Thursday 20th August - bike ***** - Felixstowe circuit including breakfast
at the water ski jetty – sunny and hot.
My initial plan was to meet Andy Mexome at Levington Marina for a foiling
session but we woke to light winds so we quickly decided to take our
breakfast to the picnic benches at the water ski jetty on the River Deben
even though it was later than we usually go! We Weetabix, fruit and flask
packed we leave home around 8.45, skirt the Grove park to Marsh lane where
we follow a tractor all the way to Kings Fleet so no birds about today!
Then up onto the Deben path we have wall to wall sunshine with no one in
sight, just lovely:) All the paths have been recently cut as we reach our
breakfast destination and are treated to a display of diving Turns, with
the winds from our backs it was very pleasant sitting in the sun enjoying
our cuppa even if there were a lot of small black flies keen to kill
themselves in the hot drink! We have a video call from our son Rob with
Grandson Arlo and then I phone my sister for an update on my Dad in
hospital. We have to wait for the grass cutting machine to pass before
setting off again with the kestrel still flying along in front of us
searching for a meal. With the breeze still fairly light we decide to carry
onto Kirton Creek before following bridle ways and paths back to
Felixstowe. So another top bike ride covering 13 miles being out for 3
hours 15 minutes and with the wind still light it did not look promising
for a windsurf today so I do my exercises in the back garden.
