued to The Spa, then up to the town for a pastie and cake before heading home for a cup of tea and a warm-up and to post my pics on Facebook. So great 7 mile walk in the snow and we were out for nearly 4 hours !!! :) Photo Gallery here |
