Thursday 12th September - walk **** – Around Felixstowe including a
picnic on the beach – sunny periods.
After two days of some full-on windsurf foiling and with the wind in the
north it was time to give sailing a miss. The day started sunny but a tad
on the chilly side, Autumn has definitely arrived but in our sheltered back
garden it was surprisingly warm which meant I could do my exercises in the
sunshine while Mag continues to potter with her plants. I took the rolls
out of the freezer for our picnic lunch, not sure whether to go out on our
bikes or walk. In the end we decided to go for a walk, I needed a small
bolt for windsurfing so headed to Underwoods first and as usual they were
very helpful:) We then continued to the car park at Brackenbury cliffs and
walked down to the prom with some amazing clouds in the sky and with the
breeze offshore it was very pleasant and the sweatshirt had to come off. We
turned right and soon reached our spot on the beach with our backs to the
wooden groyne we enjoyed our picnic and the tide slowly came in! It was
very relaxing and we had a lovely time before we continued to Jacobs Ladder
and onto Thje Fludgers and it was surprisingly quiet with those out dressed
in coats despite the warm sunshine, thee was a bank of menacing black
clouds but they were behind us and heading out to sea! Up through the Spa
Gardens and the wind did briefly swing onshore which dropped the
temperature but we were nearly home so it didn’t matter!
I headed down to Felixstowe Ferry to catch the sunset and then again at
10.30 to get a glimpse of the Northern Lights, got lucky, the stars and
moon were fantastic too:)
