1st November 2026 Hiking - Walking: Around Ipswich Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Gloomy and cold Max Speed: Distance Covered: 5 miles (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Sunday 1st November - walk *** – Around Ipswich – gloomy and chilly with light winds. We had to be in Ipswich early for a 9 o clock appointment so no early morning walk today, nothing much missed as it was gloomy and cold, staying like this pretty much all day! We made your breakfast and set off for Ipswich at 8.30, after the early appointment which went OK we were free until we headed to my Sisters for a tea to wish her Bon voyage as her daughter is off to Austalia/New Zealand for a couple of years which started at 2.30 so we had a few hours to kill so I drove down to Ipswich Waterfront and were lucky enough to find a parking spot near the water to have our breakfast as a few boats headed to the lock to get out onto the Orwell. I took a few pics on my mobile to send to the weather before we set off on a walk walking round the waterfront first before heading into Ipswich town centre stopping off at TK Max and boy do we hate shopping so we made our way to somewhere more down our street, the lovely Christchurch Park full of Autumn colours. We made it to the wild lake where we sat for awhile watching people feed the gulls and ducks, cormorants drying their wings and rats scampering past with a friendly squirrel hoping for a snack, sadly we had nothing :( We then continued to the arboretum doing a full circuit of the park before stopping off at the Mansion cafe for a yummy toastie with a cappuccino before returning to the van having walked nearly 5 miles. We then headed to my sister for a top get together with the usual top buffet, so despite the cold gloom we had a great day! Photo Album here |
