Saturday 21st August – bike **** – Long Two rivers – Deben to the
Orwell including breakfast at the water ski jetty – mainly cloudy.
Wanted to get out this morning before the forecast rain was supposed to
arrive in the afternoon. A bit of a lay in first before packing our
breakfast, have Weetabix will travel leaving home just before 8.30 and
heading down to the prom in a rather cloudy, gloomy day with only the
briefest glimpses of sun! Cycling the whole of the prom including the
Fludgers and the Dip to Felixstowe Ferry. Out onto the Deben River path
bumping our way to the water ski jetty, well what’s left of it as it is
hanging on now and only a matter of time before the tide washes it away!
Enjoy our breakfast and cuppa while watching the turns dive for fish in
lovely peace and quiet with only the odd dog walker about. Well rested we
continue to the second Falkenham church footpath but not before bumping
into fellow windsurfer Dean Catten also out on his mountain bike and stop
for ages chatting:) Then up to the church seeing another biker and chat
again for ages, it has turned into a very social morning! Taking the usual
footpaths across fields of crops and bridle way to Kirton, then Trimley
following the tree lined avenue back to Felixstowe docks. It is here that
Mag heads for home up past Morrisons while I carry onto the view point
where there are very few ships in port but the dredger is busy working.
Through Landguard nature reserve and home along the now busy prom for
dinner with Mag. So a nice bike ride despite the gloomy weather, the rain
also failed to arrive, I covered nearly 20 miles being out for 5 hours.
Spent the afternoon watching the IQ Foil championship racing in
Switzerland, pretty exciting and buying another foil front wing, cant wait
to give that a blast!
