28th August 2025 Hiking - Walking: Around Ipswich Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny, warm and breezy Max Speed: Distance Covered: 4 miles (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Thursday 28th August - walk **** – Around Ipswich with a picnic on the waterfront – sunny and warm. I have now missed two breezy days in a row, that’s how things turn out sometimes but Mag and I still had loads of fun:) Yesterday our lovely neighbours invited 18 people who live in our road for a get together over a cuppa and cake and we were there 5 hours! Then today we had to go to Ipswich for an appointment at the bank but made the most of the day by taking a picnic. It was a bit of a muddle today as we had to wait for an email confirming we needed to go to Ipswich so while waiting I did my exercises in the sunny back garden, then after some calls things were arranged so I packed a picnic and we left Felixstowe around 12.30 parking up beside Holywells Park just off Landseer Road so we could walk through the park, past the green wild lake before taking the excit which leads down to Ipswich Waterfront, a sauage dog nearly got run over by a car when the lead was dropped which was quite a shock but it survived! We continued along the docks with the new pontoons nearing compiltion taking a few pics on Mags phone to send to the TV weather. We turned up to the town centre past a row of really old quarky shops, past Cardinal Wolsey’s statue and up to the Cornhill. We quickly found the bank, while Mag sorted things out I sent my pics to the tv, sadly no luck today. Then back to the waterfront where we had our picnic on a bench in the old Customs House with great views over the water with the Orwell Bridge in the distance. It was then back to Holywells for a quick circuit, not as far as we usually walk and back to the van knackered as we had walked over 4 miles! We took the scenic route back through Levington, checking out the sea at The Manor which looked great and home where we were soon dozing on the setees! Then we were woken by heavy rain, so I quickly drove down to Felixstowe seafront to take a few pics of a cool rainbow! Some heavy rain is forecast for Maeva day tomorrow and then a few more breezy days coming so hope to get out on the water again! Photo Album here |
