18th June 2026 Hiking - Walking: Around Felixstowe Wind Direction: all over the place Wind Stength: up and down Surf / Sea State: smooth Air Temperature: 20 Sea Temperature: Weather: Sunny and hot, then sea fog with light rain and rainbows Max Speed: Distance Covered: 5 miles (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Thursday 18th June - walks **** – Around Felixstowe – sunny periods and warm until the sea fog and drizzle! Walk 1 – Early Felixstowe prom. I joined Mag on her early morning prom walk leaving home at 6 taking both my cameras but it was pleasant enough if not very inspiring taking my first pics at Jacobs Ladder and some more of the lovely poppies in the Spa Gardens near the Pram walk! Then home to sort out my photos with a cuppa before having breakfast in the garden with Mag before I do my exercises and it’s pretty warm now while Mag potters dead heading and tying things back! Walk 2 – Jacobs Ladder to the Deben for a picnic :) Then Mag had the idea we take lunch and walk from Jacobs Ladder, so we pack some crackers and brie with a flask and leave home at one. We drive down to Jacobs Ladder and walk down the steep steps to the beach and are greeted by the most amazing blue sky with some wispy clouds, just stunning, warm on the coast too with a light onshore breeze. Our aim was to walk to The Dip to join up all this week’s walks along the prom, after a short section of beach, up and down some steps we reach the next section of concrete prom with its rows of beach huts, nice to see a few actually being used! The tide was fairly high so there was note too many places to sit for lunch so we continued out onto the shingle spit opposite the golf course for our picnic! It was very pleasant sitting out to sea, several yachts about too, then after lunch the breeze picked up and the temperature dropped a little so it was time to head back. We took the steps up to the cliff top car park and walked back along the top just as the sea fog rolled in, can’t believe how quickly the blue sky disappeared! PS - I was chuffed to get a foggy pic on BBC's Look East today and went down to Felixstowe Ferry to watch the sunset! Photo Album here |
