Hiking - Walking: Dedham to Flatford Wind Direction: Wind Stength: light Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: cloudy Max Speed: Distance Covered:
The forecast was for sunshine from lunch so Mag ang I packed a picnic and
headed to our favourite spot at Levington Marina for breakfast in the
camper :) the tide was very low and lots of birds were feeding in the mud
including lots of Knots :) then a paramotoe fly over heading for Felixstowe
docks - would love one of them !! With still no sign of the sun :( we
headed over to Dedham and managed to park right by the Millpool even though
it was busy with lots of families taking their kids out for a splash as the
feilds were very wet.As soon as we parked Mag spotted a tiny Goldcrest a
bit like a punk wren with a fantastic god head :) He was feeding in the
waterside trees and took no notice of me so I could get really close and
get some nice shots :) We were hungry so had our picnic in the van which
saved me carrying it :) and then set off around the mill, over the sluice
to the lock but the ay was flooded so we had to turn back !! We walked over
the bridge and headed down river toward Flatford which was very nice with
several ducks in the flooded feilds on the other side of the river.We even
saw a man in a canoe paddling against the strong flow from Flatford to
Dedham !! he had a fast ride back :) We got within a few hundred metre's of
Flatford when water in the feilds became too deep for walking boots :( and
we had to turn back !!! The sun even tried to show it's face for a short
while and spring is in the air with lots of snowdrops out - so a nice day
out in the Suffolk countryside or is Dedham in Essex ???
