13th May 2023 Hiking - Walking: Newbourne Springs Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: cloudy start then sunny. Max Speed: Distance Covered: Saturday 13th May - walk ***** Newbourne Springs - cloudy start then sunny and warm. The breeze from the North continues today and there was a chance of another foil on the River Stour but I had a pretty full-on session yesterday and with the tide getting really late I decided to give it a miss today. The forecast sunshine was slow to arrive so did my exercises indoors today before packing a picnic lunch and driving the 7 miles to another one of our favourites, Newbourne Springs, visiting for the first time this year:) The little car park was fairly full but you get the little Nature Reserve to yourselves. We set off at two for a circuit through old woodland, a section of heathland with several crystal-clear streams but the best thing being the vast array of wild flowers with birds singing in the trees, just beautiful. We had our lunch at our usual spot at the top of the heath with lovely views of rolling hills surrounded by bluebells, with new ferns coming in the red grass:) During lunch the sun came out and the fleeces had to come off, we were joined briefly by a woodpecker too:) After a top picnic we returned to the woodland path following the steps down with loads of primroses, just past their best. We took the path to the village coming out by the busy Fox pub, then up to the church for a 5-minute rest before returning to the van and home via Lidl. We then made a yummy curry for tea before having a well-deserved cuppa and cake with a quick doze:) Photo Album here |
