Mt. Biking: Felixstowe to Nacton Shores Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny Max Speed: 23 miles (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 21.6 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
With bright sunshine forecast all day it was a good opportunity to get up
early and head over to Kirton Creek to see if would could spot the deer
that Mag had seen when returning from her early morning bike ride on Mon
and Tues after I had dropped her off at the Shell garage on the A14 on my
way to work! So we were up at at six, pastries heated and flask made we
headed down to the prom just in time to see a lovely sunrise:) It was then
through the docks busy with lorries heading off, it was nice to get away
from the roads and out tree lined avenue to Loompit lake was stunning,
spotting loads of geese in the fields. The River Orwell was nice in the
still airs and the highlight was a marsh harrier flying right over our
heads:) There were loads of waders making the most of the mud, mainly
Godwits, after passing the marina and around Kirton Creek - sadly no deer:(
we decided to coninue along the river path to Nacton Shores where we
stopped for breakfast! It was then back along some tiny lanes through
Nacton, Bucklesham, Trimley and home. So we were out for three hours
covering over 20 miles and then I spent the afternoon windsurfing - top day
:)
