21st January 2022 Mt. Biking: Around Felixstowe Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny but chilly Max Speed: 18.48 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 14.65 mile (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Friday 21st January – bike **** – Around Felixstowe including lunch with ‘Emily’ – sunny with a chilly breeze. With a sunny day forecast Mag and I were keen to head over to Falkenham Church again to check the progress of the snowdrops. So usual morning at home doing my exercises including some new ones to try and sort out my dodgy heel before I made a chicken sandwich and flask leaving home at 11.45. With not a cloud in the sky and the sea flat calm we headed down to the seafront first which to be honest was a bit of a mistake as it was very busy but we took it slowly and were fine. At The Fludgers we headed inland to get away from the crowds taking Church Lane past the old church with the tree starting to blossom then down Marsh Lane past the delict house to Kings Fleet. This time we went up onto the River Deben path heading upstream with loads of waders about including a large flock of Dunlins feeding in the mud:) The path was in quite good condition, not muddy and it is always beautiful biking out this way with its fantastic scenery. There were a few walkers about but generally it was really peaceful as we reached the second turning inland to Fakenham reaching the church at one and were lucky once again to get our seat with ‘Emily’. Before our yummy picnic I went to take some pics of the snowdrops spotting a squirrel on the way, although they were better than last week, they are still not at their best but managed to get a few OK shots and was lucky enough to get one on ITV’s About Anglia weather this even, always pleasing:) It is great sitting here with great views down to the River Deben with loads of birds in the trees including some Long-Tailed Tits. Well rested we carried on still mainly using country lanes to Kirton but the breeze was now a tad on the chilly side especially in the shade of the hedgerows! Over the A 14 to Trimley and down Grimston Lane spotting at least 20 deer including a couple of white ones, sadly they were quite along way off but as always it is great to see them. Over the huge footbridge over the railway line reaching Blofield past the massive warehouse and home. So, another top bike ride being out 3 hours covering over 14 miles in winter sunshine. Then I learned over a cuppa and cake that one of my pics was on the cover of the local free magazine, Spotlight on Felixstowe, it’s been several months since the last the last one and as always, its much appreciated:) so along with the TV pic its been a good day!
