28th December 2023
Hiking - Walking: Around Felixstowe Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Mainly cloudy Max Speed: Distance Covered: 4 miles (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Thursday 28th December - walks **** – Felixstowe sunrise and The Dip
to the Ferry for lunch - mainly cloudy.
Even though the strong winds continue I decide to give windsurfing a miss
today especially as I have been two days in a row, so with a clear morning
with a full moon out of the bedroom window I decide to head down to
Felixstowe seafront to catch the sunrise at 7.30. Despite the strong breeze
of late the sea was disappointingly flat but I got a few OK pics including
a couple of happy dippers, then home, exercises. As we had to get a few
things from Lidl I decided to pack a picnic and drive to The Dip and walk
to Felixstowe Ferry. We set off just after one and with the wind slightly
off it was quite pleasant despite the the cloud with some brief glimpse of
sun but with some menacing dark clouds approaching! We were heading for the
seat by the jetty but it was fairly busy so decided to stop at our usual
spot by the River Deben for our yummy pork sandwiches with some huge waves
breaking over by Bawdsey Manor! We even had a few spots of rain during
lunch before moving onto the boatyard and back the way we came. I managed
to get one of this afternoons pics chosen as a BBC Editers pick but it
sadly did not make it on the TV!
