15th June 2022 Mt. Biking: Around Felixstowe Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Sunny and hot :) Max Speed: 15.02 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 12.54 mile (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Wednesday 15th June – bike ***** – Around Felixstowe including breakfast at the water ski jetty – sunny and hot. With temperatures set to sour today, Mag with an appointment at the dentist and we were expecting a delivery we decided to head out early on our bikes. We still had time for a cuppa in bed doing ‘Wordle’ etc and with Weetabix plus flask packed we headed out just after 8 with not a cloud in the sky, blue is definitely my favourite colour which was in abundance today:) Down to the prom which was fairly busy with dog walkers and open water swimmers, with the sea flat calm to was perfect conditions for a dip! We made it to Felixstowe Ferry in time to see a canoe set off up the River Deben to make the most of the incoming tide. We then bumped our way along the Deben path with no one about, just birds, butterflies and dragonflies with stunning views all round with the wheat now coming on well! I did see another cyclist who recognised me from my pics on Facebook, it is usual for them to know me as it is usually Mag they recognise! Despite there being a lot of mud there were not many waders just a lonely curlew! We reached the picnic benches by the water ski jetty where we had a lovely breakfast enjoying the peace and quiet, just perfect! Well rested to carry onto the first footpath inland to Falkenham which skirts yet more wheat fields. We then take country lanes, bridal ways and foot paths back towards Felixstowe. One interesting thing in a field recently sown with spinach there was an excavator digging trenches??? We guessed it was an archaeological dig or the farmer testing to see if the field is suitable for another farm reservoir, who knows? Then onto to Candlet Lane where there was a field of a delicate crop with lovely blue flowers, Mag used an app. On her phone to identify the crop which turned out to be linseed. Through the Grove woods and home, out for 2 hrs. 40 mins. covering another 12 miles enjoying the best that Suffolk has to offer! Then had a nice time at home, me doing my exercises in the very hot back garden, at the least the tan is coming along nicely while Mag sorted her compost. Our special delivery arrived, we are very excited, more on that later before Mag has her filling sorted! I took some pics of the strawberry moon at 11 last night over the sea at the end of our road and got one very briefly on BBC’s Look East! Photo Album here |
