Monday 13th July - walks **** – Felixstowe Ferry and Orwell Country Park
– mainly cloudy and cooler.
I missed Mags early morning prom walk but quickly drove down to Felixstowe
Ferry just before 7 to take some weather pics, more cloud today and cooler,
much nicer:) So after a walk round the boatyard I headed for home to sort
out my pics before getting up for breakfast in the garden and doing my
exercises. After two hectic windsurfing sessions at The Dip I gave
windsurfing a miss today firstly because I couldn’t trust my old mast
extension after it popped off the base yesterday making it a nightmare to
get in and secondly my arms still ache! So I packed a picnic and we headed
over to Orwell Country Park arriving at 1.45 and instead of taking our
usual route through bluebell wood to the right we turned left and walked
down to the River Orwell through the lovely pines. Then along the river
path and down to the beach and it was lovely and quiet apart from a couple
fishing as the tide dropped leaving loads of smelly weed behind, luckily
the breeze was offshore so not too bad! We sat at our usual spot opposite
Stoke Sailing Club with views of the Orwell Bridge and enjoyed another top
picnic:) Then we continued under the bridge collecting a bag of rubbish on
the way! Then back up the long uphill drag beside the noisy A 14 with
everything so dry! Back at the van knackered and we had only walk 2.60
miles before heading to Sports Direct to get another pair of sandals before
heading for home for a welcome cuppa and cake!
