Tuesday 17th January – Bike **** Two Rivers – Deben to Orwell, short
version – sunny but cold!
Woke to lovely sunshine but cold only being 3 degrees which is OK as the
wind was very light, so after breakfast Mag and I decided to wrap up warm
and head out on the bikes, with this being my first outing on the bike this
month!
As we were out for tea and cake at an old friend in the afternoon we
didn’t want to go too far, so we headed down to the prom still covered in
sand and shingle after the high tides of last week! Then at The Fludgers we
took the road to The Dip before returning to the coast path where we had a
chat with an old neighbour. We past the golf course and headed to the jetty
at The Ferry where we stopped for a while to enjoy the views and with the
tide low we biked into the boat yard so I could get some nice muddy river
pics :)
Then back along the road to Ferry Lane where we turned inland and into The
Grove which was a little muddy after Sundays rain. Mag then headed for home
while I continued to the viewing point at Landguard where I had to change
camera battery and then I checked the extra high tide line for coal, sadly
very little as we need an onshore gale to stir it up again. At the end of
Landguard beach by the backwater I found a kilo of coal. Then back across
the reserve to the prom again and home, a top 12-mile ride being out for
two and a half hours:)
