Saturday 30th December - walk *** – Nacton Shores including a picnic
– cloudy with light rain.
Decided to give windsurfing a miss today which left me free to do my
exercises, then Mag suggested we pack lunch and drove over to Nacton Shores
near Ipswich for a walk along the River Orwell despite the gloom! We park
at the top of Nacton Shore lane around 1.30 and head down through the woods
to the river, the tide was very high and there was a keen onshore breeze so
not very inspiring but at least we had made the effort. Our plan was to
walk to the right but the start of the path was under water, we managed to
get past on the river bank, just but the path through the woods was very
muddy and the wooden walkways pretty slippery so not great! There was a
couple of yachts out and a moth dinghy, that’s a foil boat, whizzing
about over by Pin Mill. We could not make it as far as the thatched cottage
for lunch so returned to a picic table at Nacton Shore and for the second
picnic in a row it rained on us, luckily it was light! After a quick but
yummy lunch we walked through the trees to the left sheltered from the rain
and breeze and the path was not as muddy! Then home for a warming cuppa and
hot water bottle!
