What a top weekend - with some rough seas during the week, the first chop

Sunday 8th Feb.
Lovely sunny day so it was time to pack a picnic and get the bikes out - it
was Mags first trip out on her bike for a few days because of a dodgy knee
:( on the mend now :( We headed down the hill to the prom which was very
busy along to the Cliff top car park - no snow buntings today :( and along
Ferry Lane to the driving range before turning right along the track to
Trimley where we spot a buzzard :) We stopped off at Mag and David Coles
for a coffee and to wish Dave's dad a get well soon message after he had a
nasty accident out on his bike yesterday and is in hospital :( After an
hours break we continued along the bike path by the A14 - a bit scary with
the cars whizzing past and onto Levington Marina where the tide was in. We
had our sandwiches in the BBQ area. It was then past Loompit lake which was
full of geese,herons and cormorants :) It was then up the lane beside to
Lake across the small country lanes to the back of Felixstowe docks - at
which point Mag headed up past Morrisons while I continued to the dock
viewing point just in time to see a huge container ship come in as the sun
was setting - loads of people taking pics !!! Great bike ride :)
PS - this was the first time I used my Cotton Carrier to carry my my camera
on my racksack :) top item just a bit pricey.
