Sunday 11th December – Bike **** sunny
After yesterday’s foul day where it didn’t become light and rained most
of the time:( we woke to sunshine so popped the Almond croissants in the
oven, made a flask, got the bikes out and headed to the Ferry for
breakfast. With the wind a light westerly, offshore, it was a pleasant
peddle along the prom which wasn’t too busy to The Dip, past the golf
course to your favourite spot by the River Deben.
It was lovely on the beach eating our breakfast with the tide high we hoped
for a few boats to pass but here disappointed. After half an hour, we
continued to The Ferry where the Sea cadets were preparing for an outing,
then out on the new river path past the collection of house boats actually
floating:) It is beautiful out here surrounded by big Suffolk skies with
geese on the marshes and swans in the fields, reaching Kingsfleet we turned
left inland to Trimley. Mag continued home while I turned, continuing down
Cordys Lane. Even after yesterday’s rain the paths were not too muddy. I
reached the dock viewing seat, no ships in sight this time, so down to the
railway crossing gates on the dock. I carried on to the dock viewing point
and to the old breakwater where I stopped to watch a tug go out to meet a
large container ship. With it now clouding over and getting a bit chilly I
headed home for some delicious homemade soup:)
So a nice couple of hours enjoying the best of Suffolk in the wintery
sunshine covering 16 miles :)
