30th March 2021 Mt. Biking: Around Felixstowe Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny and warm Max Speed: 17.99 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 13 miles (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Tuesday 30th March - walk ***** - Felixstowe seafront – sunny and still. With wall-to-wall sunshine forecast and temperatures expected to break 20 degrees we wanted to make the most of the day. So, we get up early and headed the short distance to the sea front in hope of a good sunrise and we were not disappointed. We were greeted by an orange sky and as we reached the prom the red ball started to appear:) Walking to the pier to take some photos we passed a large group who had come down for a sunrise drip in the North Sea which was nice to see, shame they were playing loud music and shouting which rather spoilt the ambience :( After getting some nice pics we were pleased to move away from the noise as we headed towards the Fludgers. A large lorry with a crane on the back squeezed onto the prom at the Spa to put huts back onto the beach! We entered the Spa gardens to take a look at the new wicker family which are marvellous lots hope they can survive the vandals! Back along the cliff top with good views and the sea like a mill pool:) So a fantastic start to the day. Tuesday 30th March – bike ***** - Around Felixstowe including lunch with ‘Emily’ – sunny and warm Breakfast and exercises in the warm sunshine, Mag packs a picnic and we set off on our bikes at 11.45 biking inland skirting the Grove park with the sky a deep blue and very few people about. We stop and talk to the field of calves in Ferry Lane having fun in a small pond. Then down Marsh Lane to Kings Fleet and up the bumpy track to our favourite seat at Falkenham Church. We spend an hour here having a relaxing lunch watching the birds in the trees enjoying the view spotting a buzzard, long tailed tits, chaffinches, partridges, pigeons to name a few. There are also butterflies about enjoying the unseasonable warm weather! Well rested we get back on our footpaths for the first time this year having now for the most part dried out:) Kirton, followed by Trimley and onto our favourite tree lined path back to Felixstowe spotting two herds of deer and a couple of resting hare. Stopping off at Morrisons to buy a local paper as I have a pic in, in fact I have had a good month with 14 photos being printed:) Then home for the usual cuppa and scone. Tomorrow is looking the same so we might check the low tide and perhaps have breakfast by the River Deben with Thursday looking promising for a foil on the River Stour as the temperatures drop!
