Monday 6th February – bike ***** Hemley Church to Martlesham Church –
sunny with a light breeze.
With pretty much wall to wall sunshine and a light breeze it was the
perfect day to head out on our bikes, I did my usual exercises while Mag
did a bit of work in the porch. I then made lunch, we then loaded the bikes
in the van, leaving home at eleven and driving the eight miles to park at
Hemley Church. We took the lane past the church which soon turns into a
track with stunning views down to the Deben, at Waldringfield Church we
turn right taking the footpath and see Field Fares once again. Taking the
quiet Lane towards Martlesham before taking the track across the fields
leading to Martlesham Church. Not many purple irises but loads of
snowdrops, we walk around checking out the flowers spotting some
long-tailed tits before returning to the round metal seat to enjoy a very
yummy chicken sandwich with a couple of friendly robins hoping about, it
was lovely sitting in the sunshine in perfect peace and quiet:) Well rested
we take the lanes back, the road was actually closed but we could get our
bikes through OK although several cars had to turn around! At Waldringfield
Heath we turned towards the BT tower before finding a great footpath
leading to Newbourne with farmers harvesting a field of smelly cabbages. We
bike through Newbourne play park where we have spent many hours with the
kids we used to mind and across the wooden walkway with a buzzard overhead
which leads to our van, it was only 9.60 miles but it was really brilliant
enjoying the best that Suffolk has to offer:)
