Monday 30th October - bike *** – Around Felixstowe including lunch by
the Deben - sunny periods and mild.
We actually had a nice days weather with some nice sunshine, even managed
my exercises in the back garden. Then I packed a picnic and we headed out
for lunch, Mag did not want to go on any muddy tracks so we headed down to
the prom at the end of our road, turning left. The tide was very high but
luckily the winds were light and the sea fairly calm although there were
some waves breaking especially up the concrete steps at The Dip and at
Bawdsey Manor! The prom was pretty busy, several children about too,
perhaps Felixstowe has a Bakers day??? At The Fludyers were turned inland
for a bit across the cliff top and down the windy path to the prom, past
the golf course to our spot by the River Deben enjoying the lovely quiet
picnic as the tide whizzing out, the shingle bar was nearly covered and it
was lumpy in front of us, a large flock of dunlins were resting on the
bank:) After lunch Mag returns home while I carry onto Felixstowe Ferry
were a large flock of noisy gulls were enjoying some fish scraps thrown in
by the fish monger! Through the boatyard and out onto the Deben path but
not before I cut my hand and ripped by cycle shorts on a post! Stopping to
take my usual pics of the old yellow boat before reaching the muddy and
slippery path leading to Kings Fleet, lucky Mag did not come she would have
hated it! Whizzing along Marsh Lane, across The Grove and home for a
welcome cuppa!
