Sunday 7th May – Bike **** Around Felixstowe – sunny Periods
After days of windsurfing it was good when the wind eased and went offshore so had a relaxing morning listening to Ed Sheeran on Desert
Island Disc’s :) Then with a little sunshine appearing but with the sea front busy with a sad old car rally we decided to head the
opposite way for some peace and quiet.
First stop The Grove a small wood on the out skirts of Felixstowe, with the bluebells now past their best they have been replaced by
smelly and very pretty wild garlic with its lovely white flowers. Then out onto Gulper Road to the track towards Trimley then turning
right ending up at our favourite spot having a cuppa and some chocolates just given to us by some friends for walking their dog. As
usual the view is stunning, its then down the track to Kings Fleet which is full of swans on the water. A Yellow Wagtail then flow
along in front of us, the first we have seen. We see a Marsh Harrier and an anchor shaped Merlin as we got to the River Deben path. A
mile on we reach the sea back to The Dip seeing a couple of paddle boarders.
We bike along The Fludgers and cliff top home seeing from a distance the old vehicles on the prom. Out for 2hrs 25 mins covering 12
miles, had a cuppa while ringing my Dad to check up on his recent visit to Las Vegas and must have been on the phone 5/6 minutes, a
record!
