Monday 18th July – bike **** – Early morning two rivers, Orwell to the
Deben– sunny and hot.
With temperatures set to reach record levels, maybe 40 degrees inland we
decided to head out early this morning to beat the heat. When I woke at
6.20 Mag had already gone so I dressed and left home at 6.30 heading down
to Felixstowe dock view point via Langer Park. Again, the Mc Donald’s
have been to the car park again with litter everywhere, what’s wrong with
people??? It was very quiet here and a nice temperature for cycling too as
I set off to the old jetty at the end of the Orwell. Then back through
Landguard and around to the prom, the sea front was busy considering it was
pretty early, loads of open water swimmers, paddle boarders, canoers,
joggers, cyclist’s and dog walkers as I made my way to The Fludgers.
Around to The Dip stopping for a chat with a lady enjoying her clifftop
beach hut. I then bumped into another friend out walking to the ferry with
the Deben low and looking still in the light airs:) There were some nice
reflections on the Deben so took several pics before heading out on the
bumpy Deben path to Kings Fleet. Then along Marsh lane to The Grove and
home, a top bike ride, out for two hours covering nearly 14 miles. After
breakfast I managed to do my exercises in the shade in our little back
garden where temperatures got to 81 degrees! There was a chance of a sea
breeze but it did not arrive so we went for a short walk along the prom
which way too hot for us! Then up the town to buy the local paper as I have
two pics in it and home for an ice cream:)
Tomorrow is looking promising for a foil but very hot too!
