Hiking - Walking: Felixstowe and Orwell Country Park Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered: 5 miles (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Monday 6th April - walks ***** – Sunrise Felixstowe prom and Orwell
Country Park – sunny with light winds.
Walk 1 – Sunrise along Felixstowe Prom.
Mag woke me at 6 to say the sky was a lovely red, too late to make it down
to the seafront so I snapped a couple od shots out of the back bedroom
window:) I then decided to join Mag for her daily early morning walk down
along the seafront, the sky was a lovely golden colour and we had just made
it to the prom at 6.16 when the sun peaked above the horizon, we then
continued on towards The Fludyers and for a change we had a Bank holiday
with pretty much wall to wall sunshine with light winds! It was certainly
the best time to be on the prom to enjoy the peace and quiet before the
holiday crowds arrive! It was then home to sort my picks with a cuppa in
bed, great way to start the day!
Walk 2 – Orwell Counntry Park near Ipswich.
I then did my exercises in the sunny, warm back garden with Mag pottering,
sieving compst and sorting plants:) I then packed a picnic and we headed
inland away from the crowds to Orwell Country Park near Ipswich although
the car park was pretty full but you actually don’t see that many people
while out walking! We started through the small section of bluebell wood
but although there were a few blooms out we were a little early for here
but still very lovely, spotting several squirrels along the way! We reached
the River Orwell looking lovely with many blossom trees and loads of boats
out on the water:) We had not had breakfast that long so walked past our
usual spot opposite Stoke Sailing Club, under the Orwell Bridge to a seat
we great views down the Orwell, sadly that seat was taken so we sat on the
grass a little further along to enjoy another yummy chicken sandwich
watching the yacthts sail under the bridge in a nice breeze! We then ambled
back along the busy and noisy A 14 to the van before taking the scenic
Levington road back to Felixstowe, a top Bank Holiday!
