Tuesday 20th February - bike *** – Two rivers, Orwell to the Deben
– cloudy.
Walk *** Around Felixstowe.
There was a good breeze from the sw forcaast today and as I missed
yesterdays wind I was keen to give it a go but the wind was slow to build
which gave me time to do my exercises. Thenn with the breeze picking up a
little I decided to head over to Levington to check the conditions just as
Maeva arrived with her mum after the toddlers they were going to was closed
for half term! I arrived at the marina around 10.30 and it did not look
very inspiring not helped by the cloudy sky. I was marginal at best so I
waited for a large tug pulling a large platform towards Ipswich to get a
few pics then decided to head home to see the Granddaughter stopping off
briefly at the Trimley Churches to get some daff pics. Maeva had a sleep
before we had a walk around the town and onto the clifftop to see the sea
before visiting ann old friend Mary for a chat and cuppa. Then home as
Maevas dad was picking her up at 2.15.
Bike ***
I then decided to head out on my bike even though the breeze had picked up
to over 20 knots, looks like I arrived at the marina an hour too early but
never mind as we have several windy days, sadly tomorrow is looking very
wet:( I did my usual two rivers route through Langer Park to the view point
with a boat once again planing the riverbed. With a tail wind I whizzed
through Langer Nature Reserve but had to slow down once I reached the busy
prom. Around to the quieter prom at The Dip leading to the Ferry, around
the boatyard and home for a cuppa and free donut from Lidl:)
