Wednesday 7th April - walks **** - 1 Early prom Felixstowe 2 Woodbridge
circuit – Sunny periods with cold North wind.
Walk 1.
Got up early wrapped up warm as there was still icy snow on the ground from
last night and headed down to the seafront which was nice and quiet:) There
was a clear sky everywhere apart from where the sun was rising but it did
clear that eventually. So, Mag and I did of usual early morning circuit,
past the new wicker family, up through the spa gardens up onto the cliff
top which felt much colder as we got more cold wind! Then back to bed with
a warming cuppa, then breakfast before doing my exercises in our backroom
with the patio door open in lovely warm sunshine, it was great if you could
get out of the wind with not a cloud in the sky. Mag did some gardening and
then some baking before lunch.
Walk 2.
Mag was keen to head over to Notcutts garden centre in Woodbridge in search
of a gunera plant but had to order two new tyres for our VW camper, could
be an expensive day tomorrow! Then we head to Woodbridge, I drop Mag off at
the garden centre as I continue over to Suffolk sails to have a small
repair done on one of my windsurfing sails. As it is the Easter holiday I
try and park by the park near the River Deben and after a couple of
circuits I get lucky! I then walk back to meet Mag who as had no luck with
the gunera as we walk back to have a chicken sandwich in the van with the
park busy with families having a good time. We then set off on our second
walk of the day across the park and railway line and down to Kyson Point
which has a large group of youngsters on bikes which Mag avoids, not much
social distancing there! Then back along the popular River Deben path with
the tide fairly low there are a few waders including curlews and egrets
with the big tide mill in the back ground! Although this is a lovely walk
it is not overly relaxing with large groups walking who do little to get
out of your way! Also, there is a take away coffee van and trailer right by
the historic mill which does little for the area and spoils your pics, we
personally can’t see the attraction on having to buy an expensive coffee
everywhere you go, we say what’s wrong with a flask! Then back to the
van, check out another garden centre before taking the back lanes to
Felixstowe. Tomorrow is looking slightly warmer and there might be a chance
to get out foiling before the cold weather returns!
