Thursday 14th July – bike ***** – Two rivers including lunch at
Felixstowe Ferry – sunny periods and warm.
With fairly light offshores winds with sunny periods windsurfing could be
forgotten today so after the usual morning at home I made egg sandwiches
and set off just past midday. As we are a bit early for lunch we take the
longer route to Felixstowe Ferry though Abbey wood, the Grove before
whizzing down Marsh lane with the wheat coming on well looking great
against some big Suffolk sky’s with great clouds:) We bumped along the
Deben path to Felixstowe Ferry past the busy jetty to our spot by the River
for lunch, our place by the rocks was taken so we sat on the beach to
enjoy our yummy egg sandwiches and with the tide high there was lots of
boat action including yachts coming in with full sail and a line of 5 motor
cruisers heading out! It’s always a great spot for a picnic, then well
rested to continue along the prom past The Dip and around to the Fludgers
which is fairly busy with people enjoying the good weather. Mag turns up
Bent Hill while I continued onto The River Orwell as a large container ship
came in. Through Landguard Nature Reserve as the ship slowly enter
Felixstowe docks helped by a couple of tugs! I have never seen such a tatty
looking ship, really rusty as it passed the Ever Art. Then I returned home
through Langer Park to find Mag reading in the garden with our two
cats:)
