Saturday 27th June – walk ***** Nacton Shore circuit – blustery showers
with sunny periods.
So after a crappy windsurf session at The Dip I arrived home early and
after having lunch with Mag I decided it was time to head out in the van
for a walk. With Levington Marina still closed for windsurfing I was keen
to check out Nacton Shore as a windsurfing spot. There is a small car park
at the end of a deadend lane which is very popular but we managed to park
and were oon down by the River Orwell with Pin Mill opposite. The wind was
very strong onshore and it had just started to lightly rain but we decided
to carry on walking. We soon reached the woods which sheltered us from the
rain. Climbing up into the beautiful woods we decided to head to Levington
Creek and turn the walk into a circular walk:) Despite the breeze it was
mild and great to be out, out of the woods we turned left across the
duckboards through the reed beds, spotting two deer and a family of young
ducks. Up the hill to Levington Church seeing two more deer and then we had
to walk along the road until we reached the diagonal footpath back through
another pretty wood along a bridle path seeing our 5th deer! Back at the
van I recognized Steve Millers van so headed down to the waterfront where
he was rigging a 4m sail to go out foiling! We had a nice chat while
watching a couple with a topper and a canoe set out onto a windy Orwell! We
left before Steve got onto the water as my camera battery had died and
headed home knackered for a cuppa and cake!
