Tuesday 25th June - bike ***** – Around Felixstowe including
breakfast at the Water Ski Jetty – sunny and hot.
Another hot day with not a cloud in the sky and light winds we decided to
get up early to avoid the heat and bike to the water ski jetty by the River
Deben for breakfast:) Leaving home just after 7 we headed down to the prom
at the end of our road with the sea like a mill pool, it was fairly busy
with dog walkers, a few swimmers and a stand up paddle boarder as we slowly
made our way to The Fludyers before turning inland down to Marsh Lane and
then didn’t see another person for a couple of hours, enjoying the peace
and quiet with all the best that Suffolk has to offer! Out across the
farmland to spook the deer again as it runs away again, then we spot 3
hares, always a bonus with loads of birds flitting about including sky
larks and reed buntings. Then up onto the Deben path which we take slowly
as it’s a bit bumpy in places with the Deben like a mirror and the tide
low so lots of shimmering mud in the sunshine, the wildlife continues to be
good with a hunting marsh harrier, with a curlew and oyster catchers in the
mud! We reach the picnic benches at the water ski jetty and enjoy a
relaxing breakfast before setting off again turning off up towards
Falkenham eventually coming out at the church, across a wheat field to the
lane before taking farm tracks and paths back to Trimley. Down Grimstonn
Lane we do about half of the wooded path nice and shaded to before going
past the Uniserve warehouse, past Morrisons and home. I even get to do my
exercises in the back garden, a tad on the hot side, burning my feet o nmy
yoga mat! Then after a quick lunch we visit an old friend before walking
back through the town to the cliff top and home. One more really hot day
before it cools a little and I might even get out foiling on Thurs/Fri,
fingers crossed, it hasn’t been a great year for windsurfing:(
