Coastal and riverside walks have been the theme of the last couple of weeks. The weekend before last, we were staying with family in Harwich, so joined their walking group on an excursion to Felixstowe. The most exciting bit about this was that it involved a ferry, which took us from the pier at Harwich to the beach at Languard, from where we walked into Felixstowe.
I do like it when Google Maps directions include ferries! It wasn't as warm as a May weekend should be, especially given the sea winds, but it was still good fun and we managed to squeeze in an ice cream before getting the ferry home.
All in all, we walked about 5.5 miles, which isn't an enormous amount, but was definitely enough, given that the reason we were in Harwich in the first place was to do a 20 mile bike ride the next day. Also gravel beaches are not the easiest terrain to walk on!
