Thursday 3rd March – bike **** – Two rivers, Orwell to the Deben
including lunch at Landguard - sunny
After two horrible wet days here in Felixstowe we had a lovely sunny all be
it a little hazy day with a light onshore breeze. Mag was up early and had
a sunrise walk along the prom while I was asleep! I even did my exercises
in the back garden for the first time this year before we made the most of
the great weather by taking our Bovril to Landguard on the bikes:) We left
home just after midday stopping off at Lidl and spotted a thrush in Langer
Park, then we continued to Landguard, I went to the view point while Mag
went straight to the jetty lunch spot. Despite there hardly being a cloud
in the sky it was hazy at sea level. The path leading from the viewpoint
has been eroded but you could still get through by lifting your bike over a
small fence! The Orwell looked lovely with very little wind and with the
tide whizzing out causing a good swell in the channel! We sat for ages
enjoying our lunch, Mag even got me a free apple puff from Lidl especially
as there were very few people about. Then back through the nature reserve
to the busy prom which was difficult to cycle with loads of shingle washed
over it after the recent strong winds! Mag then headed up Bent Hill and
home while I did the usual route to Felixstowe Ferry, stopping to talk to
Swainy flying his radio-controlled glider in the perfect onshore breeze.
The Ferry was a nice as usual as I headed out on the muddy Deben path to
Marsh Lane back to Felixstowe and home.
