Tuesday 15th December – bike *** – Two Rivers, Orwell to the Deben
including lunch at Landguard – cloudy and mild.
The gloom continues here in Felixstowe with a huge blocking high pressure
stuck over the UK, actually there is no sunshine in the forecast until
after Christmas but at least it is continuing mild with light winds which
makes it ideal for bike riding. So, the usual morning at home then with a
flask of homemade soup with the tires pumped up we set off just after
midday heading down to Langer Park. Then onto Felixstowe Dock viewing point
and onto our lunch spot the old jetty at Landguard which we quickly spotted
the Eider duck that has been here for several days now, shame it was a long
way out on the River Orwell. It was too cool to sit for long so after
walking down to see the cormorants drying their wings and with the tide low
the long sweeping beach back towards Felixstowe looked as impressive as
ever! It was then back across the nature reserve with loads of rabbits but
very few people were out and about this afternoon:) We whizzed along the
quiet prom with Mag turning up Bent Hill while I continued all the way to
Felixstowe ferry where I spotted a friend launching the Felixstowe Ferry
rowing boat for a row on the River Deben. I took some more pics; I never
tire of taking photos here before returning home the short route across the
gold course to the town centre. Home for a cuppa but no cake, we are only
having that at weekends at the moment!
