Sunday 23rd April – Bike **** Felixstowe to Levington – sunny periods.

After yesterday when the highlight of the day was a walk along a busy cold prom in Felixstowe we decided to make more of an effort today! A nice relaxing start, a bit of a lay-in reading. Mag is really enjoying Jono Dunnetts ‘Long Standing Ambition’. Breakfast and exercises before packing a sandwich with a flask and some delicious homemade trifle. We set off at midday on the bikes as the sun started to break through. Our plan was to bike to Levington marina for lunch through the tree lined lanes the other side of Trimley. We saw a new farm reservoir near Cordys Lane and passed beautiful yellow rape fields. At the River Orwell, we decided against the marina turning left to stop at our favourite spot on the cliff looking up the river but there was someone already there so we continued to a little shingle beach on the water’s edge. Lovely views but a little chilly with a good breeze blowing up the river. Top chicken sandwiches, trifle and tea while watching the many yachts enjoying the good conditions:) Despite the sun we were getting cold so decided to head back the way we had come but back on the path I spotted about 20 deer including two white ones on a small hill behind Trimley Marshes so decided to take the river path back towards the docks instead. We hadn’t gone far when we spooked another twenty deer much closer in a field eating the farmer’s wheat! They watched us and we watched them it was amazing to be surrounded by about forty deer:) We continued past the bird reserve, the winter flood was pretty empty but spotted Shell ducks, Godwits, Oysters Catchers, Curlew and a buzzard.
We were out two and a half hours covering about ten miles, as soon as I got home I got in the van heading to The Dip to check the windsurfing conditions.
