Thursday 3rd August – walk *** Landguard Nature Reserve Circuit –
mainly cloudy.
I was tempted by a trip across the border into deepest Essex for a windsurf
foil on the River Stour but the forecast was due to drop and it was a
gloomy day threatening rain and after four days of foiling I decided to
give it a miss. For the third weekend in a row it is once again looking
pretty breezy but sadly it might be wet, where has the summer gone???
Back to today, after missing out on my exercises for four days I could get
back on track with them, then it was nice to do something with Mag, as we
needed to go shopping at Lidl we decided to drive down to The Manor for a
walk around Landguard Nature Reserve.Stopping on the way to take a couple
of pics of the new ferris wheel being constructed we parked near the new
caravans and started off taking the really overgrown path through the
blackberry bushes absolutely full of berries now, could be a good year for
crumble and also they were full of butterflies, always lovely to see:) Not
many bunnies out today as in the middle of the day as we headed to the
small wooden peir where you could see the dredger busy on the shipping
channel right near the container ship in the first berth with a couple of
old wooden saling boats heading up the Orwell in the distance. The best
part was the large number of starling foraging on the beach. Continuing
along the Orwell before turning left across the reserve, up over the small
hills and back to the van. Then a quick trip around Lidl for our monthly
shop and home for lunch.
